A Monster Hunter movie from the director of Resident Evil could never actually be like Monster Hunter the game… unless Capcom made the game like the movie.
The world of Resident Evil is joyously wacky trash anyway, so I’m not bothered too about the movies manifesting it as a different sort of trash. And that’s why I’ll watch the Monster Hunter movie.
They’ve announced a crossover event between Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and the upcoming movie, where we’ll get to play as Milla Jovovich’s character from the Paul W. S. Anderson flick and earn her armour for keepsies.
Debuting in December, the movie stars Jovovich as a US Army Ranger who, with her squad, tumbles through a portal into Monster Hunter’s world and joins the hunt. Hey, that’s how Geralt got into Monster Hunter.
