The terrifying zombie virus and the impending global apocalypse are brought back in Resident Evil on Netflix, taking viewers on a wild adventure. The first season expands on the mythos of the games by setting the narrative in the present day.
A multimedia franchise entitled Resident Evil (or Biohazard, as it is known in Japan) includes video games, comic books, novels, anime films, and TV shows, as well as live-action movies and TV shows. The six original movies, which were released between 2002 and 2016, as well as the 2021 reboot Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, gave it a Hollywood twist.
There are various groups in this world, each of which is pursuing its own goals. The Umbrella Corporation, which was evil long before the virus appeared, is the most self-centered of them all. In fact, it was the cause of how the virus destroyed the earth. Evelyn Marcus is largely responsible for the villainy of the story. On the demands of viewers, let's get to know about Evelyn Marcus in detail.
Who Is Evelyn Marcus on Netflix’s Resident Evil? Is James Marcus Her Father? Meet Paola Nunez on Instagram!
Evelyn Marcus, played by Paola Nunez (@paolanunez), is a CEO who is extremely ambitious and wants to transform the world while she is the CEO of Umbrella. The only issue is that Evelyn only wants to change the world if it helps Umbrella, which is a result of her sociopathic nature. She believes that the new psychoactive drug 'Joy' will help her achieve her purpose.
And despite many warnings from Albert, she ignores its possible risks in her haste to get it on the market. Her father, Dr. James Marcus, who created the organization but was fired when his actions contributed to the destruction of the original Raccoon City, is likely the source of much of her ambition.
Even so, Evelyn does have a tiny bit of warmth. Outside of Umbrella, she is married to Diana; the two of them have a son named Simon who is a teenager. However, it is hinted that she learned that Diana would go and take Simon away from her before the season began. In an effort to keep the family together, Evelyn consequently put Diana on 'Joy'.
Evelyn Marcus has a limited but significant presence on Resident Evil and the characters that inhabit its universe, at least in the earliest episodes. Her desire to transform the world, revive the business and use 'Joy' to treat diseases like depression, influences her character in the show. However, Evelyn starts to neglect the needs of her family as she struggles to maintain control over Umbrella and everyone inside, even Albert.
Evelyn Marcus accurately discovers that Albert is responsible after there is a break-in and then a leak at Umbrella. And she gets Albert imprisoned after finding out that Albert killed former journalist Angel to hide his tracks. When Bert, Albert's clone who calls Evelyn Mom, escapes, she commands her soldiers to return Bert to Umbrella. Evelyn seeks to find Albert and his family as it becomes clear that he was hiding the fact that his daughter Billie Wesker had been bit.
Billie bites Simon as he tries to help Jade and Billie. As she shoots Simon in the eye, Evelyn cries because Simon is now infected with the T-Virus. She follows Albert, Jade, Billie, and Bert while completely on the verge of war. Albert, however, pulls her into a trap. Evelyn just makes it out of Umbrella alive as Albert blows up a bomb there.
By the year 2036, Billie has the power over Evelyn Marcus, however, it's unclear what will happen after that in the show. (By implanting electrodes in her brain and saturating her with 87 different medications.) Therefore, in a dramatic turn of events, Billie now commands Umbrella via Evelyn. Evelyn tells Billie that even though she is weak, she will never kill her because Billie needs her more than anything.
