Long-time Leon Kennedy actor Nick Apostolides has shouted out Resident Evil 5's co-op partner Sheva Almoar as someone he'd love to see team up with his character in a future Resident Evil entry.

It's pretty clear that Capcom holds some Resident Evil protagonists in higher esteem than the others. It's Chris and Leon at the top; Claire, Ethan, and Jill are a tier below that; and then everyone else. And while the world is probably happy to see a lack of Billy Coen in new entries, the likes of Rebecca Chambers and Barry Burton – who have each had one starring role alongside a supporting role in the first game – would be a welcome return. However, there's one character that Leon himself wants to see as a star again.

Speaking to Skill Up, Apostolides was asked if there was anyone from a past Resident Evil game he would love to see Mr. "Hot Unc" Kennedy interact with in a future installment, to which the actor responded, "I always fantasize about cool partnerships and meetups, and I always have thought that Sheva Alomar from RE5 is such an amazing protagonist," calling her "underutilized."

  • Leon exits his Porsche into streets at night in Resident Evil Requiem Resident Evil Requiem's Leon actor doesn't know who he's married to either

Apostolides explains, "she's only been in one game. I just love her character and I wish they would bring her back into something, like a new mainline game," adding "I think that would be really cool to have them team up."

Given that the BSAA is in a very different state than it was during the events of Resident Evil 5, based on some plot revelations from Village and Requiem – which resulted in Chris Redfield leaving the organization – there is definitely room for a game featuring Sheva, considering she was a major member of the West African branch of it. Although she'd probably be better suited in a game with her fellow BSAA Special Operations Agent Jill Valentine than Leon.

Are you playing the new survival horror gem yourself? If so, be sure to browse through our roundup of Resident Evil Requiem safe codes for an easier time progressing.
