Albert Wesker voice actor DC Douglas has called out Capcom to cast him again in the role for Resident Evil 6.

“Hell yeah! I know RE6 is in the works, so hopefully I’ll get a chance to audition for it… or you guys could bug Capcom into casting me in it!” he told Hell Descent in an interview when asked if he was interested in returning to the role.

Douglas, however, clarified his comment on knowing a sequel was in the works, saying it was based on internet speculation and not first-hand info.

That said, you would have to be a bit soft to bet against RE6.

Before leaving the company last October, Capcom R&D boss Keiji Inafune told a Spanish site that info would start coming “shortly” just before last year’s TGS.

The event passed without any official news on the game.

Douglas’s comment comes as Capcom dev boss Jun Takeuchi said this morning that the publisher would announce two new, original games by this summer.

Takeuchi, who was producer of the last main title released in the series, Resident Evil 5 in 2009, will play no part in the game’s production this time.

Capcom has sent word that those who preorder Lost Planet 2 through GameStop will be able to unlock Resident Evil’s Albert Wesker as an exclusive playable skin.

Also, preorders will net you additional firepower via a revolver which is sure to help you with those “one shot kills”.

Game’s out this winter on PS3 and Xbox 360.

New screens below the break.

During a Capcom panel at Comic-Con, Resident Evil 5 producer Masachika Kawata was asked if Albert Wesker would appear in more Resident Evil games considering Resident Evil 5 left you wondering for some reason.

Apparently, the answer is no.

“Even if you want Albert Wesker to come back there is no chance of that happening,” Kawata told the audience, reports Siliconera.

So after appearing in the original, Code Veronica, Zero, RE4 and RE5 (Darkside Chronicles technically doesn’t count) Wesker is no more.

But if there is one thing we have learned playing different videogames over the years, it’s that you can’t keep a good series villain down for long.

Right Ganon/Ganondorf?

DC Douglas, the actor who played Albert Wesker in Resident Evil 5, has told Destructoid that working on the game was as good as his gig on the NBC sitcom Boston Common.

When asked if games provide the same amount of prestige as TV and film, he readily agreed that it’s a medium that’s come of age.

“Are you kidding? I am getting just as much response from fans AND industry folks regarding RE5 as I did when I was a recurring on NBC’s Boston Common in the mid 1990s,” he said.

“VG has arrived. Now actors just have to get some residuals for our work like we do with films and TV.”

Funnily enough, he never mentioned if his small stint on the campy soap Passions caused the same stir.
