Sienne Guillory is offically Jill Valentine for 'Resident Evil: Retribution'

Although anyone who saw the after-credits scene in "Resident Evil: Afterlife" knew Jill Valentine was likely to return for the fifth film in the franchise, actress Sienna Guillory made it official today she will be the one playing her in the forthcoming "Resident Evil: Retribution."

'Retribution' will debut Sept. 14, 2012.
As ShockTillYouDrop.com first reported, Guillory posted on Twitter today: "Big day tomorrow! Meeting Paul Anderson and Jeremy Bolt and Robert Kultzer to see what my future looks like..."

She lated posted, confirming her involvement, "THANK YOU SO MUCH! RETRIBUTION HERE I COME!"

The actress hinted at her return in March, posting (again on Twitter), "RE:5 alert! Training begins! I aim to mostly put less in the big hole on the front of my face than comes out of the little one on my arse."

According to ShockTillYouDrop, however, her return was put in question when a report surfaced the actress was going to be replaced. Today's tweets, however, seem to have put the issue to bed.

Guillory starred as Jill Valentine in the second film, "Apocalypse," but didn't show up in the third film, and only returned in the after-credits sequence in "Afterlife." As I've stated before, hopefully her return will let us learn the fate of the young Angela (Sophie Vavasseur), who like Jill vanished sometime between the second and third films.

Screen Gems has set a Sept. 14, 2012, release date for "Retribution" and filming is expected to start later next month.
