William Levy finally revealed on Sept. 19 that "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" is the secret film project he's been teasing fans with over the last week.

The actor, who is known for his work in telenovelas, took to his Instagram account to reveal that he has a role in the final installment of the "Resident Evil" film franchise.

Levy posted several photos from the set of the upcoming film and revealed the news with a post that showed off part of his costume for the film, which included a leather jacket with a skull and a sword slung on his back.

The star made the revelation when he captioned the photo, "Good morning World from #southafrica..This was yesterday at my first day shooting #residentevilthefinalchapter love you all!!"

The 35-year-old Cuban star later reposted a photo of him and two of his costars, and another of him and actress Ali Larter in costume on set, which Larter originally shared on her Instagram account.

According to Deadline, the film will pick up where the last instalment "Resident Evil: Retribution" left off. It will follow the cast as they help Alice (Milla Jovovich) fight the Red Queen and work on taking down the evil Umbrella Corporation.

The action film, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, also stars Larter as Claire Redfield and Iain Glen as Dr. Isaacs, and Shawn Roberts will be returning as Albert Wesker.

The film began shooting recently in South Africa and, according to Cinemablend, is set to be released in theaters January 2017.
