^Agreed. In a way, it's very understandable why they went with this character, whoever he may be. He looks similar enough to warrant speculation, but different enough to notice the distinction, it's like the best of both worlds.
For the sake of argument, though, you could easily tie this to Chris' slight facial redesign and say they touched up Wesker's face as well to draw speculation as to who the villain is. I don't personally subscribe to this theory myself, but I can definitely see why someone might feel this way. It's not TOTALLY outside the realm of possibility especially after the Umbrella Corps spoilers.
