If Resident Evil 8 was announced to have forced co-op again, who would you want as the two leads?

Honestly wouldn't give a shit about which characters it were. Forced co-op partner again in a main RE game would make me to mad to care.
If it were a spin-off with no impact on a mainline RE game's development, I'd probably like to see Jill and Rebecca. Could be a cool experience vs inexperience dynamic, and it'd be cool to have women as both protagonists

I want to see a Mercenaries Reunion in a new game that stars all the One-hit Wonder partners in the series, like Sheva, Helena, Sherry, Jake, Parker, Moira, Hell, even Carlos! all these cool characters that only got one shot so far, and more!
Sherry and Jake.
Also, have no conflict or monsters whatsoever. Just give me the cutest and most heartwarming romance story in videogame history.
Or, alternatively, Sheva and Jill.
I love Chris and Leon but we saw them plenty already. Sheva has shown so much potential and we need to see that fully realized. Plus you can throw Jill in there for the nostalgia, it's been a while since she's been the protagonist in a mainline entry.

I just voted for Chris and Other. I doubt we're going to see Jill or any RE2 protagonists in RE8.
Jill and somebody else.
If this was 2009 I'd say Chris, but now? I wish to see Jill and Leon together, or Jill and Ada.

Two newbies who are in over their heads. One player focuses entirely on protecting the other and moving around heavy objects, the other has a means to weaken foes (such as an UV flashlight or some other conventional tool) so the other can do bonus damage, and is more limber, able to climb up to areas inaccessible to the other player.
No returning characters. There isn't a single main protagonist in the Resident Evil series who isn't a hardened badass by the end of their game. If they're a recurring protagonist, then they're even more ridiculous. Return to the RE7 style, where instead of some hardened counter-BOW operative or series veteran, it's a green, terrified, unprepared person who either brought the horror on themselves (RE7), or found themselves in that situation unwittingly (RE2).

I actually think if they were to do it again they'd do it similar to DMC's where if it's a section where other characters show up, they're either played as AI when offline, people or ghost data of that person like DMC does it. And in DMC they're not all in the same area as you, so you could have stuff like the end of RE6 where iirc Sherry and Jake could provide cover from high-up for Chris and Piers during one of their segments. Just make it seamless instead of opt-in like it was in RE6 and it's golden. Completely unintrusive like DMC is the way to go. Single characters, but just segments where others show up occasionally like DMC.
Really hope they do the swapping between characters around like DMCV since it could provide a nice shakeup for a modern new third person RE and not feeling totally disconnected by having to go back into a menu like in RE6.

Any combination of Jill, Claire and Leon. I would LOVE to see Sheva return as well from the stable of less popular characters.
Jake and Leon if you have to bring back returning folks.
Otherwise brand new characters like 7.

Leon and Chris. Just an entire game of Chrisposting, although it couldn't even pretend to be a horror game with those two as the leads.
Alternatively, Jill and Claire could be fun, and they meet up with Sheva along the way.
Finally, newbie and newbie.
