Cillian Murphy will star in 28 Years Later sequel on one condition

by

Providing everything proceeds smoothly, Cillian Murphy is expected to reappear in the upcoming third film of the 28 Days Later series, which is said to be the concluding part of the intended trilogy; however, as stated by Danny Boyle, this isn’t yet a certainty.

Initially, when the initial teaser for “28 Years Later” was released, many viewers believed they saw an undead character resembling Jim rise from a field. However, it turned out to be someone else (named Angus Neill), but this doesn’t imply that Murphy is not connected to the storyline in some way.

As a gamer diving headfirst into this exciting cinematic universe, I’m thrilled to be part of the team bringing you not just one but two upcoming projects: the original film and its sequel, aptly titled “Nia DaCosta’s 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.

According to my understanding, Murphy is set to reappear in the upcoming movie, though his role might be limited to setting up the plot for the potential third installment. That’s when things could potentially become intricate.

Cillian Murphy will be “dominant” in 28 Years Later sequel if it gets made

To put it plainly, for “28 Years Later” to move forward with a sequel, it must earn sufficient revenue in theaters to persuade Sony’s executives, particularly CEO Tom Rothman, to approve the production of the third film.

In the final scenes of “The Bone Temple”, Murphy is expected to make an appearance. However, his part in the story is significantly expanded for the upcoming third movie.

During an interview with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Boyle expressed: “Patience pays off. The best things happen to those who are patient.

A specific method for transitioning between films is used… While each movie can stand alone as a complete story, within them lies a sequence where new characters are introduced. This part occurs in the second movie.

According to Boyle’s statement to Business Insider, all he could reveal was that we should be patient for Cillian, and hopefully, his involvement will aid in securing funding for the third movie.

As a passionate fan, I can’t help but express my anticipation for the upcoming, unnamed third installment of the movie series. If the funding comes through, Cillian Murphy will undoubtedly play a significant role. However, as Alex Garland hints, the plot has been meticulously crafted, ensuring a coherent and engaging storyline. Here’s hoping for more updates from Sony soon!

“You know what it is, they’re just waiting to see what business it does, really.”

In simpler terms, during a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, producer Andrew Macdonald revealed that the character Spike (played by Alfie Williams) serves as the main connecting element throughout the entire trilogy.

“Well, it’s three films, a trilogy of films which have connecting characters.

He will proceed directly through the movies without any interruptions. We filmed the first two movies consecutively due to logistical considerations, scheduling issues related to the actors, and because it was beneficial for the narrative as well. In fact, they are seamlessly connected.

2025 finds me counting down the days to the big screen release of “28 Years Later” on June 19th. Dive into the film’s eerie ‘dark web’ hub for a chilling experience before hitting the theaters.
