When the primary trailer for Danny Boyle’s long-awaited 28 Years Later debuted final December, there was an “contaminated” one that regarded simply sufficient like Cillian Murphy to have us questioning about his character’s destiny from the primary film within the collection, 28 Days Later. That principle was debunked rapidly, however Boyle and producer Andrew Macdonald have each confirmed that whereas the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer star gained’t seem in 28 Years Later, he’ll present up within the upcoming sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which might then feed into a 3rd, unconfirmed movie to wrap up the trilogy.
Not solely is Murphy an government producer on the primary 28 Years Later, Boyle has now instructed IGN that Murphy’s look in The Bone Temple is supposed to arrange the third film.
“There’s a coda… it’s not a coda, it’s the epilogue or an finish theme on the finish of the primary movie [28 Years Later] that provides you a handover to the second movie,” the director stated. “Though every story completes itself, there’s a handover part to the following movie as effectively. So it’s very bold. We haven’t obtained the cash for the third one but. It can rely how the primary one does, I assume. However hopefully if we do okay, they’ll give us the go-ahead for the cash and for the third one. Everyone’s standing by for that, actually. Together with Cillian.”

Given the way in which Murphy has damaged out in recent times, one hopes that the cash wouldn’t be too massive an impediment. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple premieres in January 2026, and Murphy may even quickly be seen in a brand new Peaky Blinders film for Netflix.
