After the somewhat unfortunate “28 Weeks Later”, director Danny Boyle, together with screenwriter Alex Garland, now brings his own sequel, which ideally should result in a trilogy. A second film has already been turned off, starts in January 2026 (“28 Years Later: The Bone Temple”).
But what about Cillian Murphy? The actor, who was as a mega star with “Oppenheimer”, indicated in advance that a return of his character would definitely greet. However, he cannot be seen in “28 Years Later” (since Thursday, June 19). The film has other stars (UA Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes and Jodie Comer).
