Cillian Murphy will return in the new “28 Weeks Later” trilogy, but fans have to wait a bit.
While talking with IGN, director Danny Boyle revealed Murphy – who played Jim in “28 Days Later” way back in 2002 – would be at the end of “28 Days Later: The Bone Temple” releasing early in 2026 rather than in the first film in the trilogy dropping in June.
“He is in the second one,” Boyle said. “I shouldn’t give away too much. I’ll get killed.”
Boyle – who also directed Murphy in “28 Days Later” – worked with writer Alex Garland on a planned trilogy reboot of the zombie franchise. The first two films in the trilogy were shot back-to-back with Boyle’s “28 Years Later” dropping in June and the follow-up “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” directed by Nia DaCosta coming in 2026. The final film in the trilogy has not been financed yet…
