Cillian Murphy Returns, Produces 28 Years Later Trilogy

Danny Boyle's new trilogy begins with '28 Years Later,' launching globally on June 20, 2025, and introduces a new central character, Spike, played by Alfie Williams. Cillian Murphy, star of the original, returns only in the second installment, '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,' set for 2026, and is expected to play a significant role in the potential third film, contingent on the performance of the first two movies. Murphy also serves as an executive producer, and his involvement was key to securing approval for unconventional filming techniques. Boyle and Alex Garland shot the first two films back-to-back, with each entry being self-contained yet interconnected. The trilogy expands the post-apocalyptic universe with fresh and returning characters, though details about other original cast members remain undisclosed. The narrative explores survivors facing new threats in a changed world, maintaining a loose connection to prior films.
