Danny Boyle recently revealed some fresh insights into Cillian Murphy’s character in the upcoming 28 Days Later trilogy.
28 Years After will hit U.S. cinemas this weekend. This is a continuation of the films from 2002 (28 Days Later) and 2007 (28 Weeks Later). The new movie features Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, and other talented actors.
28 Years Afterward marks the beginning of a fresh trilogy in cinema. Following this, “28 Years Afterward: The Skull Sanctuary,” directed by Candyman and Marvel’s Nia DaCosta, has been completed and is slated for release next year.
What did Danny Boyle say about 28 Years Later?
During an interview with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Boyle revealed details about the part Jim (previously played by Murphy in 28 Days Later) will play in the upcoming trilogy. Earlier, Boyle had confirmed that Murphy would appear in the second and third movies, but the extent of his role in the films was unclear until now.
Boyle expressed to you that patience often leads to good outcomes, similar to the positive aspects of Cillian. Just like each movie stands independently, yet they also connect through a process, known as handover. This technique is employed by Horowitz, where characters are introduced in a sequence, which he’s observed, starting from the second film.
He stated, “If we secure the funds, undoubtedly, Cillian will play a significant role in the latter portion of the movie.
Based on Boyle’s remarks, it seems that Murphy might not show up until the closing scenes of “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,” set for release on January 16, 2026. In the subsequent, yet-to-be-named film, he could assume a major role, potentially becoming either the protagonist or a key character.
28 Years Later hits United States theaters on June 20, 2025.
