Danny Boyle is confirming that Cillian Murphy will be in the upcoming 28 Years Later sequel.
Cillian played Jim in 28 Days Later in 2002 but was absent from its 2007 sequel. This left fans wondering if he would be reprising his role for 2025′s 28 Years Later.
Even though it was revealed he wouldn’t be part of the movie, Danny revealed in an interview with IGN that the 49-year-old actor hasn’t left the horror franchise for good.

28 Years Later will be hitting theaters on June 20 and will be the start of a new trilogy of horror movies in the same universe. According to Danny, Cillian will be appearing in the upcoming sequel, The Bone Temple.
“All I can say is you have to wait for Cillian, but hopefully he will help us get the third film financed,” the director said and joked that he couldn’t reveal too much about the upcoming movie just yet or he would “get killed.”
“Although each story [in the trilogy] completes itself, there’s a handover section to the next film as well. So it’s very ambitious,” Danny went on to tell IGN about his plans for the future films. He went on to say that they’re all waiting to be given approval by the studio to work on the next film in the trilogy. “Everybody’s standing by for that, really. Including Cillian.”
Last year, Cillian wrapped filming on the Peaky Blinders movie being produced by Netflix.
