Cillian Murphy, the Oscar-winning actor, has left fans speculating about his fate in the highly anticipated teaser for “28 Years Later,” the upcoming sequel to the horror films “28 Days Later” (2002) and “28 Weeks Later” (2007). The teaser offers a glimpse into the world of the new film, which is set to be released next summer.
In “28 Days Later,” Murphy’s character, Jim, a bike courier, defied the odds and survived an apocalypse in a world overrun by zombies. In the teaser for “28 Years Later,” we see Murphy’s weathered appearance behind Jodie Comer’s character in a field, leaving fans wondering if he will make a return in the new film.
Despite Murphy being listed as an executive producer on Sony Pictures’ website, his name is not featured on the posters for the new film. However, fans remain hopeful that he will reprise his role in the upcoming sequel.
The trailer for “28 Years Later” introduces us to a new cast of characters, including Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes, as they face off against hordes of zombies. The film is set roughly three decades after the events of the previous film, where a “rage virus” escapes from a biological weapons lab, infecting humans and plunging the world into chaos.
The third film in the series follows a group of survivors who have isolated themselves on a remote island to avoid infection. When one of them sets out on a journey to the mainland, they uncover terrifying secrets that have transformed survivors and infected individuals alike. The film’s tagline, “Time didn’t heal anything,” hints at the continued horrors facing the characters in this post-apocalyptic world.
The teaser for “28 Years Later” opens with a scene of children watching Teletubbies on an ancient TV, set to the innocuous yet menacing theme music of the children’s show. As the chaos unfolds, we see glimpses of battle scenes and eerie imagery, set against the backdrop of Rudyard Kipling’s Boots, a war poem that adds to the suspense and tension of the trailer.
The camera then pans to a remote island, where we see wooden crosses and prayer beads in the aftermath of destruction. Mysterious messages, such as “Behold he is coming with the clouds” and “Jimmy,” are scrawled in white paint on a farmhouse, raising questions about Murphy’s character and his potential role in the film.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s character navigates through green pastures with a bow and arrow, hinting at the dangers that lie ahead. A chilling sight of a clearing filled with skulls sets the stage for the appearance of a zombie-like figure, possibly Murphy’s character, adding to the suspense and mystery surrounding the film.
As fans eagerly await the release of “28 Years Later” on June 20, speculations and theories about the fate of Cillian Murphy’s character continue to swirl online. With a talented cast and a gripping storyline, the sequel promises to deliver a thrilling and suspenseful continuation of the beloved horror franchise.
