Why Cillian Murphy won’t be in Danny Boyle’s horror sequel 28 Years Later ‘He wanted to be involved,’ movie’s producer said.
The producer of 28 Years Later has categorically confirmed Cillian Murphy won’t be in the new film.
However, it seems Murphy’s character, Jim, might be in a future instalment, with two more set to follow 28 Years Later.
Speculation has been rife over whether the Oppenheimer star would be reprising the role he first played in Danny Boyle’s 2002 post-apocalypse horror 28 Days Later.
The second film in the trilogy of sequels, subtitled The Bone Temple, will be released in January 2026, just seven months after 28 Years Later hits cinemas.
