Director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting) revealed obscure particulars concerning the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer actor’s involvement to IGN. The upcoming trilogy expands on the world Boyle and Alex Garland (Civil Struggle) began with 28 Days Later and its star Cillian Murphy, with a brand new set of interconnected tales. Nonetheless, Murphy won’t seem within the first movie because it introduces a brand new central character: Spike, a 12-year-old boy portrayed by Alfie Williams whose household (led by Jodie Comer and Aaron Taylor-Johnson) finds itself within the thick of the post-apocalyptic zombie outbreak.
“Though every story completes itself, there’s a handover part to the following movie as effectively. So it’s very formidable. We haven’t acquired the cash for the third one but. It’ll rely how the primary one does, I assume,” Boyle shared and defined that Murphy’s return is contingent on how the primary two films do.
“However hopefully if we do okay, they’ll give us the go-ahead for the cash and for the third one. Everyone’s standing by for that, actually. Together with Cillian,” the director confirmed relating to Murphy’s participation.

“I’ve to say truthful play to [studio Sony Pictures]. They did enable us to take nice liberties with [28 Years Later]. They may have mentioned, ‘Oh no, it must be extra sequel-y. It’s good to depend on a number of the concepts which might be within the authentic. And what do you imply Cillian’s not going to seem within the first one? I assumed you mentioned Cillian was going to be in it.’ We mentioned, ‘Yeah, Cillian goes to be in it, however not fairly the primary one.’ So truthful play to them. They’ve put up with so much.”
