28 Years Later Part 3 'Will Get Made,' Danny Boyle Insists — and Cillian Murphy Will Be in It 'A Lot'
Boyle said Alex Garland has written a very good script and that the sequel will include a lot of Cillian Murphy.
- On Wednesday, Director Danny Boyle confirmed that a third film in the 28 Years Later trilogy will be produced, with Cillian Murphy set to reprise his starring role.
- Screenwriter Alex Garland has completed a script Boyle described as "very good," following the January 2026 release of The Bone Temple, which earned $58.5 million worldwide.
- The upcoming film is expected to integrate characters from previous entries, including Murphy's character, Jim, whom Boyle previously described as an "enormous character" in the franchise.
- Despite Boyle's optimism, Sony has yet to officially greenlight the production, though Boyle insisted the movie "will get made because people keep asking about it."
- Beyond the zombie horror franchise, Boyle recently weighed in on the Bond series, suggesting that Jack O'Connell should be cast as the next titular spy.
