Cillian Murphy shared with The Observer that his part in “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” is relatively small. He clarified that he’s featured for a brief period but his presence in the second movie lays the groundwork for him to take on a key role in the anticipated third installment. Moreover, Murphy encouraged everyone to watch the second film, stating, “I’m convinced they will – it’s truly excellent.

Murphy didn’t make an appearance in “28 Weeks Later,” but he reprised his initial role as Jim from Danny Boyle’s “28 Days Later” in 2002. Director Nia DaCosta has already wrapped up filming for “The Bone Temple.” Set in the franchise’s timeline years after the Rage Virus outbreak, the movie will hit theaters in January 2026. It introduces new survivors while also bringing back a familiar character.

As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, let me share some exciting news about the upcoming trilogy that I’m eagerly anticipating. The legendary director Danny Boyle, who masterfully helmed the original installment, revealed an intriguing detail about the cast. To build momentum for the trilogy and potentially secure financing for the third film, Boyle strategically incorporated Daisy Ridley’s character into the mix in a way that will be significant. In his own words (as reported by Business Insider), he teased, “Daisy gets a taste of Cillian at the end. All I can say is, if you stick around for Cillian, hopefully his involvement will help us secure the funds for the third film.” Now, isn’t that enticing?

The director clarified, “Assuring Cillian Murphy helps divert any technical issues; he tends to forget about them quickly. Indeed, we deliberately employed this tactic to achieve our goals. Could there be a more compelling guarantee than that?

Murphy underscored the significance of the second film’s public reception, stating that the audience’s reaction would decide if the trilogy would proceed. He even suggested, “Everyone should make it a point to watch the second movie,” as his increased part in the third film was contingent on its success.

Twenty-Eight Years Later: The Bone Sanctuary stars Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, Erin Kellyman, and Chi Lewis-Parry. This film is set to premiere in cinemas on January 16, 2026. In this movie, the survivors encounter perils born out of human wickedness, making it clear that the infected are no longer the sole threat.
