Cillian Murphy Won’t Appear in Horror Film ’28 Years Later’; confirms producer Andrew Macdonald – ThePrint – ANIFeed

Washington (US), January 10 (ANI): With fans speculating about Cillian Murphy’s return in the sequel to ’28 Days Later’ following the release of its trailer, film producer Andrew Macdonald has clarified that the Oscar-winning actor will not feature in the film. He will serve as the film’s executive producer.

According to a report by Deadline, although the “Peaky Blinder” actor is involved with the upcoming threesome as an executive producer, “28 Years Later” producer Andrew Macdonald recently clarified that Murphy “wanted to be involved” but will not appear in the first film.

“(In) this we wanted him to be involved and he wanted to be involved. He’s not in the first movie, but I hope Jim shows up somewhere along the way. He is currently involved as an executive producer and I hope we can collaborate with him in some way in the future on the trilogy.” said producer Andrew during an interview with Empire, as quoted by Deadline.

Following the trailer, an art dealer from the Danny Boyle-directed zombie series revealed that he was the artist in the shot, which was assumed to be Cillian Murphy in makeup. The film’s premiere is scheduled for June 20, 2025.

As reported on Deadline, Boyle admitted that he was warned that the casting choice could inspire a case of mistaken identity.

“I showed my girlfriend the trailer and she said, ‘People will think it’s Cillian. I said, “Don’t be stupid.” I ignored her. Since then, I’ve had some humble pie. Boyle said.

After nearly three decades, the long-awaited sequel to 28 Days Later, 28 Years Later, has revealed its first memorable trailer, sparking excitement among fans of the original post-apocalyptic zombie thriller.

Written by Alex Garland, the film heralds a return to the destructive world of the Rage virus.

The trailer sets a chilling tone, accompanied by a recording of Rudyard Kipling’s war poem “Boots”, which transports viewers to a desolate, post-apocalyptic England.

The trailer shows actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson traversing the country’s now green but ominous fields with bow and arrow in hand, suggesting a society trying to rebuild amid the rubble. (OR)
