That concept was debunked shortly, however Boyle and producer Andrew Macdonald have each confirmed that whereas the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer star received’t seem in 28 Years Later, he’ll present up within the upcoming sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which may then feed into a 3rd, unconfirmed movie to wrap up the trilogy.
Not solely is Murphy an government producer on the primary 28 Years Later, Boyle has now informed IGN that Murphy’s look in The Bone Temple is supposed to arrange the third film.
“There’s a coda… it’s not a coda, it’s the epilogue or an finish theme on the finish of the primary movie [28 Years Later] that provides you a handover to the second movie,” the director mentioned. “Though every story completes itself, there’s a handover part to the following movie as properly. So it’s very formidable. We haven’t received the cash for the third one but. It would rely how the primary one does, I suppose. However hopefully if we do okay, they’ll give us the go-ahead for the cash and for the third one. All people’s standing by for that, actually. Together with Cillian.”
