Cillian Murphy's legacy in the zombie genre continues as he returns as Jim in the upcoming sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which premieres on January 16, 2026. Directed by Nia DaCosta, this film follows 28 Years Later, releasing on June 20, 2025. While Boyle is optimistic about possibly directing a third movie, its realization awaits the performance of the first installment. Murphy's involvement as an executive producer signifies his commitment, but Boyle's absence raises questions about aligning the creative forces from the original 28 Days Later.
"He is in the second one," Boyle said. "I shouldn't give away too much." While Murphy is returning for The Bone Temple, Boyle is not, although he remains optimistic that he could direct a third movie.
"Although each story completes itself, there's a handover section to the next film as well," he said. "So it's very ambitious. We haven't got the money for the third one yet."
