First Poster For 28 Years Later Exposes Movie’s Post-apocalyptic Horror Vibe

by

As a diehard fan who has been eagerly waiting for the return of the “28 Days Later” franchise since its pulse-pounding conclusion back in 2002, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming sequel, “28 Years Later.” The long wait has been worth it, with Danny Boyle and Alex Garland teaming up once again to deliver a post-apocalyptic horror that promises to be as chilling as it is captivating.

2025 marks the unveiling of Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s chilling post-apocalyptic horror sequel to the classic “28 Days Later,” titled “28 Years Later.” The anticipation is palpable as a gritty, spine-tingling teaser poster has been released. As a longtime fan, I can hardly wait for this thrilling continuation of the franchise, introducing new characters to carry on the storyline. In 2002, Cillian Murphy brought Jim, a bicycle messenger, to life in a world where a highly contagious and violent virus had turned society upside down, leaving him to awaken from a coma in an eerily empty hospital. Now, I’m eagerly counting the years until this terrifying tale resumes!

As a devoted gamer diving into the creative world of storytelling, I find myself standing on the shoulders of giants like George A. Romero, whose “Night of the Living Dead” series and the 1951 book “The Day of the Triffids” were foundational influences for my work on the 2002 film, “28 Days Later.” However, in an intriguing twist revealed during a past interview, I admitted to drawing inspiration from another movie titled “Kes” while penning the script for “28 Years Later.” Kes offers a raw portrayal of human nature, centering around a 15-year-old boy who’s lost faith in the world. This unique connection between “Kes” and my upcoming zombie film with Danny Boyle will undoubtedly spark curiosity among viewers.

28 Years Later Poster And Release Date Unveiled

Sony has revealed the very first teaser poster for the movie titled “28 Years Later“, and it’s both hauntingly beautiful and brutal. The poster features a foreboding dark crimson backdrop adorned with a large, vibrant red biohazard symbol constructed from countless tiny skulls. To make the first poster of the movie truly eye-catching, it also carries the tagline “Time Brought No Healing,” hinting at the chilling scenes that await viewers after the conclusion of “28 Days Later“. At the top of the poster, you’ll find the names of Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes, but there is no mention of Cillian Murphy, despite his confirmation for the film. Curiously, Charlie Hunnam does not appear on the poster either, perhaps to keep fans guessing even longer.

As of now, it appears that only Cillian Murphy, reprising his role as Jim, is confirmed to return from “28 Days Later.” Imogen Poots, who played Tammy and missed the Rage Virus due to being in Spain on a school trip, has expressed interest in returning to her character. Additionally, Jodie Comer, known for “Killing Eve” and “Alone in the Dark,” is set to join the cast of “28 Years Later,” though her character remains undisclosed. Comer has been studying clips of Cheryl Cole to perfect the Newcastle accent for the film. Given her talent for mastering dialects, it’s likely that she will deliver an impressive performance in whatever role she takes on in the upcoming post-apocalyptic horror.

Looking forward, it’s likely that we’ll see a formal trailer soon after the debut of the first poster for the movie “28 Years Later,” providing a more distinct view of what lies ahead for viewers. Fortunately, the poster unveiling did confirm the release date, which is June 20, 2025. Despite some plot details being shared earlier this year, this news about the upcoming film in the post-apocalyptic horror series has been eagerly awaited by fans who have been waiting 17 years for a new movie in the franchise.
