As a devoted fan of Cillian Murphy and the 28 Days Later franchise, I must admit that I was thrilled to see his potential return as a zombie in the upcoming sequel, 28 Years Later. The trailer’s haunting images fueled my excitement, but alas, it seems my hopes may have been prematurely raised.

As a die-hard fan of horror films, I’ve been eagerly waiting for the chilling teaser of “28 Years Later,” directed by Danny Boyle. The trailer has fueled speculation about whether Cillian Murphy, who played a pivotal role in the original “28 Days Later,” is set to return to the franchise as a zombie. However, it appears that those hoping for Murphy’s return as a mindless creature may have their dreams dashed, according to someone on the movie’s production team.

The initial preview for the film titled “28 Years Later” showcased a heart-pounding montage of unsettling glimpses from the movie, featuring gruesome zombies charging down a slope, an ominous pile of skulls suggesting some grisly ceremony, and notoriously, a scene where a zombie emerges unexpectedly from a field behind Jodie Comer. While some fans speculate that the undead character could be Murphy, making a surprise appearance in the film, it remains unconfirmed and we may need to watch the movie to discover the true role of Murphy’s character.

Cillian Murphy Might Not Be A Zombie In 28 Years Later

A team member, identified as PJ on Twitter, asserted they worked on the set of the movie “28 Years Later” and claimed that Cillian Murphy is not the zombie depicted in the trailer. They stated this while working as a freelancer in Northumberland, where they witnessed the studio filming the zombie scene, confirming it was not actually Murphy. Instead, they revealed the figure on set was a local runner hired by the studio to play a zombie. Although internet opinions should generally be taken with a grain of salt until verified, this claim aligns with reports from NME and The Guardian that suggest the “zombie person” is Angus Neill, a model and art dealer who was talent-spotted by the director for his unique looks.

In the third installment of their zombie trilogy, titled “28 Years Later“, the narrative unfolds around a lethal rage virus that escaped from a biological weapons facility. Despite strict quarantine measures, a select few have miraculously endured amidst the rampaging infected. But when a band of these survivors decide to venture off their isolated island and head towards the mainland, they encounter both terrors and marvels. These transformations aren’t limited to the mutated infected alone; even other survivors undergo changes as well. The movie poster for “28 Years Later” before its trailer drop gave a chilling hint of the horrors and wonders awaiting viewers when it premieres, particularly with the ominous display of towering piles of skulls.

Under a $75 million budget, the upcoming film titled “28 Years Later” is notably produced using an iPhone. Featuring star-studded cast members like Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes, this production is slated for release on June 20, 2025.
