’28 Years Later’ First Footage May Have Revealed the Shocking Fate of Cillian Murphy’s Character

by

As a die-hard fan of Cillian Murphy and the original “28 Days Later,” I must admit that the thought of seeing him as a zombie in the sequel leaves me with a mix of emotions. On one hand, I’m excited about the prospect of this unexpected twist, given my appreciation for Murphy’s acting prowess and his ability to bring depth to even the most gruesome characters.

How might humanity evolve in the future, or more urgently, what is the current state of the protagonist from the movie “28 Days Later”? With the unveiling of the first trailer for the upcoming sequel, there’s speculation among fans that the character Murphy could make a comeback, and it seems quite surprising if true.

Although it’s been confirmed that Murphy will once again play Jim, a bicycle messenger who wakes up from a coma in a post-apocalyptic world, surprisingly, his name is missing from the latest posters and cast lists, even though footage of him is included. The explanation for this could be quite terrifying.

Viewers on social media have pointed out an unusually thin undead character resembling Cillian Murphy at the end of the trailer. The resemblance is striking, especially the distinctive cheekbones. While details about Murphy’s role are scarce, executive producer Tom Rothman hinted that the actor from “28 Days Later” would return in an unexpected manner, and his character’s transformation into a zombie would certainly fit that description.

Would They Really Do This to Cillian Murphy’s ’28 Days Later’ Hero?

Could there be something more to it? Is it plausible that this Cillian Murphy-like character might just be a red herring? Images from filming suggest that the actor appears more human-like, but despite his role as an executive producer, he seemed more suited for the post-apocalyptic setting than a visit to the set.

As a passionate film enthusiast, I can’t help but share my thoughts on the intriguing glimpse of Cillian Murphy in the chilling trailer for “28 Years Later.” Fans across social media platforms, such as @LFAFSTYLE, have expressed their apprehensions: “I had a feeling it was him, let’s hope it’s just a trick of the eye.” On the other hand, @Oliver_Demari proposes an interesting theory: “This is going to be a dream sequence; I’m certain about it.” Meanwhile, die-hard fan @NEPatriotsBoy echoes the sentiments of many who have loved the original movie, expressing his confusion and disappointment if this turn of events is indeed true: “I thought he was still alive? What on earth?! That’s disheartening for fans of the first film.

Under the direction of Danny Boyle, who collaborated with Alex Garland on the script, the film titled “28 Years Later” features a stellar cast including Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Erin Kellyman, and Edvin Ryding. Alongside the initial glimpses of “28 Years Later“, we now have an official plot summary, which you can read below.
