Speculations Rise as Trailers Tease Return of Cillian Murphy in 28 Years Later

Fans were intrigued by a recent trailer for the upcoming film, 28 Years Later, which features Aaron Taylor-Johnson alongside Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes. Cillian Murphy, known for his earlier role within the franchise, is additionally poised to generate an appearance, leading audiences to speculate about his involvement.

In one memorable scene from the trailer, a gaunt figure rises from the ground, prompting viewers to draw parallels between this character and Murphy. This speculation sparked discussions among fans wondering if Jim, Murphy's original character, had succumbed to the horror of becoming a zombie. However, it seems this interpretation is mistaken.

Reports indicate that the unsettling figure in the trailer is actually portrayed by art dealer Angus Neill, recognized for his unique appearance. Thus, it it seems that viewers will need to be patient until the film is fully released next year to see how Jim returns to the narrative.

Murphy initially captivated audiences in 28 Days Later, where he played a bike courier who awakens from a lengthy coma to discover a nation ravaged by a zombie outbreak. Although he did not reprise his role in the sequel, he has expressed excitement for his return in this upcoming installment. Below is the trailer showcasing the figure that had fans reeling with questions about Jim's destiny.
