Garland has expressed a tentative vision for the third movie, stating, “We’ve got an idea, it’s good. It’s ambitious, so we’ll see.”
Cillian Murphy’s Potential Role
A major factor in the progress of a third film is the involvement of Cillian Murphy, who starred in the original 28 Days Later. Boyle has indicated that Murphy might make an appearance in 28 Years Later, potentially setting the stage for a larger role in the prospective third movie.
“Nia DaCosta gets a bit of Cillian at the end [of the second film],” Boyle said in an interview. “All I can say is you have to wait for Cillian, but hopefully he will help us get the third film financed.”
Boyle emphasized Murphy’s importance, stating, “If we get the money, cillian will obviously be a dominant factor in the third part of the film.”
