Iconic since 2000! After 22 years, this star will return in an unforgettable and terrifying saga

After years of waiting, 28 years later – filming on the first part of the new trilogy, written by the original screenwriter Alex Garland – has finally begun. However, the casting of 28 Days Later star Cillian Murphy remains to be confirmed.

In early May, insider Jeff Snyder explained that Jimmy the Interpreter in Danny Boyle’s film will not be returning after 28 years to make way for other characters played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes. According to him, Cillian Murphy will make a cameo in Nia DaCosta’s film and will be at the center of the third opus. So we’ll have to wait a few years before we see Cillian Murphy trying to get out of the taint again.

The return of Cillian Murphy

But yesterday, during Charles Vidor’s presentation of Gilda at Cannes Classics, Sony Pictures producer Tom Rothman took to the mic. Deadline That Cillian Murphy will be Danny Boyle’s 28 years later in the casting.

The producer talks about Danny Boyle’s film: “I’ve made eight films with Danny Boyle, and I’m putting him in my pantheon of directors with his new trilogy, 28 Days. It’s been 28 years, but it’s by no means a direct sequel. The casting is excellent, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jodie Comer…”

It will be there, but in a surprising way that develops throughout the films.

After casting the Irish actor, who recently won an Oscar for his role in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, the producer adds:

“It will be there, but in an amazing way that develops over the course of the films. Danny is at his best. It’s a very commercial film. When a famous director directs a commercial film in your style, it elevates the project..”

Although we still do not know how Cillian Murphy will be featured in the film, so Jimmy’s interpreter must return after 28 years. Which seems logical since then Alex Garland Changed his “28 months later” to “28 years” to make the story believable.

Currently filming in the northern English county of Northumberland, the feature film is scheduled to hit theaters on June 18, 2025.

In Small Things Like These, which will soon be shown at the recent Berlin Film Festival, Cillian Murphy is expected to be on the set of Peaky Blinders in September, the sequel to the hit series in which he plays Thomas Shelby, a crime boss. .

He next stars as Jock Jablonski, a miner murdered by a corrupt union leader, in Blood Runs Coal, adapted by Mark A. From Bradley’s novel, which itself was inspired by a true story, and was later to star alongside Pierce Brosnan and Jamie Dornan in a Jim Sheridan film. Historical drama, H-Block.
