For a long time, fans of 28 Days Later have held out hope for a third movie. To their surprise, Sony suddenly threw those fans a bone with the announcement 28 Years Later was happening, and what’s more, the first film’s creative duo of Danny Boyle and Alex Garland were returning to the zombie saga they began in 2002.
With each trailer and peek at the film, Years has looked better and scarier. Reactions may have come surprisingly late—shortly before its release in theaters, weirdly—but despite that, they’ve been mostly high. Even those that don’t really think the film works have given props to the cast and the filmmaking techniques used to show off the new suite of infected Garland and Boyle have cooked up. Sony’s already got eyes on making at least two more 28 Years Later films, and a sequel, The Bone Temple, is arriving in January 2026. If Boyle and Garland have their way, those plans will involve bringing Cillian Murphy back as 28 Days’ Jim for the hopeful third film.
For now, we want to know what you thought of the first 28 Years Later chapter. Loved it, hated it, have thoughts on its ending—discuss amongst yourselves in the comments below.
