Danny Boyle Explains What To Expect Of The Bone Temple, Sequel To 28 Years Later
Last Updated: 28 Years Later makers have already finished filming the sequel, The Bone Temple and it is expected to come out in 2026. Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, who gave us 28 Days Later over 20 years ago, are back with its sequel, 28 Years Later. The new zombie film is already getting positive reviews online and it's just the start of a fresh trilogy that promises even more excitement. The next part, called The Bone Temple, is ready and waiting to surprise audiences. The good news is that filming for this sequel is already done and is expected to come out in January 2026. So far, not much has been shared about the story of the next film. But a few cast members have already been confirmed for The Bone Temple. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O'Connell and Emma Laird will be part of the movie. One big surprise is that Cillian Murphy will return as Jim, the same character he played in 28 Days Later. In an earlier interview with Screen Rant, Danny Boyle shared that the 28 Years Later trilogy might not follow a single continuous storyline. Instead, each film will tell its own separate tale within the same world. The filmmaker said, 'It's spread over three films, ultimately, and each film would stand independently. But there'd be a bigger tale to tell, and it would be based on a family, and these two [points to Aaron and Jodie] would be the origin of the family. So, it's independent from the first film, but it's still the same apocalypse 28 years later as it was for Cillian Murphy in the first film and Naomie Harris. But this is 28 years later, and we don't know what's happened to them [Jim and Selena]. I'm not allowed to tell you, but these two are more than worthy stand-ins." As per the official synopsis of 28 Years Later, 'It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well." The movie stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O'Connell, Alfie Williams and Ralph Fiennes.

From Star Wars to Avengers Endgame: 7 costliest films ever made
Films where ambition met sky-high budgets to deliver pure cinematic spectacle. JJ Abrams revived a galaxy far, far away with the 2015 reboot that bridged generations. Returning icons like Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) met new heroes Rey, Finn, and villain Kylo Ren. The Force clearly needed deep pockets. Dino drama went mega-budget in this Chris Pratt-led sequel. With cutting-edge CGI and action-packed chaos, this 2018 film took prehistoric thrill to a pricey new level — but audiences couldn't look away. The grand finale of the Skywalker saga came with an epic budget. Resistance fighters, dark forces, and legacy heroes collided in this 2019 conclusion, starring Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac, and Mark Hamill. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley may have jumped ship, but Johnny Depp held the anchor. Paired with Penélope Cruz, this fourth installment banked on exotic visuals, mythical quests, and a mind-blowing budget. The Avengers reassembled for a second time to battle the rogue AI Ultron. This 2015 Marvel spectacle brought together Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, and more — with sky-high production costs to match the superpowers. Marvel's crown jewel. Endgame wasn't just a movie, it was a global moment. Iron Man's ultimate sacrifice, Thor's transformation, and the final stand against Thanos all played out in a production that left no expense spared — and no fan dry-eyed. James Cameron once again raised the stakes — and the budget — with this long-awaited sequel to Avatar. With groundbreaking underwater visuals and immersive world-building, the film went on to gross $2.3 billion globally, proving sometimes, big risks pay off bigger.
