Cillian Murphy will return to his role in the sequel to the cult zombie horror “28 Days Later”

Officially, actor Cillian Murphy will reprise his role as Jim in the follow-up to 28 Days Later. Tom Rothman, the chairman of Sony Motion Pictures, confirmed this to Deadline.

He claims that the character will develop personally and that the hero’s comeback would happen in a “amazing way”. The director Danny Boyle, who returned to oversee the sequel after directing the original picture in 2002, is the only person the studio is counting on for this. While describing the project as “risky,” Tom Rothman pointed out that the industry needs more movies like these.

In January of this year, the film “28 Days Later” sequel was revealed. Recently, it was revealed that Ralph Fiennes, star of Harry Potter, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson have joined the cast.
