'28 Years Later' teaser poster drops! Cillian Murphy's zombie apocalypse sequel to release on...

In an exciting development, a teaser poster of '28 Years Later' was dropped on Friday. It is a sequel to post-apocalyptic horrors '28 Days Later' and '28 Weeks Later'. '28 Years Later' will hit theatres in the United Kingdom on June 20, 2025, English media reports said.

Cillian Murphy will return to the franchise alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Erin Kellyman, and Edvin Ryding, reports suggest.

The first look poster of the movie carried the tagline "Time didn't heal anything" against a backdrop of skulls in the shape of a biohazard symbol.

The Danny Boyle directorial is often regarded as one of 'the best zombie films ever made'. The third movie of the series is being released 17 years after the previous one hit screens. 

'28 Weeks Later', released in 2007, presented a different set of characters from '28 Days Later' which came out in 2002. While Boyle directed the opening sequence, the rest of the film was under the direction of Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. 

According to reports, '28 Years Later' will follow a young boy in the north of England who is trying to save his mother from obvious horrors.

Since the prequels followed two different storylines, Cillian Murphy's presence in the upcoming movie couldn't be confirmed. However, Sony Motion Pictures Group chairman Tom Rothman told a media that the 'Peaky Blinders star will feature in the movie in a "surprising way." 

Rothman also used the opportunity to praise Danny Boyle's craft. "Yes, but in a surprising way (Murphy's role in the movie) and in a way that grows, let me put it that way... This is Danny (Boyle) at his best, combined with a very commercial genre, like we had with Edgar Wright and Baby Driver. Sometimes when you put a real signature director into a commercial arena, it elevates it," Tom Rothman reportedly said.
