28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)

Having finally seen the movie this summer, we now know that the zombie was just a random zombie and not Murphy’s Jim, and the actor has finally weighed in on the rumor that took the internet by storm last year. In an interview with The Observer, Murphy revealed that his son “made sure” to show him what people were saying about how much the zombie resembled him. “That’s great people think I look like a zombie cadaver,” he said sardonically. “It’s very flattering.” While Murphy did not appear in 28 Years Later, he did serve as an executive producer, and he will be appearing in a minor role in Nia DeCosta’s upcoming 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. He will also be returning for a larger role in the as-yet-untitled third installment in the sequel trilogy.Read it at The ObserverRead more at The Daily Beast.
