After The Bone Temple debuts to strong reactions, a third 28 Years Later movie is officially in the works with Cillian Murphy in talks to return

Ralph Fiennes as Dr. Kelson in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.

After 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple debuted to rave reactions from critics earlier this week, a third movie is officially in the works – and 28 Days Later star Cillian Murphy is in talks to return.

According to Deadline, Alex Garland will return to pen the script, but the sequel doesn't have a confirmed title or director yet. A trilogy was always planned, but Sony opted to shoot the first two movies back-to-back and waited to greenlight the third movie. Danny Boyle was in the director's chair for 28 Years Later, but Nia DaCosta took over to helm The Bone Temple. Boyle has previously voiced hopes to return for round three.
