A brief scene from the latest trailer of the upcoming movie 28 Years Later, set to release on June 20, 2025, had fans buzzing with excitement when an emaciated zombie that they believed to be none other than Cillian Murphy—the star of 2002’s 28 Days Later—appeared on screen.
Fans’ theories were squashed, however, as the true identity of the creature surfaced earlier today (December 12). It’s not Murphy, but art dealer and model Angus Neill, who was personally cast by the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, for his striking appearance.
Neill’s gaunt features and fragile frame made him ideal for the role, a fact that he personally confirmed in an interview.
