The Marvels director Nia DaCosta might be gearing up for a horror comeback. The filmmaker, who previously helmed the Jordan Peele-produced Candyman reboot back in 2021, is being eyed to direct the second chapter of Sony's upcoming 28 Days Later spin-off series.
Having written the script with Civil War's Alex Garland, Danny Boyle is lined up to helm 28 Years Later, the first film in a new trilogy based on the iconic franchise, of which he helped launch. According to Deadline, Boyle, Garland, Andrew Macdonald, Bernie Bellow, and Peter Rice will produce the follow-up flick, while Oppenheimer's Cillian Murphy, who played 28 Days Later's protagonist Jim, will executive produce.
