The upcoming post-apocalyptic film '28 Years Later' is expanding its universe with a cast that includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes, while the involvement of Cillian Murphy is still up in the air. This third installment, written by Alex Garland and directed by Danny Boyle, has sparked excitement with its A-list roster and potential link to the previous films in the series. '28 Days Later' and its sequel '28 Weeks Later' found success with their intense, virus-driven storylines, and fans anticipate a similar thrilling narrative despite the time lapse in the new title.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is a British actor known for his roles in 'Kick-Ass', 'Avengers: Age of Ultron', and more recently, 'Bullet Train'. His diverse performances and rising profile in Hollywood have led to speculation about him being a candidate to take on the iconic role of James Bond in the future.

What connection does '28 Years Later' have with the original films?

'28 Years Later' is the third film in the '28 Days Later' series, directly following '28 Weeks Later'. The series is known for its depiction of a post-apocalyptic Britain after the outbreak of a rage-inducing virus. The original film, released in 2002, was a critical and commercial success, known for revitalizing the zombie genre with its gritty realism and fast-paced infected humans.
