Cillian Murphy recently addressed a rumor regarding an emaciated zombie in the trailer for "28 Years Later" that many fans mistakenly thought was him. While Murphy has gained attention for his weight loss in recent roles, the actual zombie was portrayed by Angus Neill, an art dealer and model. In an interview, Murphy expressed indifference toward the misconception but acknowledged that his son informed him about it. Although Murphy will have a minor role in the sequel titled "The Bone Temple," he noted that his character, Jim, will play a larger part in the third installment of the planned trilogy, contingent on the success of the second film. The trailer for "The Bone Temple" promises thrilling developments as Ralph Fiennes’ character navigates post-apocalyptic challenges.

Was Cillian Murphy actually in the "28 Years Later" trailer?

No, Cillian Murphy was not in the "28 Years Later" trailer. The emaciated zombie that fans speculated to be him was played by Angus Neill, not Murphy himself.

The "28 Days Later" franchise, which began in 2002, is notable for redefining the zombie genre with its fast-paced infected and intense social commentary. The original film directed by Danny Boyle has garnered acclaim for its storytelling and cinematography. With "28 Years Later" performing well at the box office and receiving positive reviews, anticipation is high for "The Bone Temple" and its exploration of continuing themes within the hauntingly dystopian landscape first introduced in the original film.
