Cillian Murphy expresses enthusiasm to return for another installment in the 28 Days Later franchise, despite the recent film 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple struggling at the box office. While the previous film saw financial success, its sequel failed to recoup its estimated $63 million production budget. As conversations around a potential sixth entry continue, Murphy remains optimistic about the series' future. In the meantime, he is set to appear in the upcoming Netflix movie Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, although he has denied rumors about portraying Voldemort in the HBO Harry Potter series.

Will there be a sixth film in the 28 Days Later franchise?

The future of a sixth film remains uncertain, yet Cillian Murphy has shared his eagerness to participate if it moves forward, indicating that he is ready for another role in the series.

The 28 Days Later franchise began with the iconic 2002 film directed by Danny Boyle, known for revitalizing the zombie genre. Following the success of the original, the franchise expanded with sequels like 28 Weeks Later and 28 Years Later, establishing a unique post-apocalyptic narrative that resonated with audiences. The recent film sought to bridge a gap and lay the groundwork for a new trilogy, although its disappointing box office performance raises questions about future installments.
