Since hardly any zombie franchises try exploring the long-term impact of an outbreak on society, 28 Years Later will redefine the genre by highlighting how humanity's perception surrounding morality and survival has evolved over the years. By unfolding several years after the outbreak, 28 Years Later can delve even deeper into new groups, factions, coups, and ideologies surrounding the infected that have emerged among the humans and how the emergence of these has triggered conflicts and alliances.

Cillian Murphy, too, agrees that the movie series' timeline should jump ahead to 28 Years Later and has even expressed his interest in returning by saying (via Collider) " If Alex thinks there’s a script in it and Danny wants to do it, I’d love to do it."Ģ8 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later only focused on the near-future aftermath of the Rage virus pandemic.
Considering how it takes only a few days for Jim to go through a rite of passage in 28 Days Later's dark post-apocalyptic world, a time jump of 2 decades would allow for an even more mature and seasoned version of the character, who has seen and endured a lot in his pursuit of survival. Since the world they live in is not the same anymore, it seems likely that they must have faced even bigger challenges after getting rescued.Ī sequel set years later after 28 Days Later could mark Cillian Murphy's return as Jim and highlight how living in the post-apocalyptic world has changed him over the years. While 28 Days Later has an optimistic ending where Jim, Selena, and Hannah get rescued, it is slightly ambiguous in the sense that it leaves a viewer wondering what might have happened to the trio later.

Jumping ahead in time would also leave room for the movie series to introduce new characters while reinstating old ones like Cillian Murphy's Jim, Naomie Harris' Selena, and Megan Burns' Hannah who audiences connected with after watching 28 Days Later. Not to mention, since more than 2 decades have passed since the release of 28 Days Later, the sequel's timeline would be better aligned with real-time if it unfolds 28 years after the first movie's events. This fresh narrative could be more in tandem with the elements of 28 Days Later, which would generate new interest among the audiences of the first movie. The fact that Alex Garland already has some good scripting ideas for 28 Years Later is great news for the movie series' future since the movie's time jump allows the story to ignore the pitfalls of 28 Weeks Laterīy skipping 28 Months Later, the movie series can completely avoid all the inconsistent story elements that ensued in 28 Weeks Later and focus on a fresh narrative. In an interview, Alex Garland said (via Inverse) that he avoided making another sequel for the movie series because 28 Weeks Later " bugged" him to a point where he would rather write " a different story in a different world." He also hinted that an idea for 28 Years Later had materialized in his head and Danny Boyle even liked the idea. Although chronologically 28 Months Later should have been the next addition to the movie series, 28 Years Later makes more sense.
