28 Years Later 3 is officially happening, but what characters are even still alive to come back for a third movie?
, it came not only with the promise of bringing back writer Alex Garland and director Danny Boyle but also with more than just one movie. The long-awaited sequel to the classic 2003 zombie movie wasn’t going to be birthed as a one-and-done follow-up; an entire trilogy of sequels was being planned.
Now, here we are, two years after that initial announcement, with two of the three movies officially released and the hype for the third movie already at a high.…what characters will even appear in it? With four movies in the series now released, the list of people who didn’t make it out of the films alive would be much, much longer. The good news is that this means there’s a pretty shallow pool of returning cast members to pick from with the movie, so few that we can literally name them all here. It begs a second question, though: how many of them will even return? Naturally,. We already knew before that appearance that Murphy would be back for the third film in a major role, but his scene inset the stage for a very specific kind of character that has gone through a lot of growth . Even with how belovedis, who would have guessed that Jim was a scholar of WWII history? Not only that, but he’s a chap still eager to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.confirmed that Jim wasn’t the only one who made it out alive, with Naomi Harris’ Selena still alive and kicking at the end as well. A spitfire and a fighter, Selena’s tenacity and resilience made her one of the best horror heroines of the 2000s, and we’re eager to see her return. Though she’s not seen in the final scene ofis Hannah, who is seen with Jim and Selena in their cottage at the end of the film. Once again,does not make it clear if she’s still around, but the character could easily be back, having never died on screen . One complication is that star Megan Burns has seemingly pivoted to her music career and is no longer an actress, though perhaps she’ll make an exception for a return to her most notable role.is marginally pessimistic compared to the other films in the series, lingering on European-wide sequel bait that was quickly hand-waved away by. That said, two of the biggest characters from the film, Tammy and Andy, clearly survived. The slight complication to their inclusion is that Weeks played with the idea of immunity to the Rage virus, with the pair’s mother not susceptible to the virus, which is something that Years seems less interested in after Dr. Kelson appeared to have found a cure. There’s also the complication that the team behind, Jamie is in disbelief, his wife has died, and his only son has run away. He’s trapped in the community that he previously expressed so much affection for, with all of the things that kept him grounded gone. It’s a heartbreaking final moment, one that puts the character on a path toward a reunion with his son and perhaps the outside world in a major way.films has been about Spike’s own journey. Alfie Williams’ new character has been the beating heart of the two films so far, as a result, and given the ending offilm with Baby Isla. An infant born to parents infected with the rage virus, who seemingly has no infection herself and is potentially immune, Isla has one of the most distinct developments in terms of the entire world of 28 Years Later. The baby is also named for Spike’s deceased mother, giving her a unique place in Jamie’s life in addition to her larger standing in the entire universe., the community in Holy Island is still standing, and along with it a host of other survivors who could return. Among them are characters like Sam, the old family friend of Jamie and Spike, or Jenny, one of the leadership council members, and, naturally, Rosey, the woman that Jamie was having an affair with in secret. Given the developments at the end of that film, it’s unclear if Jamie and Rosey will have figured things out on a more official basis.Having survived the cruel tutelage of Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal, Jimmy Ink throws off her platinum blonde wig at the end ofand reclaims her original name, Kelly. Together with Spike, she runs off to parts unknown, seemingly to be saved by Jim after the events of the film. One main reason we need to see Kelly return for the third film is that she’s just spent an untold amount of time in subservience to a violent maniac who called himself Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal and named all of his acolytes “Jimmy,” meaning we are desperate to see her face when her savior reveals himself to be named, “Jim.”. The hulking brute from the first film is given depth and dimension, with an actual arc at his disposal. By the end of the film he’s had his Rage Virus cured, and is cognizant enough to not only remember his life as a child before the infection but major details that he learned even while infected . A former Alpha cured of his Rage is a major wrinkle for the entire franchise, so his story is far from complete.as the film also reveals he has a daughter, Sam, played by newcomer Maiya Eastmond. Sam’s appearance seems to indicate that Jim and Selena had a daughter at some point after the first film, in addition to perhaps implying that they never got rescued after the first movie.and her implied place in the third film is how she will immediately stand in opposition to Spike, not in terms of their beliefs in the world, but in quite literally how they were raised. Sam appears to have been given as normal a life as possible, by the standards of two parents who were in their late 20s in the early 2000s and have been confined to a post-apocalyptic UK, which stands pretty opposite of Spike’s life on Holy Island, which has returned to a tribal mentality with duties assigned to people based on their strengths. Not only that, Sam has an understanding of the world at large, which Spike is nearly clueless about, save an encounter with Swedish soldiers. 11 Years Later, the MCU May Finally Have Its Replacement for Tony Stark & Bruce Banner’s Science BrosThe Most Exciting Animated Movie of 2026 Finally Gets a Release Date Get access to exclusive stories on new releases, movies, shows, comics, anime, games and more! 13 Years Ago, the 100th Episode of This Sci-fi Masterpiece Wrapped Up Its Five Season Story Perfectly
