And, of course, there’s the “family” within the Infected: the Alpha and the Infected woman who he’s impregnated. It’s a shocking new twist in the lore of the Infected, who have evolved beyond the corpses that fell to starvation in 28 Weeks Later. This cult will take on a more prominent part in the next film, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, directed by Nia DaCosta, Boyle says. Peter Mountain/Dna/20th Century Fox/Kobal/ShutterstockFans will have noticed that Cillian Murphy’s 28 Days Later protagonist does not appear in 28 Years Later. He was a producer on this film, 28 Years Later, and he begins to make an appearance in the second film.
