"28 Years Later" is the long-gestating sequel to Danny Boyle's "28 Days Later."
Aaron Taylor-Johnson leads the film alongside newcomer Alfie Williams.
Here's where you might recognize the rest of the cast from.
"28 Years Later" brings the terrifying Rage virus back to the big screen as director Danny Boyle returns to examine postapocalyptic Britain once more.
It's the third film in the franchise following 2007's "28 Weeks Later" and is released on June 20. It picks up decades after the initial outbreak turned the British population into bloodthirsty, sprinting zombies.
"28 Years Later" revolves around the inhabitants of Lindisfarne, an island off the coast of Northumberland. The tide cuts Lindisfarne off from the mainland most of the time, keeping it safe from the infected.
Things get bloody when Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) is tasked with taking his son Spike, played by newcomer Alfie Williams, to the world beyond the island.
While Boyle has recruited some talented actors for "28 Years Later," Cillian Murphy won't return to the franchise just yet.
