In this new land, known as The Holy Island, humans are entirely self-sufficient, and only leave the community to hunt on the mainland, when the tide is low.

In an exclusive featurette, Aaron offers a glimpse at this new Holy Island, explaining: 'My character is part of this community that survived 20-odd years because they live on the Holy Island, disconnected from the mainland. 'They don't have doctors or medicine, can only eat what they can grow, they can go hunt, but they have to go hunt on the mainland.' 'And we have rules, if you leave the island and you don't return, there's no one going out to look for you, they're going to assume you've been infected and you're dead.' Aaron then explains that for his character's son, it's a 'rite of passage' to learn his father's hunting skills, in the hope that they can survive when they leave the island. The film is set on the real-life island of Lindisfarne, which is only accessible through a causeway during low tide. The original film 28 Days Later starred Cillian as a bicycle courier who wakes up from a coma to discover the accidental release of a highly contagious, aggression-inducing virus has caused the breakdown of society. But despite frenzied speculation that he would be reprising his role in this sequel, when the trailer came out in December, with one character appearing to resemble a zombified form of Cillian's character Jim from the first film. However, this theory was quickly shut down when a London art dealer and model revealed he was the one playing the zombie character.

Speaking during Sony's presentation at 2025 CinemaCon, the filmmaker hinted: 'Like all good things in life, you may have to wait a little while for [Cillian] to make his appearance'. 28 Years Later was filmed back-to-back with the second film, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, by director Nia DaCosta, which is being released in January 2026. Producer Andrew Macdonald previously confirmed that Cillian would not be appearing in 28 Years Later, but also suggested he could return for a future film. He told Empire: '[On] this, we wanted him to be involved and he wanted to be involved. He is not in the first film, but I'm hoping there will be some Jim somewhere along the line.' He added: 'He's involved at the moment as an executive producer, and I would hope we can work with him in some way in the future in the trilogy.' With a budget of $75million, 28 Years Later is the biggest film to be created with an iPhone and follows in the footsteps of a new Apple TV show. 28 Years Later hits UK cinemas on June 19, 2025.

Jodie Comer shares unexpected Everton link after final Goodison match
Killing Eve star Jodie Comer revealed she has a surprising connection to Everton Football Club as she took to social media to mark the end of the club's time at Goodison Park Jodie Comer tribute to Everton fans on Sunday as the football club bid farewell to its Goodison Park ground after 133 years. The football team will move to a new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock later this year. Everton, which is currently captained by Irish footballer Séamus Coleman, 36, had one last game at Goodison Park - and left fans on could nine when they enjoyed a win. The team scored a a 2-0 victory over Southampton on Sunday. Ahead of the game, 32-year-old Killing Eve star Jodie took to social media to mark the end of an era - and made special mention to her father. She took to Instagram Stories and shared a photo of her dad in an Everton coat and revealed that he has worked at the club for almost three decades. She captioned her photo, writing: "Thinking of everyone saying Thank you and Goodbye to Goodison Park today. Especially this legend. 28 years at the club and counting. I love you dad!" Jodie, who is from Liverpool, has previously discussed her love for the team. She previously told The Guardian that she longs to see Everton win the Premier League. She told the outlet: "The Oscar is considered the pinnacle of acting. You receive one of them… But I think I have to say winning the league, purely to see the joy and elation on my dad's and my brother's faces." Later this year, Jodie will be seen on the big screen as a cast member of the Danny Boyle directed horror film sequel, 28 Years Later. The zombie horror film follows the 2002 original film 28 Days Later and first sequel 28 Weeks Later - which was released in 2007. Opening up to ELLE Magazine about her involvement in the film in June last year, Jodie revealed she had been studying a pop singer in order to ace an accent for her role. The magazine reported at the time: "This afternoon, she'll head to Newcastle to begin rehearsals for her latest role in the film 28 Years Later, Danny Boyle's third instalment in his zombie-horror trilogy, alongside Ralph Fiennes and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. "The part means she'll get to add another accent to her repertoire: Geordie. She has been watching clips of Cheryl on The X Factor with her dialect coach to prepare." And discussing her anticipation about filming the project, she told the magazine: "I'm excited to get the first day done... Danny just seems like such a confident, intuitive and intelligent director. The original was so loved, so I'm trying not to think of that too hard. I'm not putting too much expectation on myself." Comer recently confessed to struggling with perfecting a Chicago accent for her role in the movie The Bikeriders, which is inspired by Danny Lyon's photographic book bearing the same title. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, she confessed: "I would say that Kathy's accent is probably the hardest one that I've done. I was given 30 minutes with the real Kathy being interviewed by Danny Lyon, and I was so struck by how singular and unique her dialect and cadence was." She continued: "So I started working with a dialect coach, Victoria (Hanlin), and she told me, 'All the vowel sounds are a contradiction. This is something that is entirely her own.'". She added: "And I said, 'I want to get as close to the audio as I possibly can.' ". In another recent interview, this time with Buzzfeed, Jodie revealed she was enjoying working in films after first being rejected for a role in a major blockbuster. She told the magazine: "I auditioned for 'Mamma Mia! ' That was a time, that was also when I was auditioning for 'Killing Eve' as well." Despite past setbacks, both actors have secured starring roles in the upcoming crime drama 'The Bikeriders', portraying the married couple Benny and Kathy Cross.
