Rumors about Murphy’s potential return made rounds online after a zombie reminiscent of the actor appeared in the first trailer for 28 Years Later. Art dealer Angus Neill recently revealed that he was the actor in the shot, dispelling rumors about Murphy making a comeback as Jim from 28 Days Later.

28 Years Later producer Andrew Macdonald also dismissed rumors in a recent interview with Empire,  but added Murphy could return in one of the future sequels.

“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’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,” said Macdonald.

28 Years Later will premiere on June 20, and its star-studded cast includes Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes.

According to its official logline, 28 Years Later takes place almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and centers on people who have found ways to exist amidst the infected.

“One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well,” reads the official logline.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes lead the cast of the latest sequel in this series, while the trailer also teases the return of Cillian Murphy. Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, Erin Kellyman, and Edvin Ryding will join them in supporting roles.

28 Years Later marks the return of the director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland, who previously collaborated on 28 Days Later. It will be released on June 20, 2025, and followed by a sequel 28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple.

Small Things Like These will take us back to 1985 when coal merchant and devoted father Bill Furlong (Murphy) must face the shocking truths about his small Irish town. After coming across a startling secret kept by the local convent, he must confront both his past and the complicit silence of his small town. Ciarán Hinds, Emily Watson, and Clare Dunne also star alongside Murphy.

The adaptation of Claire Keegan’s novel Foster, titled The Quiet Girl, also had its world premiere in Berlin. The festival’s artistic director Carlo Chatrian, is excited to welcome her back, along with Murphy, director Tim Mielants, and screenwriter Enda Walsh.

“In The Quiet Girl we already had sense of Claire Keegan’s skill in portraying small, apparently simple characters and making them unforgettable; here her delicate, rich and yet down-to-earth writing finds a great interpreter in Cillian Murphy,” said Chatrian.

The 74th Berlin International Film Festival will return to Germany from February 15-25, with Lupita Nyong’o presiding over the jury.

Oppenheimer is based on the book American Prometheus, written by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, and it follows the life of the theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. He was the director of the Manhattan Project, which developed the first nuclear weapons during World War II, leading to the creation of the first atomic bomb.

The trailer opens with a voiceover from Cillian Murphy’s Oppenheimer saying, “We imagine a future and our imaginings horrify. They would fear it until they understand it, and they won’t understand it until they’ve used it.” It’s intersected with a series of visually stunning shots, that we’re used to seeing in a Christopher Nolan movie.

In addition to Murphy, the star-studded cast of Oppenheimer also includes Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Rami Malek, Florence Pugh, Benny Safdie, Michael Angarano, Josh Hartnett, and Kenneth Branagh, among others. It will be released on July 21, 2023 by Universal Pictures, marking Nolan’s first film in over two decades not to be distributed by Warner Bros.

According to the official logline, the second chapter of this terrifying story will see the members of the Abbott family facing the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight for survival in silence, only to realize that the creatures that hunt by sound aren’t the only threat.

The new trailer sees Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe returning to their respective roles from the first movie, and they’re joined by two new cast members. Cillian Murphy (Peaky Blinders) and Djimon Hounsou (Guardians of the Galaxy) will join them as mysterious survivors, but the trailer doesn’t reveal if they’re enemies or friends.

A Quiet Place: Part II is set to premiere on March 20th, with John Krasinski returning to direct.

Murphy will star alongside returning actors Emily Blunt and kids stars Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe. The three and John Krasinski starred as the Abbott family, who is fighting to survive in a world overrun by vicious, blind monsters that hunt their prey through their enhanced hearing. Krasinski is also returning as the film’s director and writer. 

Though additional plot and casting details are kept seriously quiet, according to Entertainment Weekly, should he join, Murphy is said to play a man who joins the Abbott family unit, though his intentions are mysterious.

A Quiet Place was a sleeper hit, bringing in $340 million in the global box-office on a $17 million budget.

Murphy is a frequent Christopher Nolan collaborator, starring in the director’s Batman trilogy and WWI drama Dunkirk.
