Danny Boyle teases Cillian Murphy's long-awaited return to 28 Years Later trilogy - after fans mistook zombie character for the Oscar winner


The director, 68, is working on a trilogy of movies as a follow-up to the original 2002 post-apocalyptic horror, with the first, 28 Years Later, set to be released in June.

When the nail-biting trailer for the highly-anticipated film was released in December, fans went wild over one unexpected moment that saw a zombie rise up in a field behind Jodie Comer's character. 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. 28 Years Later is set to hit cinemas in June and also stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson [pictured] , Ralph Fiennes , Erin Kellyman and Jack O'Connell
