What Could Be The Plot of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple?

Even though we have confirmed details about the cast of the sequel, there’s still a serious lack of information about the actual plot of The Bone Temple. Even though filming is already complete, the team behind the movie has remained tight-lipped about what’s going down this time around. That said, we can make a few educated guesses, especially considering how 28 Years Later ended.

With Spike abandoning his father, Jamie, it’s possible that Jamie will now set out to find his son, and somewhere along that journey, the mysterious Bone Temple could come into play. Still, it’s too early to say anything for sure or dive deep into speculation. For now, we are waiting for more details, and the moment something concrete drops, we’ll keep you updated.
