The Cillian Murphy-starrer ’28 Days Later’ franchise has been resurrected. The first movie, 28 Years Later, in the trilogy was released last year. Now, its sequel ’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,’ is out in theaters. The fandom has had one major complaint from the first movie – the absence of Cillian Murphy’s Jim from 28 Years Later. Does the sequel finally reintroduce Jim? Let’s find out if Cillian Murphy is in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple or not.
Does Cillian Murphy Appear in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple?

As mentioned in our 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple review, the movie revolves mainly around Doctor Kelson and his attempts to reverse the effect of the virus using Samson as his test subject.
However, by the end of the movie, it all circles back to Spike, and we get to see him teaming up with one of the Jimmys, named Kelly, after the death of Crystal.
As the movie is about to conclude, and we have lost all hope of seeing Jim, something truly unexpected happens. Cillian Murphy’s Jim appears in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, and we see him teaching his daughter about the history of the world.
His daughter then hears a distant sound and alerts her father. Both of them head out to check it out and find that Spike and Kelly are running from the infected, and decide to help them. This confirms that Cillian Murphy will definitely appear in a major role in the third 28 Years Later movie, and it indeed is something that fans will look forward to.
This surprise reveal will be a major factor in filling up theaters for the final movie in the trilogy. Now, all that’s left to see is if we get a look into Jim’s story after 28 Days Later or not. What are your expectations for the third movie? Let us know in the comments.
