20 Actors About To Give AMAZING Performances In Horror Movies

7. Cillian Murphy - 28 Years Later Part III

Now in total fairness, we still don't know for sure that a third 28 Years Later movie is actually happening, after the most recent film, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, catastrophically flopped at the box office.

But the prospective sequel does have a gigantic selling point working in its favour - it'll bring Cillian Murphy's original franchise protagonist, Jim, back to the forefront.

Murphy of course made a cameo appearance at the very end of The Bone Temple, where Jim and his daughter Sam (Maiya Eastmond) observed Spike (Alfie Williams) and Kellie (Erin Kellyman) attempting to flee a group of the infected.

Murphy's return to the franchise has been almost a quarter-century in the making, and so it's fair to assume that director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland are going to cook up some dynamite material for him, especially considering how much his popularity has surged in recent years.
