The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s Erin Kellyman has joined the cast of Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later.
Per Deadline, Kellyman has been cast in an undisclosed role in 28 Years Later, the upcoming sequel to 2002’s 28 Days Later (which was directed by Boyle) and 2007’s 28 Weeks Later (which was directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo).
Kellyman is known for playing Karli Morgenthau alongside Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie in 2021’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. She also played Jade in Disney+’s Willow series and has starred in movies such as 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story and 2021’s The Green Knight.
She’ll soon be seen in Steve McQueen’s new movie, Blitz, along with Scarlett Johansson’s feature film directorial debut, Eleanor the Great.
What else do we know about 28 Years Later?
28 Years Later, which will kickstart a new trilogy of movies, also stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, and Jack O’Connell.
Sony Motion Pictures Group chairman Tom Rothman also recently confirmed that Cillian Murphy will reprise his role as Jim in the forthcoming horror sequel; though he noted Murphy will do so “in a surprising way and in a way that grows.” He also hinted that it’s “not in any way a literal sequel” to 28 Days Later.
Further plot details for 28 Years Later remain under wraps at this time. Civil War’s Alex Garland wrote the script for the movie and serves as a producer alongside Boyle, Andrew Macdonald, Peter Rice, and Bernie Bellew. Murphy also serves as an executive producer.
The second film in the new 28 Years Later trilogy will be directed by Candyman and The Marvel’s Nia DaCosta. It has not yet been revealed who will helm the third movie.
28 Years Later releases in United States theaters on June 20, 2025, from Sony Pictures.
