28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Trailer Brings Ralph Fiennes And Jack O’Connell Face To Face
With 28 Years Later, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland managed to pull off a truly terrifying and deeply satisfying return to the Rage-infected world introduced in 28 Days Later, deepening the lore surrounding their vision of the post-apocalypse and making one of 2025’s best movies in the process. Now, Candyman‘s Nia DaCosta is picking up the baton with Boyle produced and Garland penned sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which is set to see Spike (Alfie Williams), Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes), Sir Jimmy Crystal (Jack O’Connell), and co learn more about the Rage — and indeed rage — ripping through a broken Britain. Check out the intense new trailer below;
Phew! We did say intense, didn’t we? After a very vibes-heavy, plot-light first trailer, this latest look at DaCosta’s The Bone Temple gives us plenty to chew on and mull over. From Dr. Kerson’s continued research into the nature of the Rage virus and compelling snapshots of his pre-Wotsit-looking past life, to Sir Jimmy and his gang’s skin-crawling “search for souls to deliver to hell” as a wide-eyed Spike watches on in terror, to an incredibly tense meeting between Crystal and Kerson, there’s plenty going on in this second chapter of Boyle and Garland’s planned trilogy. And that’s without even accounting for the continued bloodlust of the ever-ravenous infected — or what looks to be Kerson’s efforts to potentially cure Alpha Samson (Chi Lewis-Parry).
The official synopsis for The Bone Temple reads: “Expanding upon the world created by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland in 28 Years Later — but turning that world on its head — Nia DaCosta directs 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. In a continuation of the epic story, Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) finds himself in a shocking new relationship — with consequences that could change the world as they know it — and Spike’s (Alfie Williams) encounter with Jimmy Crystal (Jack O’Connell) becomes a nightmare he can’t escape. In the world of The Bone Temple, the infected are no longer the greatest threat to survival – the inhumanity of the survivors can be stranger and more terrifying.”
We’ll see exactly where the apocalypse takes us next after 28 Years Later‘s bonkers ending when Nia DaCosta’s 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple hits cinemas on 16 January, 2026.
