A 28 Years Later 3<\/a> update clarifies a mysterious plot point featured in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple<\/a>.<\/p>\n

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is currently playing in United States theaters. The fourth film in the 28 Days Later<\/a> film series, the movie, which was shot back-to-back with 28 Years Later<\/a>, is directed by Nia DaCosta<\/a>, while the script comes from Alex Garland<\/a>. The cast includes Ralph Fiennes as Dr. Ian Kelson, Jack O\u2019Connell as Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal, Alfie Williams as Spike, and Chi Lewis-Parry<\/a> as Samson.<\/p>\n

Throughout much of 28 Years Later, Dr. Ian Kelson is seen interacting with Samson. This is initially possible because Dr. Kelson is giving Samson drugs to calm him down; however, as the film goes on, it becomes apparent that Samson may be becoming cured from the Rage Virus. Samson notably begins to speak after a while, for example, while another scene sees him unlock a childhood memory.<\/p>\n

What is the 28 Years Later 3 update?<\/p>\n

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, DaCosta was asked about Samson and if he is truly cured from the Rage Virus. DaCosta said that this will be explored more in 28 Years Later 3, though she did provide some clarity about Samson\u2019s actions in The Bone Temple.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is so interesting because there\u2019s going to be a third movie,\u201d she said. \u201cI was talking to Alex about it last night, and I don\u2019t want to say anything that might need to be retconned because I have strong opinions about how I approached it for this movie. But I think I\u2019m good to say that he\u2019s not\u00a0fully\u00a0cured, and the level that he is healed is permanent. He\u2019s not what he was [at the start of the movie], but is he one of us? I don\u2019t know. But he\u2019s not what he was.\u201d<\/p>\n
