28 Years Later 3 Update Clarifies Mysterious The Bone Temple Plot Point

A 28 Years Later 3 update clarifies a mysterious plot point featured in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.

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

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.

What is the 28 Years Later 3 update?

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, 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’s actions in The Bone Temple.

“This is so interesting because there’s going to be a third movie,” she said. “I was talking to Alex about it last night, and I don’t 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’m good to say that he’s not fully cured, and the level that he is healed is permanent. He’s not what he was [at the start of the movie], but is he one of us? I don’t know. But he’s not what he was.”

A release date for 28 Years Later 3 has not yet been set.
