Actor Responds to Zombie Doppelgänger Buzz Over 28 Years Later Sequel Trailer

An actor recently addressed the perplexity stemming from a new trailer for a zombie sequel, noting that comparisons between his appearance and that of an undead figure have caused quite the stir among fans.

When the long-awaited trailer for the sequel 28 Years Later was revealed, viewers caught sight of a gaunt, extremely emaciated and decomposing figure standing alone in a sweeping meadow with tall grasses. This eerie character bore a striking resemblance to the actor who once led in the original 28 Days Later.

This similarity prompted a wave of assumptions among enthusiasts that the actor’s previous character might have returned in a transformed state for the third installment. However, the film’s director quickly clarified that the role was portrayed by someone else, and that the new character had no connection to the protagonist from the first film.

The actor himself later responded to these comparisons during an interview with a major publication, expressing a light-hearted reaction to the misunderstanding. He mentioned that although it was amusing to be likened to a decaying figure, he did not entirely appreciate the notion.

• The character’s appearance led fans to draw parallels with the actor from the original film.
• The film’s director clarified that the role was played by another actor, unrelated to the earlier story.
