Here's where you might recognize the rest of the cast from.
"28 Years Later" brings the terrifying Rage virus back to the big screen as director Danny Boyle returns to examine postapocalyptic Britain once more.
It's the third film in the franchise following 2007's "28 Weeks Later" and is released on June 20. It picks up decades after the initial outbreak turned the British population into bloodthirsty, sprinting zombies.
"28 Years Later" revolves around the inhabitants of Lindisfarne, an island off the coast of Northumberland. The tide cuts Lindisfarne off from the mainland most of the time, keeping it safe from the infected.
Things get bloody when Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) is tasked with taking his son Spike, played by newcomer Alfie Williams, to the world beyond the island.
While Boyle has recruited some talented actors for "28 Years Later," Cillian Murphy won't return to the franchise just yet.

From Netflix to Fantastic Four — meet the British stars leading new Marvel film
The Fantastic Four has finally entered their Marvel era with new movie First Steps, and the film has an exceptional cast that includes two of Britain's hottest upcoming stars – Vanessa Kirby and Joseph Quinn. Kirby and Quinn make up half of Marvel's first family, playing siblings Sue and Johnny Storm, who are also known by their superhero monikers The Invisible Woman and Human Torch due to their respective powers. The pair are joined by Pedro Pascal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach in the film, who play Sue's husband Reed Richards and best friend Ben Grimm. The British stars have been rising exponentially over the last few years, but both share interesting journeys to becoming the beloved actors we know and love today. From The Crown to Sue Storm, Vanessa Kirby's rise to fame Kirby may well be known as a TV and film star now, but she began her acting career on stage, treading the boards in several acclaimed performances long before she graced a screen. The actor made her stage debut in 2010, landing not one but three standout roles in All My Sons, Ghosts, and A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Octagon Theatre Bolton. Her performances saw her gain a lot of interest in theatre circles, with The Guardian describing her as a "significant new talent" after she played Helena in the aforementioned Shakespeare play. Kirby has shared her joy at starting out in theatre, telling Grazia that performing on stage in Bolton was "some of the happiest times of my whole life" because of how it allowed her to experiment and perfect her craft without "caring about whether you're well-known or not". Her TV debut was in BBC's The Hour, she had a supporting role in the drama, which was led by Ben Whishaw, Dominic West, and Romola Garai. It told the story of the comings and goings of a fictional 1950s current affairs programme. She also starred in TV shows like The Frankenstein Chronicles with Sean Bean, and Agatha Christie's Poirot with David Suchet. Kirby slowly began making her mark in film, starring in 2013's About Time and TV movie The Dresser alongside Ian McKellen and Anthony Hopkins. But it was in 2015 that Kirby became a household name after she took on the role of Princess Margaret in Netflix's The Crown. The actor's performance as Queen Elizabeth's younger sister received huge critical acclaim, and she became an overnight sensation and went on to win the Bafta for Best Supporting Actress in 2017. The role officially put her on the map, and her career was only going up from there. 2018 and 2019 saw Kirby make her mark on two iconic action franchises. She starred as villain Alanna Mitsopolis, aka the White Widow, in Mission: Impossible — Fallout, and played Hattie Shaw, the younger sister of Jason Statham's Deckard Shaw, in Fast & Furious spinoff Hobbs & Shaw. In 2020, Kirby won Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival for her role in the critically acclaimed Netflix drama Pieces of a Woman. Kirby had well and truly made it, and her star power was only further improved by her role as Josephine in Ridley Scott's epic historical film Napoleon in 2023. She also went on to return as the White Widow in Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning before landing the role of Sue Storm in Fantastic Four. As well as acting, Kirby has launched her own production company, Aluna Entertainment, which she hopes will be able to create more space for women in the industry. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar she said: "There have been so few female directors, female-led movies and female protagonists in the past, which means there are lots of spaces and genres in which we haven't seen real, messy, human women onscreen before. "That's a mission of mine with the company – to put women onscreen who I feel are like me, rather than invincible." Joseph Quinn, Stranger Things and beyond Quinn is one of the brightest young stars of the business, having finally made his breakthrough in the industry after starring in Stranger Things series 4 as Eddie Munson back in 2022. Fame has been a strange thing for Quinn to contend with, he once told Esquire magazine, as he said of the life-changing role: "When the world starts behaving differently towards you, that's a strange thing. I don't think it's ever something you get used to. I personally haven't, and I don't think I will." But the actor's career began years before Stranger Things, as he landed his first major role in the BBC series Dickensian in 2015 where he portrayed Arthur Havisham. Quinn was transported to Hollywood soon after, landing a small role in Game of Thrones series 7 in 2017, but he returned to the BBC and ITV for shows like Howard's End and Les Misérables. His other notable TV roles include Catherine the Great and Steve McQueen's Small Axe. Quinn made his film debut in 2018 with the horror movie Overlord, which was led by fellow Marvel alum Wyatt Russell, and he also starred in the British thriller Hoard in 2019. His star power in movies came after he became a worldwide sensation in Stranger Things, though, as the majority of his film roles have been released in the wake of his debut in the Netflix series. Speaking to GQ in 2024, the actor admitted landing the Netflix show has been life-changing: "Stranger Things changed my life professionally in ways I couldn't imagine. It's nuts, I don't know how else to describe it.' Since then, the actor has made widely interesting choices onscreen, working alongside Ridley Scott in Gladiator II as sibling emperor Geta, co-leading A Quiet Place prequel Day One and appearing in Alex Garland's profound Iraq War movie Warfare. The actor has enjoyed being more selective in the wake of his newfound fame, telling Vogue in 2024 that he now wants to 'tell stories that are confrontational, challenge people and don't patronise the audience. That's where film is at its most powerful.' Quinn isn't one to rest on his laurels now that The Fantastic Four is out, no, because he is about to embark on an epic journey of a different kind — playing one of The Beatles. The actor has been cast as George Harrison in Sam Mendes' four-movie event alongside Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson and Barry Keoghan. And after that, he also has Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars to star in, no biggie. Fantastic Four: First Steps is out now in cinemas.

Royal Insiders Reveal One Major Benefit Prince Louis Has as Prince William & Kate Middleton's Youngest Child
Being fourth in line to the British throne has its benefits for Prince Louis, the 7-year-old son of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The little boy has two older siblings — so if there is an heir and a spare, he would be the spare's spare — but still, royal insiders say he has one distinct advantage over his brother Prince George, 12, and sister Princess Charlotte, 10. Princess Kate has long been praised for her ability to laugh off her youngest child's antics, and experts think this has something to do with the fact that Louis is the youngest. Parenting expert Sophie David recently told Hello, 'The Princess of Wales shows us how important it is to nurture a child's playful side, even in formal settings.' More from SheKnows Prince George Steals the Show in an Adorably Candid New Video of the Royal Siblings 'With Prince Louis, we often see her giving him the freedom to be cheeky, giggle, and explore the world around him,' she continued. 'Kate's warmth and gentle encouragement remind us that playfulness is at the heart of childhood, and it's lovely to see Louis' cheeky, happy side shine through wherever he goes.' One reason the Princess of Wales stays calm is because the eyes of the world are on her. Not to mention, there is so much less pressure with Prince Louis than, say, with Prince George, who is next in line to the throne after his father. 'The youngest child arrives into a ready-made family dynamic, so they benefit from socializing with older siblings and develop social and communication skills early on,' royal insider Alicia Eaton told the outlet. She added that the parents' confidence impacts the youngest child as well. 'The sense of calm and confidence [with the youngest] creates a reassuring environment, allowing the youngest child to thrive with a greater sense of security. This then leads to a more playful and relaxed relationship with parents.' In other words, this is not William and Kate's first rodeo, and they don't seem as stressed about how their young child acts now. Psychologists have long debated on whether birth order makes a difference for siblings. One 2015 study found that firstborns scored higher on intelligence tests; however, there were no birth-order impact on extraversion, emotional stability, agreeableness, conscientiousness, or imagination. As the eldest daughter and second-born out of a family of six kids, I definitely feel more responsible than my younger siblings. This might have something to do with the fact that I was helping take care of them as they grew up and they were allowed to be carefree kids, plus my parents seemed to mellow out as they got older. Now that I have three kids, I can see how you get less anxious and care less about little things the more children you have. So, if Middleton gives Louis a longer rein, I get it. Even though his birth order probably isn't responsible for his silly and laidback personality, it may have something to do with giving him the experience of more laidback parents. Or it could be that they are intentionally harder on George and even Charlotte, as they're closer to the line of succession. This doesn't necessarily seem to be the case, though. Commentator Kinsey Schofield told Daily Star in 2023 that the Waleses are 'determined to break the heir and the spare cycle' like the one Prince William and Prince Harry had. 'I don't believe the word 'spare' has ever been uttered inside their home to describe one or more of their babies,' Schofield added. 'It is just not on their radar. They wanted to have a large loving family.' 'William and Catherine are teaching their children about royal responsibilities through doing them,' Schofield told the outlet, adding that Middleton 'seems affectionate, supportive, and engaging as a mother.'Best of SheKnows How to Watch These 25 Halloween Movies on Disney+ for Summerween Antics The Dumbest (and Deadliest) TikTok Trends Targeting Teens & Tweens Aquaman, Wolf Monte, & More Unique Celebrity Baby Names Solve the daily Crossword
