Welcome Back To The Apocalypse
The long-rumored third installment in the cult horror franchise has arrived. On June 10, the official Instagram account for 28 Years Later unveiled the first look at the film’s teaser poster, confirming a global release date of June 20, 2025. The stark image—and its chilling caption—was shared by @28yearslatermovie and quickly fueled a surge of fan excitement.

Fans recognize Danny Boyle’s signature style—high-contrast visuals and lingering dread—paired here with Alex Garland’s razor-sharp storytelling. Boyle and Garland first teamed up on the original 28 Days Later (2002), and this new chapter picks up the saga nearly two decades later.
Teaser Unveils ‘memento Mori’
A follow-up Instagram post dropped a Latin motto that has horror aficionados whispering. The film’s second update (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJWSH2ztgn4/) simply reads:
“Memento Mori”
28 Years Later.
20.06.2025
#28yearslater #movie #comingsoon
Translation: “Remember you must die.” The ominous phrase hints at deeper themes—survival, mortality and legacy—promising a darker turn in the franchise.
Rising Star Chi Potlé Joins The Fray
In an attention-grabbing casting twist, up-and-coming actor Chi Potlé (@chopper_chi) leads the ensemble. Potlé has quietly built his résumé with roles in indie thrillers and big-budget epics alike. A recent Instagram tribute from co-star / friend @dcpennyworth spotlighted Potlé’s rising trajectory:

Caption Excerpt: “Living the dream—grateful every day. … here we are—side by side again, this time on Gladiator 2. … Love you, bro.”
That post underlined Potlé’s versatility and his ongoing work with major directors—even as he steps into the rage-virus universe for the first time.
Fan Speculation Heats Up
Social media is already buzzing with theories. Will any original survivors return? Could the narrative jump decades ahead to explore a world reshaped by the infamous rage virus? Early whispers suggest new characters, new terrain—and a sprawling scope that could outshine both 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later.
Film insider accounts (unconfirmed) hint at a festival premiere—possibly Cannes or Toronto—before the wide June rollout. But for now, audiences have only this haunting first glimpse.
Whether 28 Years Later will redefine post-apocalypse horror or simply double down on adrenaline-packed scares, one thing is certain: Danny Boyle and Alex Garland have delivered a teaser that no genre fan can ignore.
As the calendar ticks toward June 20, 2025, horror lovers worldwide will be counting down—memento mori.
