 Cillian Murphy BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Cillian Murphy is set for a major comeback in the 28 Years Later franchise with talks confirmed for him to star as Jim in the untitled third film, directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, according to Scream Horror Magazine. This follows his executive producer role on 2025s 28 Years Later and a cameo in the upcoming The Bone Temple, marking his return to the lead after 23 years and positioning it as a blockbuster highlight for his career. NileFM echoes the excitement over his Bone Temple involvement.

Netflix dropped the first trailer for Steves new drama Steve on August 13, unveiling Murphys scruffy gray beard as troubled headteacher Steve in this adaptation of Max Porters novel Shy, with a limited theater run in September and streaming premiere October 3, as AOL reports. The look contrasts his clean-shaven vibe at the March 2025 Oscars, hinting at his chameleon transformations ahead of a potential Peaky Blinders movie shoot in September, per series creator Steven Knight via Birmingham World.

Digital Spy hailed Murphys breathtaking historical thriller as perfect on December 22, landing a new UK streaming home, boosting his prestige post-Oscar. He remains one of 2025s most searched celebrities due to 28 Years Later buzz, Oldest.org notes. No fresh public appearances or social media mentions surface in the past few days, though a Substack holiday post gushes over bingeing Peaky Blinders for his Caribbean Sea eyes. An Irish Examiner career piece namechecks his law-to-acting pivot as inspirational, while older nods recall his wife Yvonne McGuinness lipstick mark from his first Golden Globe win. All verified, no speculation herejust Murphy quietly building toward 2026s heavy hitters.
