Danny Boyle says a third installment in the “28 Years Later” franchise is not currently a priority, despite progress toward the project. Boyle comments that Alex Garland has written a script, but production depends on securing financing.

The news comes amid ongoing attention to the franchise’s next chapter, with outlets noting that Boyle’s remarks were made in public while discussing the status of “28 Years Later: Part III.” Variety additionally reports Boyle’s mention of an AI Margaret Thatcher concept connected to another project discussion, while other coverage focuses more narrowly on the uncertain timetable for Part III.

Across the reporting, the common thread is that the creative work exists but the film’s future hinges on funding. Boyle expresses hope the movie can be made once financing is locked in, but does not provide a specific release date, leaving fans without a clear schedule.
