Overview
- The mid-January release runs 109 minutes in cinemas and contains no post-credits scene.
- The story picks up immediately from the prior film with parallel threads following Spike’s entanglement with Jimmy Crystal’s cult and Dr. Ian Kelson’s bond with an Alpha known as Samson.
- Sony frames this installment around the inhumanity of survivors as the dominant threat rather than the infected.
- Critics largely praise DaCosta’s direction and the performances of Ralph Fiennes and Jack O’Connell, noting a more restrained, introspective tone alongside brutal set pieces.
- A third entry is in development with Danny Boyle and Alex Garland attached, with reports indicating Cillian Murphy is in talks to return.
