Jodie Comer opens up about the pressure of working in legacy films
Speaking to Cinema Blend 28 years later, Comer said, “Oh, my god. I mean, I think you can’t think too much about the legacy of things, because when something is so beloved, the pressure becomes a lot more.”
Comer expressed her joy about being directed by Danny Boyle and called him an incredibly innovative and confident filmmaker. She said, “Oh, I’ll go on set, and to have someone like that directing and leading, that’s really exciting.” 28 Years Later also stars Cillian Murphy, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O’Connell, Erin Kellyman, and Ralph Fiennes.
The highly anticipated sequel is set to release on June 20, 2025, but there are still a number of casting announcements to come. Jodie Comer is now perfecting her Geordie accent in preparation for official filming of 28 Years Later.
