Jodie made an entrance at the premiere in her figure-hugging silver gown, marking the debut of Danny Boyle’s highly anticipated sequel to his 2002 movie 28 Days Later.

The Killing Eve star was in high spirits as she spoke to co-star Aaron, who opted for a sharp all-black look.

The Marvel star was joined at the premiere by his wife Sam, 58, who cut a chic figure in a white midi dress.

The release of 28 Years Later has been long-awaited, with fans left waiting two decades to discover the next instalment in the film series.

And with the nation devastated by the Rage virus nearly three decades ago, this new film – released June 19 – will show insight into the vastly different ways humanity has adapted to survive.

For one such community, this means complete isolation from the outside world, and in a new clip ahead of the film’s premiere, star Aaron shares insight into this new addition to the 28 Days Later universe for the first time.

In this new land, known as The Holy Island, humans are entirely self-sufficient, and only leave the community to hunt on the mainland, when the tide is low.

Aaron plays Jamie a scavenger who is tasked with training his Spike to survive in the wilderness, before they embark on a deadly mission to the mainland.

Meanwhile, Jodie plays Jamie’s wife, a woman who is suffering from memory loss.

Jodie recently admitted she was ‘scared’ while filming the new zombie thriller.

And while the flick is intended to petrify movie fans, Jodie has told how despite starring in the film, she was left startled herself as she insisted that one ‘can’t fake’ the emotions she exhibited on screen.

Speaking in a featurette ahead of the film’s release later this month, Jodie explained: ‘Being on a Danny Boyle set, I found it to be the most amazing experience. 

‘The relationship that the camera seemed to be having with the characters and the story and seeing how that comes to life.

‘I was quite taken aback because I felt like I’d spent a lot of time outdoors in the beautiful locations and then all of a sudden, I’m being chased. 

‘I was scared – there is a kind of tension within it, you can’t fake it. When you’re in these high intensity situations, it’s exhilarating, it’s thrilling, it’s terrifying.’ 

She went on to add of the film’s director: ‘I think what Danny brings to this genre is humanity and emotion.’

It comes as Danny dropped a huge revelation about Cillian Murphy’s fate in the movie.  

The original film 28 Days Later starred Cillian, 49, as a bicycle courier who wakes up from a coma to discover the accidental release of a highly contagious, aggression-inducing virus that has caused the breakdown of society.

Also in attendance was presenter Edith Bowman, who opted for a black midi dress with floral detailing

But despite frenzied speculation that he would be reprising his role in this sequel, when the trailer came out in December, one character appeared to resemble a zombified form of Cillian’s character Jim from the first film. 

However, this theory was quickly shut down when a London art dealer and model revealed he was the one playing the zombie character.

But now Danny has confirmed that Cillian will make an appearance in the second and third films of the new trilogy. He is also serving as executive producer.

Speaking about Cillian’s role in the new post-apocalypse thriller, Danny told IGN: ‘He is in the second one’, adding: ‘I shouldn’t give away too much – I’ll get killed.’

He went on to say: ‘We haven’t got the money for the third one yet. It will depend how the first one does, I guess. 

‘But hopefully if we do OK, they’ll give us the go-ahead for the money and for the third one. Everybody’s standing by for that, really, including Cillian.’
