CILLIAN Murphy’s A-list co-star has opened up on his experience working with the actor.
The Oscar winner can next be seen on the big screen in the Peaky Blinders film adaptation, The Immortal Man.
Until the much-anticipated gangster film is released, fans will have to take an upcoming return to a franchise Murphy once led.
28 Years Later is the third instalment in the 28-film series and will take audiences through the journey of survival with a brand new set of survivors trying to make it through the zombie apocalypse.
The cast for this film includes Aaron Taylor Johnson, Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes.
However, Cillian played a pivotal role in getting this latest instalment made as he starred in the first film of the franchise.
He is also serving as an executive producer on this film, frequently dropping in on the movie’s set.
Speaking to FM104 Strawberry Alarm Clock, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, one of the film’s stars opened up on his experience working with Cillian Murphy.
He said: “He’s the sweetest, he’s actually such a wonderful man. And we just are so grateful to be a part of this franchise.
“And yeah as an audience who enjoys these movies, I think we’re all very excited to see Cillian Murphy make an appearance at some point.”
Cillian could soon make another appearance in a different major movie franchise.
Ever since Daniel Craig left the famous franchise the rumour mill has been whirring as to who will take on the iconic 007 gig – but now fans want to know who will play the next Bond baddie.
Now, an actor who was previously in the running to play James Bond, is being tipped to now play the iconic villain role.
According to the bookies, Peaky Blinders actor Cillian Murphy is the current favourite to be named as the next 007 baddie.
He is leading the pack with odds of 9/2.
The Irish actor – best known for playing Thomas Shelby – previously said he was “too old” to play the famous spy.
NEW ROLE
But thanks to being at the peak of his career, the Oppenheimer star could be the next Bond villain.
Bookmaker expert Jake Ashton said: “The villain role in Bond movies is just as iconic as Bond himself.
“With Cillian Murphy at the height of his powers and trusted by major directors, he’s a natural favourite.”
Meanwhile, the race for James Bond is heating up.
Stars including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Theo James, Henry Cavill, and Tom Hardy, have all been strongly tipped to replace Daniel Craig as the Secret Service agent.
