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.

FURIOUS Helena stormed off from the group after a savage Love Island game saw smug Harry finally admitting to snogging Yasmin. 

Confident Yasmin initiated the smooch after Harry admitted he enjoyed their kiss in a villa challenge.

She told him bluntly: “I’m waiting for you to shut up and kiss me.”

Harry duly obliged and went all in. He grabbed Yasmin by the throat and bit her lip as they gave in to desire.

Yasmin was just as handsy, leaving her mark on Harry by scratching his neck.

But despite their snog, neither Harry nor Yasmin admitted to it when they returned from the Hideaway.

That was until their actions were exposed in a brutal firepit game on Thursday night. 

Helena was left in shock as Yasmin revealed they’d kissed not once, but three times. 

And while Harry smirked, the stunning air hostess was backed by co-star Megan.

“You’re a liar,” Megan shouted across the firepit to Harry, adding: “You owe it to Helena to be f****** honest, you p****.

“She’s sat there watching you go into the Hideaway, you kissed her three times and then come out and go ‘Oh no, I didn’t do anything.’”

Meg finished by telling Harry: “Grow a pair of b******* mate, honestly, grow the f*** up.” 

After her sweary rant at the scandalous star, Helena got up and stormed off from the group as Remell said: “I think we should wrap it up here.” 

While Helena could be seen storming off as Harry showed no sign of remorse.

There were more fireworks earlier in the game when it was revealed Yasmin said she’d like Harry to “tip her upside down”.

Earlier in the day, Harry insisted he and Yasmin only had a chat.

It wasn’t long before he confided in Dejon, though, asking him to keep quiet.

Later on, he eventually told the other boys, but their muted reaction made him question if he’d done the right thing.

The semi-pro footballer said he felt Yasmin was “staring into his soul” in the debrief.

Yasmin spilled all to Toni, admitting she felt that Harry always got off lightly while she would no doubt receive backlash.

But it would appear Harry was the one who took the brunt of it on Thursday night, after the smooching was finally exposed.

A Pasig City court has dismissed the antidummy case filed against Nobel laureate and Rappler CEO Maria Ressa and five other executives of the online news site due to “grossly insufficient” evidence. In its June 13 decision made public on Thursday, Pasig City Regional Trial Court Branch 152 Presiding Judge Marie Joyce Manongsong granted the

RUBEN AMORIM is set to axe Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho from Manchester United’s pre-season tour of the USA.

The Portuguese boss is determined to take a hardline stance with the four outcasts whose days at Old Trafford are numbered.

And if the out-of-favour quartet have not found a new club by the time the squad jet off for the States in July they will be left behind to train alone at Carrington.

A club source said: “Amorim is stamping his authority on the club. It was hard arriving mid-season but he now has the opportunity to shape the team in his image. And he’s wasting no time.

“He only wants players who would die for the shirt and are on board with his ideas.

“He also wants a smaller squad to create an intimate team bond so that everyone gets enough game time to be at peak fitness when called upon. He doesn’t want any bad apples or distractions.”

Amorim is under huge pressure to deliver after a disastrous campaign which saw United finish 15th – their worst since they were relegated in the 1973-74 season.

The Red Devils also lost the Europa League final 1-0 to Tottenham.

Amorim’s rebuilding work has already begun with the £62.5million signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves while United are also chasing Brentford attacker Bryan Mbeumo.

The former Sporting coach has been assured there is cash available to strengthen the side in the coming weeks before facing Arsenal at home in the Prem season opener on August 17 and he had hoped to be reunited with striker Viktor Gyokeres.

His transfer kitty could also be bolstered with the sale of Garnacho, Rashford, Antony and Sancho.

The attacking players will almost certainly be missing when the Red Devils fly Stateside for a three-match tour.

United kick-off in New Jersey against West Ham on July 26 ahead of a trip to Chicago to face Bournemouth four days later before finishing up against Everton in Atlanta on August 3.

Garnacho, 20, is already the subject of a £45million move to Napoli but United want £70m for the Argentina international.

The Serie A champions have also expressed an interest in Sancho, whose future is in limbo after Chelsea declined to sign the on-loan winger for £25m and opted to pay a £5m penalty to send him back to Old Trafford.

Prem rivals Newcastle are said to be eyeing Rashford after Aston Villa did not follow up on his loan spell while Antony had a temporary spell in the second half of last season at Real Betis in Spain.

Kaizer Chiefs could be on the verge of completing a marquee signing up as they look to continue their rebuild ahead of the new season.

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police (PNP) has tapped fitness vlogger Rendon Labador to lead a 93-day weight loss program for its members. The program was initiated by the Police Community Affairs and Development Group (PCADG) based on a directive from PNP chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III for police officers to strictly observe the

DOMINIC SOLANKE will feel ace after hearing the comments of his new boss Thomas Frank.

Frank, snapped playing table-tennis at Tottenham’s training ground yesterday, spoke glowingly of the England striker during his first interview.

He served up compliments to other players too — though keen-eared fans also noted those the Dane did NOT mention.

Frank, 51, is only just through the door and will take time assessing his current squad with 2½ weeks until players return for pre-season.

But then he must decide who is in and who is out as he bids to turn Spurs into a smash hit for the new Premier League campaign . . .

GOALKEEPER

FRANK is unlikely to bring in or ship out any of his main stoppers.

There was some talk of AC Milan being interested in Guglielmo Vicario should Mike Maignan leave, but Spurs sources dismissed the prospect of selling the Italian, 28.

The biggest question mark will be whether he sticks with Vicario as his first choice or if Antonin Kinsky, 22, signed from Slavia Prague for £12.5million in January, can convince him a swap is needed.

Long-serving back-up  Brandon Austin remains third choice while  Alfie Whiteman leaves this month and highly-rated Josh Keeley could go out on loan again after spending last season at  Leyton Orient.

DEFENCE

QUESTIONS remain over the future of Cristian Romero, one of those stars not named by Frank.

The Argentine World Cup winner, 27, appeared to be agitating for a move last season, even speaking of his desire to play in LaLiga during a candid interview.

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone would love to sign him but a proposed £60million price tag could be prohibitive for a player who has two years left on his contract.

Fans will also demand a quality replacement if Romero goes.

Spurs offered £70m for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi in January and the England man would likely be a target again.

One who may benefit either way is Radu Dragusin, who met Frank this week along with the club’s other injured players.

The Romanian, 23, damaged knee ligaments in February and never seemed to fit into Ange Postecoglou’s style.

But Frank has a history of getting the best out of no-nonsense centre-backs.

Sergio Reguilon is out on a free transfer, leaving Spurs with only three recognised full-backs — if you do not count the versatile Ben Davies. So another is likely to be required.

MIDFIELD

FRANK spoke of trying to get the best out of James Maddison and  Rodrigo Bentancur, so both seem to be part of his plans.

Spurs hope to tie down the Uruguayan to a new contract with only a year left. But if that does not happen an exit would not be ruled out amid interest from Atletico.

Yves Bissouma also has only 12 months remaining and a few weeks ago fans would have expected the Malian, 28, to be sold given how far down the pecking order he fell under Postecoglou.

But he played a  pivotal role in the Europa League win over Manchester United and, with Frank often favouring two holding midfielders, his future is harder to call.

Spurs want the Dane to develop their young talent, including teenagers Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray.

But another holding midfielder,  perhaps with more experience,  could be on Frank’s shopping list.

“DOMINIC SOLANKE, I’m a big fan of him in terms of his abilities. I’m sure we’ll make him score a lot of goals.”

So said Frank of Spurs’ £65m striker, who was always going to be central to his approach. But who backs up the England man and plays wide?

Spurs have been open to selling Richarlison, 28, for a while now but, with his injury record and two years left on his deal, they might struggle to get an offer for the Brazilian that they will find acceptable.

There is serious interest in Bryan Mbeumo, 25, who scored 20 Prem goals for Frank’s Brentford last term — but Manchester United are also keen.

Mathys Tel, 20, has signed permanently after his spell on loan from Bayern Munich but another speedy wideman may be targeted given how Frank likes his teams to break at pace.

Then there is captain Son Heung-min, who is open to leaving after marking ten years at the club by lifting a trophy.

Son turns 33 next month, is wanted by Saudi clubs, as well as former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahce and  also has only a year left on his contract.

But his unique commercial value means Spurs will not let him go on the cheap — and almost certainly not until after the club’s tour to  South Korea at the start of August.
