Now,Empirehas revealeda bloodied new image of Fiennes' Dr. Kelson, an important survivor in28 Years Later. While not much is known about the doctor yet, Fiennes teases an “interesting” way he’s been able to survive for so long, cryptically teasing what audiences will think of him. He also said that, while he’s introduced in the first movie, his real time to shine will be in its sequel,28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, in 2026. Check out the new image, and what Fiennes had to say, below:
He’s a survivor, and the way he survived is very interesting. He’s quite out-there in his views on the world. I think audiences will assume something about him and then see where it goes." “[He’ll be] a much bigger part of the next one.
What Fiennes' Statement Means For His Dr. Kelson In 28 Years Later
He’s A Character With Plenty Of Mystery About Him
There’s not much information about how Dr. Kelson will interact with the rest of the characters, other than he’s a seasoned survivor they meet on their travels. However, he can be seen multiple times in the28 Years Latertraileraround various bone structures, indicating he’ll have an important role to play when it comes to this location. As for Fiennes' role in general,it seems he’ll at least appear in the first two movies of the trilogy, with his fate afterward currently unclear.
One 28 Years Later Scene Makes It A Totally Different Movie Compared To 28 Days Later
2002’s 28 Days Later is one of the most iconic post-apocalyptic movies, but now, one 28 Years Later scene is moving the franchise in a new direction.
However, the image of him covered in blood isn’t something new for his character, as it appears the survivors are going to be meeting him while he’s drenched in red. This could have something to do with how he’s been able to survive,perhaps using a method similar toThe Walking Deadto disguise his scent from the infected. This may also connect to28 Years Later’s Bone Templelocation, with him being there perhaps another indicator of how he was able to live for so many years.

He’s An Important Piece Of The Trilogy’s Puzzle
Although the extent of Dr. Kelson’s story hasn’t been revealed yet, the image and Fiennes' statement means he’ll be a key figure in the movies going forward. Whatever his motivations happen to be, it sounds like the audience will be able to pick up on them early, potentially implying he’s not who he seems at the outset. Since28 Years Later’s story is still maintaining some mystery ahead of release, the extent of his influences probably won’t be unveiled until it arrives in theaters.
