Spike Returns 'Regressed' in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
Actor Alfie Williams reveals his character Spike has undergone significant changes in the highly anticipated horror sequel, directed by Nia DaCosta.
The upcoming horror sequel brings back teenager Spike in a dramatically altered state, according to actor Alfie Williams who reprises the role. Williams describes his character as having 'regressed' since audiences last saw him alongside Sir Jimmy Crystal and his deadly acrobatic crew at the end of the previous film.
New Director Takes Creative Control
Nia DaCosta steps into the director's chair for this second installment, taking over from Danny Boyle who helmed the first film. Boyle remains attached to return for the trilogy's final chapter. DaCosta's vision appears to push the franchise into unexpected territory.
Early reactions suggest this sequel ventures far beyond what fans anticipated. Critics describe the film as 'brutally audacious' and predict it will prove 'easily more polarizing' than 2025's major summer blockbuster.
A Weirder Direction
The sequel reportedly embraces a much stranger tone compared to its predecessor. This shift in approach may explain Spike's regression and the character's current circumstances with Crystal's dangerous group.
Williams' portrayal of the changed Spike promises to challenge audience expectations. The actor's comments hint at significant character development that moves away from the teenager viewers remember.
