The Ending Of 28 Weeks Later Explained

Thankfully, Tammy and Andy find their way to Wembley Stadium where Doyle's pilot friend, Flynn (Harold Perrineau), is waiting in his helicopter. Although Scarlet and Doyle died on the way, Flynn still chooses to take the siblings out of the country knowing that Andy could actually be the answer to stopping the infection. Plus, having Andy in his care means Flynn is more able to get to a secure location, which would make it easier to get back to his wife and child — so that's why he flies them over the English Channel towards France.

Unfortunately, their fate is left unknown, as one of the final moments of the movie shows the empty helicopter 28 days later (nice) with a French voice coming through the radio. Considering Tammy and Andy's resilience got them this far, it seems likely that they've survived and they'll find a way of creating a cure. But the Rage Virus has reached France, as the last scene sees the infected running up towards the Eiffel Tower. Oh dear.

So what's next? Well, writer Alex Garland recently told Yahoo! Entertainment that he knows what would happen in a follow-up, but it'd be a vastly different movie. "I have got a really cool idea for it, but it's a much bigger movie, and one of the things about '28 Days Later' is that it was small and punk and this idea is less small and punk. But me and Danny speak about it. Every couple of years it will come up, or going, 'Do you want to do that?' and then for some reason it never happens."

Maybe one day (perhaps, say, 28 years after the end of this film?) the Rage Virus will rear its head for a third and final time.
