Meanwhile, following the film’s release, the director, Danny Boyle, opened up about the ending. He explained, “The role of Jack O’Connell’s character and his family, which is a replacement, really, for the family he loses at the beginning of the film, is to reintroduce evil into what has become a compassionate environment.”
The filmmaker further shared, “I asked Alex [Garland, writer] right at the beginning to just tell me what the nature of each of the films is, and he said that the nature of the first film is about family. The second film is about the nature of evil. And you’re about to meet a lot more of them when it’ll be more appropriate to talk about them in the second film.”
The fans will have to watch the second movie, where Jimmy will play the main character. The upcoming movie will also reintroduce Cillian Murphy’s Jim, who portrayed the protagonist in the first film.
