28 Years Later star talks about that heartbreaking scene in one of the scariest films of 2025 new features
The rage virus has been unleashed yet again on the world this week, thanks to 28 Years Later, and with it comes a surprising amount of heart in this post-apocalyptic nightmare. Between the terror and the Teletubbies is a story about a son, Spike (Alfie Williams), who is desperate to help his mother, Isla (Jodie Comer), and instead finds the hardest choice to be the best one. Now, Comer has spoken to Entertainment Weekly about her character’s journey and the decisions that were made to where it leads. Naturally, those who don’t wish to have the film spoiled just yet should look away now.
Still with us? Lovely.
So when it came to the quiet and beautiful exit of Comer’s character, the Emmy-winning star acknowledged how much respect she had for Isla’s decision. “I felt like there was real agency in that choice,” she explained, referring to Isla’s discovery that she had cancer, and that to continue would only hinder her son’s future. “You see the journey that she goes on in the movie, let alone what she’s probably experienced for the past several years — the kind of inner turmoil and pain.” Comer also acknowledged that even in this fantastical and equally ferocious world, Isla had a very human moment, she believes anyone could understand.
