Spoiler Blather Ahead So Be Warned! I personally feel the tragedy would lowkey strip a part of Makoto's identity/make him grow out of this part of himself faster than he would if the tragedy didn't happen. Basically, Makoto mentions how he's a trend follower. His interests are dictated by what's popular. However, with the tragedy, he would be physically incapable of being in tune with the times. As the Ultimate Hope, Makoto would be quite busy. Sure, maybe he could keep up with a few things going on in the world, but he's already far behind by the time he becomes the Ultimate Hope. All of the survivors are. Due to their memories being wiped, they dunno until they are basically face to face with the Mastermind that a year has already passed and they have forgotten that part of their lives. So, they're all be out of the loop both in the state of the world AND whatever hip thing's popular. Furthermore, as time progresses, they all will be busy, having minimal time to keep up with the kids! They got work to do. Not to say that all of them would be out of touch millennials. For Byakuya, I feel he would be very in tuned with the stocks and the state of both Japan and the world. He would already have no interest in the trends of the common people. Not saying he wouldn't learn some stuff from the others but he'd just be that guy that the others would have to explain this new commoner stuff too. There's Kyoko who doesn't care for trends either though being more in the loop than Byakuya. Since she's a detective, being informed of current events would be helpful. Say there was a new app on phones that was shrouded in controversy. By knowing of it's existence, it'd be an aid for any potential cases with it. Kyoko's got good foresight and all. She would by no means be an expert with the trends of course, she too being busy with other tasks, but she'd at least know some info. Meanwhile, I feel Aoi would be in tuned with some stuff but not all. I can see her really being in tuned with swimming related stuff, it being her Ultimate and all and something I don't think she'd drop. So, she'd be the one to update the others on sports news and content. Meanwhile, Hiro is the type I feel would be clueless regardless but also somehow know current trends perhaps via predictions or by chance. Then there's Toko as well who I feel would be a bit more in with the times with her writing, knowing what's in but also staying in her lane. So, she wouldn't know the latest game the kids are obsessed with but she'd know the current books that are out or who the newest rising authors are. For Makoto though, I feel that, once he has time to understand what's going on, he'd be lost a bit on what's trendy. Not saying he wouldn't know anything or wouldn't participate. I feel that he'd be the type of guy who'd go watch Barbie and Oppenheimer for instance but he'd have to be updated a bit since he's a busy man now and can't fully dedicate his time to seeing what's in and what's out. He's not an unemployed teen; he's the Headmaster of Hopes Peak! Though, I feel that he'd be a bit updated on stuff due to the students but still a tad confused simultaneously. Some specific ways I feel he'd turn out during this stage of his life are the following: A) Makoto likes what was popular back in the early 2000's-2010s maybe due to nostalgia, coping, or just out of familiarity. B) He learns of new media, gaining a new sense of taste, maybe becoming akin to new songs and movies from the other survivors or from his students like learning about Vocaloid, indie Internet shows, and kpop. C) He actually becomes akin to new stuff going on (it's just in his genes to be a trend follower) and abandons the old content. D) A mix of the A) and B) where he ends up liking a mix of things, Makoto still liking old content from the 2000's era he remembers enjoying and liking the newer media. This isn't a definitive thought though and I would be happy to see others interpretations on this concept!!! An older Makoto and company would navigate the world, trying their best!

'The news surrounding 28 Years Later is highly promising, as it embraces the key to 28 Days Later's $85 million success. The original film excelled thanks to the combined efforts of directors Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, as well as Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy's lead performance. It was a critical and commercial triumph, grossing $84.6 million on an $8 million budget and receiving high audience and critic scores on Rotten Tomatoes.
The original horror/sci-fi film had a unique aesthetic that separated it from other films in the zombie subgenre. Boyle's use of early digital cameras allowed 28 Days Later to shoot in busy London areas for short bursts of time, helping the film stay under budget. This sacrificed some of the film's video quality. The dip in quality worked in its favor, however, as it fed into the gritty quality of the world. The film's sequel, 28 Weeks Later, was a success in its own right, but it failed to capture the magic of the original. Fortunately, 28 Years Later will capitalize on what made the first film so special.
28 Years Later Will Reunite Danny Boyle & Alex Garland (Which 28 Weeks Later Didn't)
Boyle and Garland are highly recognizable names in Hollywood. Boyle has directed films since the '90s and is most known for Trainspotting and the Academy Award-winning Slumdog Millionaire. Garland, who wrote 28 Years Later and other scripts in the 2000s, began directing his own films in the 2010s. Ex Machina and Annihilation are among his greatest accomplishments. With the combined recognition the two filmmakers share, it's exciting to see both of their names attached to the upcoming project, as neither of them returned for 28 Weeks Later.
The directing team already promises to bring back the excitement of 28 Days Later, and it's even more thrilling that Murphy is reprising his role in 28 Years Later. Murphy also did not return for 28 Weeks Later, something that may have worked against the sequel. Murphy has expressed passion about a 28 Days Later sequel. Following the success of Peaky Blinders and Oppenheimer, he's also reached a new career peak, with widespread recognition for his performances. Combining his buzz with the prospect of a great writer/director duo could make 28 Years Later a box office hit.
28 Years Later Would Be Great For Danny Boyle & Alex Garland
Boyle is recognized as a highly talented director, but he hasn't had a hit in recent years. His latest projects, the miniseries Pistol and film Yesterday, were both considered below average for a director of his caliber. Garland also had his first directing miss with Men, an A24 film that only brought in $11.2 million at the box office, with a 6.1 score on IMDb. His miniseries, Devs, was met with critical acclaim, but he hasn't had a successful film project since Annihilation in 2018. 28 Years Later could be an opportunity for both filmmakers to land a massive hit.
While the two acclaimed directors have nothing to prove in their craft, great artists being at the top of their game is important for the film industry. At a time when Barbie and Oppenheimer have been box office behemoths, a horror film with a great director combo could be great to keep viewers going to theaters. Boyle and Garland collaborated on more than just 28 Days Later, as Garland also wrote the script for Boyle's Sunshine. This partnership has worked for them before, and it should be an opportune way for both of them to make more great films.
What Could 28 Years Later's Story Be?
The end of 28 Days Later offers hope for its main characters. Murphy's Jim, Naomie Harris' Selena, and Megan Burns' Hannah find some safety in a cottage before being spotted by a fighter jet, which hints at them being saved. 28 Weeks Later never addresses what happened to the characters following this ending. However, the sequel indicates most of the population of the British Isles were wiped out by the virus.
This chain of events implies that Jim and his companions were saved. Indeed, Murphy's return backs this line of thinking. As such, 28 Years Later's story could see Jim in a now-ravaged Earth, hoping to begin rebuilding before the virus returns again. It would be similar to the plot of 28 Weeks Later, just with the characters that made 28 Days Later so great.'
