If you've seen 28 Years Later since its release in UK cinemas last week, it's highly likely you'll have some pretty strong feelings one way or another about the film's much talked-about ending.
Jimmy – who appears to have modelled himself on Jimmy Savile – now looks set to play a major part in upcoming sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.
The sequel was filmed back-to-back with 28 Years Later, and so fans will have a shorter wait than they might usually expect between films.
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple release date
The good news for fans is that – notwithstanding any last-minute changes – we already know exactly when the film will arrive in cinemas. Not only that, there's not long to wait at all!
Where things get a little more complicated is when it comes to the third film in the trilogy.
The Bone Temple is intended as the middle chapter of a three-film arc, with Alex Garland having already penned the final movie and Danny Boyle hoping to return to direct – but Sony has not yet officially greenlit film three at this stage.

If it does get confirmed, it obviously won't be possible for the third film to keep up the same pace in terms of release – given that it will still need to be shot – but hopefully there won't be too long a gap.
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple cast
He won't be the only returnee, with Ralph Fiennes also back as the enigmatic Doctor Ian Kelson and Aaron Taylor-Johnson reprising his role as Spike's father Jamie, who will presumably be venturing to the mainland to go looking for his son.
Swedish star Edvin Ryding and, more notably, Jodie Comer will both be absent, unless they are drafted back in to appear in any flashback sequences.
Likewise, Emma Laird and Maura Bird are set to appear as members of his cult.
Murphy was initially reported to appear in the first of the new films, only for those rumours to be proven wide of the mark, but we now know for certain that he'll be popping up briefly at the end of The Bone Temple before appearing in a more major role in the final film if it goes ahead.
Should we hear of any further additions to the cast, we'll post them right here.
We can also most likely expect Spike's father Jamie to head to the mainland as he looks to be reunited with his runaway son.
Meanwhile, the question of how baby Isla – who Spike took to Holy Island before venturing back to the mainland – might tie into events is also one worth considering.
"[The ending] is about reintroducing evil into what has been a compassionate environment," the director explained.
That certainly sounds intriguing – especially with what we know about Jimmy so far – and it will be interesting to see exactly how the film goes about exploring evil.
Is there a 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple trailer?
We don't have a trailer for The Bone Temple just yet, but given the short gap between the two films it seems realistic to suggest that there can't be too long to wait before we see something.
28 Years Later is now showing in UK cinemas.
