The resurgence of the zombie series after a 17-year hiatus further fueled speculation. For many, the discovery served as confirmation of Murphy’s return. After all, he’s attached to the project as an executive producer. However, bringing back a character who seemingly perished in the previous franchise installment felt like a risky move.

“Danny told me he’d always had me in mind for the role,” Neill explained. “We met up, hit it off, and I agreed to take part.”
This revelation left fans of the franchise both relieved and intrigued. While some had encouraged the possibility of Murphy’s return, many more expressed their excitement over the casting of the unknown Neill, eager to see him breathe new life into the established universe.
