Fifteen-year-old actor Alfie Williams, who plays Spike in the 28 Years Later films, has expressed interest in seeing his character featured in the multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight. He points to the game's existing collaborations with content involving minors, such as Stranger Things, as evidence that it could work. Williams also believes that Dr. Ian Kelson, portrayed by Ralph Fiennes, would make a suitable survivor in the game.
In a recent interview with IGN's social producer Mat Jones, Alfie Williams discussed his role in the newly released sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. The conversation shifted to video games, leading Williams to advocate for a crossover with Dead by Daylight. At just 15 years old, Williams plays the character Spike in both the original 28 Years Later and its follow-up.
Williams argued that the inclusion of characters from Stranger Things in Dead by Daylight sets a precedent for featuring minors. "I know they bring Stranger Things in, so they can have minors in the game," he said. He further suggested that Dr. Ian Kelson, the character played by Ralph Fiennes in both films, could fit well as a survivor in the game's tense multiplayer matches.
Dead by Daylight, a popular asymmetric horror game, has a history of collaborations with various franchises to expand its roster of killers, survivors, and maps. Past crossovers include The Walking Dead, Five Nights at Freddy's, The Witcher, and even actor Nicolas Cage, who could simulate his own death in gameplay. These partnerships have broadened the game's appeal, blending horror elements from film, TV, and other media.
While a 28 Years Later collaboration remains speculative, Williams' enthusiasm highlights the potential for fresh content inspired by zombie apocalypse narratives. The actor shared his thoughts in a clip posted online, sparking discussions among fans about the feasibility of including younger characters in such a violent setting.
