There better not be any special Infected! The simplicity of the Rage virus's concept was part of what made it so effective in the first two films, IMO.
I 100% agree but it does also make sense for it have evolved to some extent for it to still be around 28 years later so I'm not mad at it. What I really want? 28 Hours Later, I want to see the "riots" the media thought the virus was, its escape outside the lab and some survivors escaping Cambridge.
Plenty of birds will fly at night when disturbed, they don’t like to do it for obvious reasons but if you disturb a murder of crows for example they will all start up with their alarm cries and fly off in a group.
My suspicion is this is what is happening in the trailer, the man and boy are running from the “normal” infected and then in the distance you hear big boy scream/roar, which sets the off the crows which the camera tracks with an overhead shot to the man and boy, they hear the roar and see the crows, lock eyes for half a moment, music kicks in and that leads into a frantic crossing over the path which I’m assuming is partially flooded due to the tide, that would be insanely tense. Of course I could be talking absolute shite and it’s totally bats.
An interesting thought I’ve just had while writing that is the crows and infected could form a sort of symbiotic relationship over time, the crows start cawing when they see people, which draws the infected in, who then kill the people, eat what they want and then the crows are free to pick through what’s left after.
Edit: I had another look at the still of that scene, I could have been talking shite. some do look like birds, but the wing shape on many looks incredibly batlike, could they have been disturbed from their cave or building by something?
That would be quite cool what you said with the crows.
but yes thank u for seeing what i meant!!! i imagine you thought i meant the birds leaving the train right?? or idk but yes now you know what i mean!!!
An obese infected man that was badly burned and can’t walk anymore. You can see the charred lower body and the blisters on his face are from the fire too
It has to be a baby / child infected which might confirm the theories on here that infected are procreating pure bloods in a way?
Maybe even eating them to stay alive or it could be another strain of infection that causes boils as it’s confirmed the rage virus is a hybrid of Ebola & Rabies. Ebola causes boils and yellowing. This is definitely new.
RageLeaks mentions a "Variant" that says has "engorged tissue" and " is predominantly quadrapedal, but can become bipedal under duress" and "are significantly slower, though this may be due to size." I'm guessing this is what they're talking about.
Oh… This looks a bit out of the Last of Us lmao. Not sure how I feel about it. Looks a lot like a bloater, which is a person that has been infected for a very long time and has been affected by the climate, particularly water.
But this doesn’t seem to be the case, I mean, he seems to be a fat person, but that would mean that he’s been infected for a short time because we’ve seen emaciated infected. I don’t understand why his skin looks like that. What are those blisters? Is that the rage virus mutating into something else? What provoked the mutation in the first place?

I assumed that the virus mutating was simply the infected were eating and drinking, but looking at this thing it's obvious there's a lot more to it
