"Ozempic queen": Fans react with memes and jokes to the new poster of ‘28 Years Later’ from Empire

28 Years Later is set to release this year and fans can't keep calm. The prequels of the horror film, 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, have certainly raised the bar and fan expectations. As netizens eagerly await the release, the poster has stirred quite a hype on the internet. Its recent feature on the Empire magazine cover has sparked hilarious memes.

Although there are speculations about the actor on the cover, it managed to crack fans up. That's the thing about social media: it can turn any setting into a comical one, even if it's a horror/thriller. The actor appears to be abnormally skinny with an unsettling expression.

Unlike a conventional horror setting, he is seen to be standing in a bright, flowery field, raising curiosity about the plot. Let's see what X had to say about the poster.

Fans react to the first look of 28 Years Later

Amid the drastic rise in ozempic use among young people, the user dropped the comment to draw a line between the drug and the poster. Let's not get into the health factor, as I'm not qualified enough. But hey, if this is the beauty standard, Prince Charming would have chosen Cinderella's evil step-sister.

Babe, wake up; new Fortnite skin just dropped. Fortnite needs to take inspiration from the cover ASAP. Fans are demanding the skin to be included! Can't blame them, can we? This looks cool enough for dramatic gameplay. Spam the Fortnite pages!

Body goals? Is it? The recent shifts in beauty standards would have you wondering if Ozempic is the solution. Don't be gullible enough to fall for what they say! A gentle reminder, the goal weight should be how you want to see yourself. Not how they wish to see you!

Ariana Grande? (via Youblngwthme_17)

Ariana Grande is that you? No hate, but Ariana has been on the top 10 appearance inspo list for her fans. Come on, who wouldn't want a waist as slender as the "Dangerous woman?"

Just when fans were getting over the news of Cillian Murphy not appearing in 28 Years Later! Seems like netizens encountered a Mandala effect where they thought it was their favorite star. Sorry to break it to you!

Machine Gun Kelly? (via hewannabejerome/X)

MGK has been subjected to trolls forever for his weight. As many regard him as a 'skinny legend' or 'too underweight,' let's not forget the women he pulled. Maybe that is the real weight goal.
