{{main|T2 Trainspotting}}
Boyle had declared his wish to make a [[sequel]] to ''Trainspotting'' which would take place nine years after the original film, based on Irvine Welsh's sequel, ''[[Porno (novel)|Porno]]''. He was reportedly waiting until the original actors themselves aged visibly enough to portray the same characters, ravaged by time; Boyle joked that the natural vanity of actors would make it a long wait. Ewan McGregor stated in an interview that he would return for a sequel, saying "I'm totally up for it. I'd be so chuffed to be back on set with everybody and I think it would be an extraordinary experience."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.scotsman.com/entertainment.cfm?id=536452007 |title=Junkies reunited as sequel gets go-ahead |work=[[The Scotsman]] |date=13 January 2009 |access-date=3 April 2009 |location=Edinburgh |first1=Michael |last1=Howie |first2=Kevin |last2=Schofield |archive-date=3 May 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070503183317/http://news.scotsman.com/entertainment.cfm?id=536452007 |url-status=live }}</ref>

On 6 May 2014, during a [[BBC Radio]] interview with [[Richard Bacon (broadcaster)|Richard Bacon]], Welsh confirmed that he had spent a week with Boyle, Andrew Macdonald and the creative team behind ''Trainspotting'' to discuss the sequel. Welsh stated that the meeting was to "explore the story and script ideas. We're not interested in doing something that will trash the legacy of ''Trainspotting''. ... We want to do something that's very fresh and contemporary."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-27293478|title=Irvine Welsh in talks over Trainspotting film sequel|work=BBC News|access-date=15 June 2015|archive-date=25 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925164338/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-27293478|url-status=live}}</ref> Welsh did not however confirm any kind of timeline for the film, unlike Boyle's comments about wanting the film to come out in 2016.

In a newspaper interview with ''[[The Scotsman]]'' on 17 November 2014, Welsh said that McGregor and Boyle had resolved their differences and had held meetings about the film, saying "I know Danny and Ewan are back in touch with each other again. There are others in the cast who've had a rocky road, but now also reconciled. With the ''Trainspotting'' sequel the attention is going to be even more intense this time round because the first was such a great movie—and Danny's such a colossus now. We're all protective of the ''Trainspotting'' legacy and we want to make a film that adds to that legacy and doesn't take away from it."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scotsman.com/what-s-on/film/trainspotting-sequel-looks-set-to-go-ahead-1-3607627|title=Trainspotting sequel looks set to go ahead|work=[[The Scotsman]]|access-date=15 June 2015|archive-date=30 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150630003407/http://www.scotsman.com/what-s-on/film/trainspotting-sequel-looks-set-to-go-ahead-1-3607627|url-status=live}}</ref>
