While promoting Miles Ahead, Ewan revealed that production is officially underway for Trainspotting 2 to start filming in May.

“The script only arrived very recently, which was really, really, really good. I think, if that had not happened, none of us would be into it,” Ewan told Collider. “I think we’re all sort of somewhat protective of what Trainspotting means to people, and what it means to us. None of us want to make a poor sequel to it. So had we not been presented with the most extraordinary script, which we were, I think we wouldn’t be making the sequel. But because we were, we are.”
