Fans of this summer's box office smash The Inbetweeners Movie could be in for a treat, with the team behind the film rumoured to be planning a sequel already.

According to a number of reports, studio bosses have asked for a follow-up to the hit movie, which will see the friends reunited four years from now.

A production insider told The Mirror:

"Initially we said the characters and themes had reached a natural conclusion. But the success has been too big to ignore and it makes perfect sense to give the fans what they want.

"It would be much more viable than making an extra series because the characters have moved on, so that's what we're doing."

The source also claimed that the proposed film will see characters Will, Simon and Jay all come together for Neil's wedding, adding:

"The characters have all gone off and done different things but agree to hook up for his stag party and wedding."

The Inbetweeners Movie has taken over £27million at the box office, beating The Hangover 2 to bag the biggest opening weekend this year.

The film itself - an extension of the popular television series - follows the four friends as they go on their first lads holiday together to Malia, Crete.
