Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, James Buckley and Blake Harrison, will allegedly be back on the big screen after the storming success of the first film, which broke box office records.
A source has told The Daily 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 first movie revolved around the boys going on a lads' holiday in Malia, Crete, and the sequel will take place four years as the pals reunite for Neil's wedding.
'The characters have all gone off and done different things but agree to hook up for his stag party and wedding,' the insider added.
But co-writer Iain Morris has denied the claims on his Twitter page and says the story in The Daily Mirror is the first he's heard of any sequel.
Before the film was released the cast all claimed the movie would be the last we saw of Will, Simon, Jay and Neil and the end of the popular TV series.
Buckley, who plays Jay, said in an interview with Metro.co.uk: 'No one wants to see The Inbetweeners older and mature. I think it's got to be the end of the Inbetweeners which is really sad.'
Bird, who stars as Will added: ''I don't think anyone's thinking of a sequel yet - that only becomes a viable option if the first one is a smash hit so we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.'
Since then the film has become the fastest-grossing live action comedy of all time raking in £27 million at the box office.

Hopefully they do end up making it, because of the record they broke
