What a tease! Robert Carlyle has hinted that his beloved character - who is the focus of Irvine Welsh's 2016 book, The Blade Artist - will be back on cinema screens in a possible spin-off
Commenting on a possible trilogy, the Once Upon A Time star insisted he's up for starring in another flick.
'We've been talking about that, I am up for doing it,' he said. 'So maybe we ain't seen the end of Begbie just yet.'

Opening up about the new dimension to his character, he insisted that it was important to see his vulnerability and set up a possible third film centred on him.
He admitted: 'That is the first time you see maybe there is another side to this guy. There is something quite emotional about that.
'He's capable of feeling something more just rage, so I am pleased that that element of Begbie has been shown. And maybe that sets up another film in fact because Irvine Welsh has written The Blade Artist."

He divulged: 'It's been 20 years coming, it's been a long time coming. We always felt that we would do it, but as the years went by, you thought is this ever really going to happen.
