Norton has stated that there indeed is a possibilty for the sequel. The filming crew enjoyed themselves very much throughout the production.
He has also stated that he believes that the movie helped a lot with making poker more popular and has inspired people like Chris Moneymaker to start playing poker.
Norton has also added that his nickname in the movie is still following him:"I haven’t been to Vegas in years, because everyone keeps shouting "Worm!" when they see me".
With Norton confirming the possibility of the sequel, fans are left to wonder when the movie could come out. The writer duo of the original movie, David Levien and Brian Koppelman have already developed the story of the sequel, but the owners of film rights, Miramax, sees no business opportunity in making the movie.
