The Hangover's lead actors have reportedly requested significant pay rises to appear in a third instalment in the series.
Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms are thought to be close to agreeing $15 million (£9.5m) deals to appear in The Hangover III, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Hangover, released in 2009, had a budget of around $35 million (£22m) with the starring cast bagging $1 million (£619,000) each. The R-rated comedy took more than $467 million (£298m) worldwide, resulting in more lucrative deals for the actors when its sequel was greenlit.
Cooper, Galifianakis and Helms came away with $5 million (£3m) each from The Hangover Part II, which raked in $581 million (£371) at the box office.
Warner Bros is planning to shoot The Hangover III in Los Angeles this summer. Reports suggest that the next entry in the series will deviate from the formula of its predecessors.
The Hangover III is scheduled for a Memorial Day (May 27) 2013 release.
