The Scottish actress played schoolgirl Diane in the original film based on Irvine Welsh's novel, alongside Ewan McGregor.
Reports claim that plans are being made for Trainspotting 2, but director Danny Boyle has informed MacDonald that she will not be part of it if it goes ahead.
She said: "There have been rumours about it over the past few years. I bumped into Danny Boyle a few years ago, he was talking about it and he said Diane is not going to be in the sequel. So that's fine. Fine. He actually said that. I didn't bring it up."
But MacDonald, who got the part while she was still a waitress, has insisted that she is pleased she is not involved because she does not see the point of making a sequel.
The Nanny McPhee star told the Daily Record: "I don't mind. I don't really see the point in a sequel anyway so it takes the decision away from me."
