Original Cast Debunks New Reports of a GOONIES 2 Sequel Movie

by

As a devoted fan who grew up with my VHS copy of The Goonies worn out from countless rewinds and replays, I must admit that the recent rumors of a sequel have sent me on an emotional rollercoaster. From Sean Astin’s cryptic tweet to Martha Plimpton and Corey Feldman’s denials, I’ve been left feeling like Chunk trying to navigate the Goon Docks – unsure and slightly nauseous.

Speculation about a sequel to “The Goonies” has been buzzing for quite some time. Recently, there’s been a resurgence of talk as multiple online articles suggest that “Goonies 2” has already received the go-ahead. To fan the flames further, original “Goonies” actor Sean Astin shared this on his social media:

It’s our time.

C’mon Steven…

For the moment, let’s dampen those rumors a bit. According to Variety, two original cast members have refuted claims about a Goonies 2 sequel movie. They are sharing this news with fans through their social media platforms. Martha Plimpton was the first to speak up on Instagram.

Folks, I regret to inform you that there isn’t a script for the sequel of “The Goonies,” and no one is currently attached to it. Steven Spielberg isn’t directing it, so let’s put those dreams aside. However, what definitely exists is the importance of verifying your registration and casting your vote!

As a die-hard fan, I’ve got some news to share: Just like me, Corey Feldman, one of the original stars from the iconic ’80s movie “Goonies,” has shared that he doesn’t have a clue about a “Goonies” sequel. So, it seems like two main cast members are putting the brakes on this popular rumor about “Goonies 2”. Next year marks the 40th anniversary of the film, which makes 2025 an ideal release year if they were planning something. But here’s the catch: If they wanted to make it happen, they’d need to start filming now, and that definitely isn’t the case.

Speculation about a sequel to the popular film “The Goonies” gained significant momentum in 2014 when Sean Astin expressed his confidence, saying “I’m 100% certain there will be a sequel. I would even wager my children on it.” However, since then, the original director of The Goonies, Richard Donner, has sadly passed away, and Steven Spielberg has been concentrating more on serious projects rather than popcorn movies. Additionally, the financial demands of original cast members such as Ke Huy Quan and Josh Brolin have likely increased significantly. Despite the success of recent films like Beetlejuice 2, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Top Gun: Maverick, and other ’80s classics at the box office, it seems that Warner Bros. may not be moving forward with The Goonies 2, leaving fans to continue hoping for its release.
