A sequel to The Goonies has been talked about for years, but it never seemed like it would really happen. However, Warner Bros. finally confirmed it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joblo.com\/the-goonies-2-writer\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">earlier this year<\/a>, tapping Potsy Ponciroli (Old Henry) to write the script.<\/p>\n<p>Ke Huy Quan, who played Richard \u201cData\u201d Wang in the original, is eager to return and offered an update on the sequel while speaking with <a href=\"https:\/\/comicbook.com\/movies\/news\/goonies-star-offers-major-sequel-update-and-fans-will-be-excited-exclusive\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ComicBook.com<\/a>. \u201cI first heard about it when I saw Steven Spielberg at an event and he was so excited,\u201d Quan said. \u201cWe try to do it, so let\u2019s manifest it. I know we\u2019ve been trying for the last 40 years, but I feel quite good about it. This time, Chris Columbus and Spielberg are developing it, we have an incredible writer. I mean, I read he turned in the second draft and they\u2019re really happy about it. I was telling Fortune (Feimster, Zootopia 2 co-star), I said we\u2019re gonna do it. I want her to be in it.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Quan added, \u201cI would love to revisit that character and go on another adventure with my Goonies brothers and sisters.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>        Related<br \/>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joblo.com\/the-goonies-lego-set\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n            The Goonies LEGO set is good \u2014 and big \u2014 enough for us        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Original screenwriter Chris Columbus is on board as a producer, as is Steven Spielberg, but this feels like one of those projects that can\u2019t hope to live up to 40 years\u2019 worth of hype. The original is so beloved among fans that new generations continue to discover the heart-warming adventure. Much like original star Josh Brolin, I\u2019m a little apprehensive.  \u201cI hope it does [happen] because the experience was so great. The movie is received so well, generation after generation. It\u2019s just everything good about it. The trepidation that I have is that you release something else that taints that. I don\u2019t want to taint what my memory of it [is],\u201d Brolin said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joblo.com\/josh-brolin-on-goonies-sequel\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">earlier this year<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, we came out with another,\u2019 and then the Goonies grew up, and then they came out with their walkers and then they fell off a cliff because they couldn\u2019t see very well. What are you going to do? I don\u2019t know.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think?
