The classic film *The Goonies* is getting a sequel after 40 years — with many of the original stars set to make their return.
Production could kick off next summer, with the film expected to hit cinemas in either 2026 or 2027.
A source revealed: “The Goonies reboot has been in discussion for a long time, but it’s finally been given the green light to move forward.
“The plan is to begin developing ideas for the follow-up next summer, with a potential release date in 2026 or 2027.
“The original is so culturally significant, Warner Bros. knows they need to get everything just right.
“There’s a good chance that major stars from the original cast will return, but the possibilities for the sequel’s direction are endless.
“The team that will be working on this project is thrilled to get started.
“It’s still early days, but with the youth adventure genre currently booming, they’re eager to capitalize on that momentum.
“*The Goonies* is now 39 years old, and the idea of bringing the magic of the film to an entirely new audience has the team very excited.”
The 1985 original, based on a story by Steven Spielberg, followed the treasure-hunting adventures of a group of kids from Goon Docks in Astoria, Oregon.
Their motto was: “Goonies never say die.”
The film starred Sean Astin and Corey Feldman, both now 53, as Mikey and Mouth, with Josh Brolin, 56, playing Mikey’s older brother Brand.
Jeff Cohen, 50, who portrayed Chunk, is now an entertainment lawyer, while Ke Huy Quan, 53, who played Data, won an Oscar in 2023 for *Everything Everywhere All At Once* after a nearly 30-year hiatus from acting.
Ex-NFL star John Matuszak, who passed away in 1989 at the age of 38, played the deformed Sloth, known for his iconic catchphrase: “Hey you guys!”
