The Goonies sequel

Goonies 2: The Treasure Map Leads to a Dead End!

Martha Plimpton and Corey Feldman shut down 'The Goonies 2' rumors, leaving fans searching for the real treasure.

For an entire generation of movie lovers, the 1985 classic "The Goonies" holds a special place in their hearts. Following the escapades of a group of adventurous kids on a treasure hunt, the film created unforgettable memories and launched countless childhood dreams of becoming explorers. Recently, chatter about a sequel titled "The Goonies 2" rekindled those old fantasies. However, original cast members Martha Plimpton and Corey Feldman threw cold water on the fire, firmly stating that there is no sequel in the works.

During a recent interview, Martha Plimpton, who portrayed the loveable Stef, confirmed that fans shouldn’t hold their breath for a new adventure in the Goonies' world. Corey Feldman echoed her sentiments, insisting that despite the rumors, Warner Bros. Pictures is not planning a return to the franchise. "The Goonies never say die!" may have been their rallying cry in the film, but in reality, it seems their treasure maps lead to an empty chest – at least for now.

The duo’s denial is particularly disappointing for fans who have held onto the hope that they'd see the original gang of misfits back together, hunting for lost treasures and facing down the various foes that come with their exhilarating quests. The original cast included notable names like Josh Brolin and Ke Huy Quan, who helped bring the film's charm to life. Now, with the clock ticking and nearly 40 years since the first adventure, it’s hard to imagine a sequel capturing the same magic.

While old fans may mourn the loss of a potential reunion, they can at least reminisce through the timeless quotes and comic antics of the original movie. In fact, did you know that "The Goonies" was directed by Richard Donner and is regarded as one of the best adventure films of the 80s? Another interesting tidbit: the film was such a cult hit that fans frequently visit Astoria, Oregon, where it was filmed, to explore the iconic locations seen in the movie!
