Huy Quan has his 'hopes up' for 'Goonies' sequel, shares update

Ke Huy Quan says a “Goonies” sequel is still in development, though details remain scarce. Quan, who played Data in the 1985 film, told USA TODAY that Steven Spielberg confirmed to him the project is ongoing. In early 2025, Warner Bros. hired a writer for the sequel, with Spielberg and producers Kristie Macosko Krieger and Holly Bario, and Chris Columbus—who wrote the original—also involved. Quan’s memoir, “Never Say Die,” launches in September. He also referenced a November 2025? update: in August 2025, writer Potsy Ponciroli said his first draft was well received at the Venice Film Festival.
