Unfortunately, it seems like the highly-anticipated sequel to the beloved film, The Goonies, might not be happening after all. Fans of the 1985 cult classic will be disappointed to hear that one of the movie's stars has already shut down talks of a follow-up.
For those who haven't seen it (although, let's be real, who hasn't?), The Goonies follows a group of kids who stumble upon a treasure map in their own neighborhood, leading them on an epic adventure. It's no wonder that it's considered one of the best films of all time.
Recently, there were rumors that a sequel had been given the green light and was set to start production next year. However, actor Robert Davi, who played the villain Jake Fratelli, has set the record straight by stating that a sequel is not happening at the moment.
In an interview with the Mirror, Davi said, "Let me put it this way. I think it's just another rumor that has been going on for decades. We did get some word that it was not happening but, we'll see. I hate to let Goonies fans down, but the intel that I had is that it is not happening, but who knows?"
But it's not all bad news. Davi also mentioned that he thinks the recent rumors may have just been someone "testing the waters" for a potential new film. And despite the mixed reactions from fans about a sequel, he believes that "everybody" would be keen to reunite for another Goonies adventure.
He did acknowledge the risk of bringing back such an iconic franchise, saying, "Fans don't want to see something that they love touched and then taint the initial taste. You know what I mean? There's always a danger in that when a sequel isn't as good as the original."
One of the concerns fans have raised about a sequel is how they would handle the absence of Sloth, a beloved character played by John Matuszak who passed away in 1989. However, Davi doesn't see it as a major issue and suggests there are two ways it could be approached.
"He could have gotten plastic surgery extensively. Who knows? Or he could expire. There are different ways that could be handled, but who knows what's best, he was such a loved character," Davi pondered.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding a sequel, one thing is for sure – The Goonies will always hold a special place in the hearts of fans. And if you have any celebrity news, videos, or pictures, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We'd love to hear from you!
