Although he hasn’t seen a final script yet, Quan revealed that everyone involved is really excited.<\/p>\n “I first heard about it when I saw Steven Spielberg at an event and he was so excited,” he told ComicBook.com<\/a>. “We try to do it, so let’s manifest it. I know we’ve 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’re really happy about it.”<\/p>\n The actor, who played Richard ‘Data’ Wang in the original movie, added: “I would love to revisit that character and go on another adventure with my Goonies brothers and sisters.”<\/p>\n Other original stars that could reprise their roles for the sequel include Josh Brolin, Sean Astin, Corey Feldman and Martha Plimpton, who back in the 80s played a bunch of teens and kids embarking on a treasure hunt to find pirate One-Eyed Willy’s long-lost treasure. None of them are currently cast in The Goonies 2, as the project is still in the writing stage.<\/p>\n In September, writer Potsy Ponciroli \u2013 taking over from co-writers Chris Columbus and Steven Spielberg, who now will serve as producers<\/a> \u2013 revealed the script is pretty much done<\/a>, saying: “I have turned in a first draft, which was very well received, and I’m on a second draft and I’m about 95% done with that, so we’re moving in the right direction.”<\/p>\n In an interview with GamesRadar+<\/a>, Columbus said he and Spielberg have “been toying around” with “Goonies ideas for 30-plus years,” and it seems it’s now finally coming to fruition.<\/p>\n The Goonies 2 does not yet have a release date.
