The Goonies fans issued a desperate plea on Monday after following the sequel announcement of a sequel.

The 1985 adventure-comedy has reportedly been given the green light for a second instalment – almost 40 years after the original – with its original star-studded cast set to return.

But while some fans were delighted at the prospect, others couldn’t help but feel they should have left the film alone.

Fans shared: ‘The Goonies is getting a sequel. I cannot express how much I hate this’; ‘God….. Not a Goonies Sequel now..’

‘But the whole appeal of Goonies is a bunch of kids going on an adventure with a treasure map. It’s something we all imagined doing as kids. If it turns into a bunch of weird or overweight adults going back to get some hidden treasure to pay off their bills, it’ll lose its magic.’

‘I feel sick they are gonna stuff this up so bad. I’m 42 and have loved the goonies all my life. Even my kids…19…15…11 (and by 2026, my 3yo will be 5) will want to see this, so hopefully they just do it right.’

Meanwhile, some were delighted writing: ‘I have never been so ecstatic and pumped a 2nd Goonies movie !!!!!! Yesssssss’; ‘There’s going to be a Goonies sequel in the works wow should be epic just like the original’; ‘Is it true… Spielberg is making a follow up to The Goonies? Excellent if it is.’

The 1985 beloved adventure-comedy film was directed by Richard Donner and produced by Steven Spielberg.

And now the cast is set to make an iconic return as production for the sequel could reportedly start next summer, according to The Sun.

The second film, which has now been given the ‘green light’ for production, could hit cinemas as soon as 2026.

A source said: ‘The Goonies reboot has been talked about for a long time but it’s finally been given the green light to go ahead.’

They added: ‘The plan is to start developing the ideas for the follow up next summer, with a possible release date of 2026 or 2027.

‘The original is so culturally significant, Warner Bros’ know they have to get it totally right.’

Production teams acknowledge the possibilities of where to take the sequel are ‘endless’ and the team are already excited to get started as they was to ‘bring the magic of the film to a whole new audience’.

The film, written by Chris Columbus, has become a classic hallmark of ’80s cinema, known for its mix of action, humor, and heart.

The film follows a group of kids from the ‘Goon Docks’ neighborhood in Astoria, Oregon, who discover an old treasure map in the attic of one of their homes.

This map leads them on a thrilling quest to find the long-lost treasure of One-Eyed Willy, a legendary 17th-century pirate.

Along the way, they must outsmart a family of criminals, the Fratellis, who are also after the treasure.

Not only will the sequels be an iconic throwback for decades of fans, but it was also be a huge throwback for the cast as many of the original members are said to star.
