Goonies fans are all making the same passionate appeal after the announcement of a sequel sends social media into overdrive

Goonies fans made a desperate appeal on Monday after the sequel was announced.

The 1985 adventure comedy has reportedly been given the green light for a sequel – almost 40 years after the original – and the original star cast is set to return.

But while some fans were excited about the prospect, others couldn’t help but feel like they should have stayed away from the film.

When some Goonies fans expressed their thoughts on “X,” they became enraged at the thought of it, saying they would “hate” it if there was a sequel.

Fans shared: “The Goonies is getting a sequel. I can’t express how much I hate this.”; “God… Now there’s no Goonies sequel…”

Others added: “A sequel to The Goonies?? My tent is in the campground where they say ‘please leave something this great alone’ but if they make it I’ll watch it. But please, PLEASE be a good boy.”; “Don’t they dare remake The Goonies! Don’t even touch it. This film is timeless!”;

“But the whole appeal of ‘Goonies’ is a group of kids going on an adventure with a treasure map. That’s something we all imagined as kids. When it turns into a group of weird or overweight adults going back to get a hidden treasure to pay their bills, it loses its magic.”

“I’m sick of the fact that they’re going to screw this up like that. I’m 42 and I’ve loved the Goonies my whole life. Even my kids… 19… 15… 11 (and in 2026 my three-year-old will be five) are going to want to see this, so let’s hope they just do it right.”

Others wrote with delight: “I have never been so excited and looking forward to a second Goonies movie!!!!!! Yeeeeees”; “There’s a sequel to The Goonies in the works, wow, should be just as epic as the original”; “Is it true…Spielberg is making a sequel to The Goonies? If so, that would be great.”

The popular 1985 adventure comedy was directed by Richard Donner and produced by Steven Spielberg.

And now the cast is set to make a legendary return, as production on the sequel could begin next summer, according to The Sun.

The second film, whose production has now been given the green light, could hit theaters as early as 2026.

A source said: “The Goonies reboot has been talked about for a long time, but now it has finally been given the green light.”

But while some fans were excited about the prospect, others couldn't help but feel they should have left the film alone.

They added: “The plan is to start developing ideas for the sequel next summer, with a possible release date in 2026 or 2027.”

“The original is of such cultural significance that Warner Bros. knows they have to get it absolutely right.”

The production teams admit that the sequel is “endless” and can’t wait to get started as they want to “bring the magic of the film to a whole new audience.”

Written by Chris Columbus, the film has become a classic of 80s cinema and is known for its mix of action, humor and heart.

The film is about a group of children from the Goon Docks neighborhood in Astoria, Oregon, who discover an old treasure map in the attic of one of their houses.

This map takes you on an exciting search for the long-lost treasure of One-Eyed Willy, a legendary pirate from the 17th century.

Along the way, they must outwit a crime family, the Fratellis, who are also after the treasure.

The sequels will not only be an iconic reminder of the past for decades-long fans, but also a massive throwback for the cast, as many of the original members are set to star.
