In a recent post, Astin showcased the fan art and declared that “it’s their time,” humorously encouraging Spielberg—who scripted the original film—to take action on the long-awaited sequel. The poster teases a potential title for the follow-up, “Goonies Are Good Enough,” along with a mock release date of 2026.
The artwork features a beam of light shining down above the film’s prospective title, evoking nostalgia with a nod to the iconic Cyndi Lauper song from the original 1985 soundtrack.
First hitting theaters in 1985, The Goonies, directed by Richard Donner, has captivated audiences with its blend of adventure and comedy, telling the story of a group of kids who embark on a treasure hunt to save their homes from being repossessed. With an ensemble cast including Astin, Josh Brolin, and Corey Feldman, the film became a cultural phenomenon and remains a beloved classic.
Notably, The Goonies was recognized for its cultural significance in 2017, earning a spot in the United States National Film Registry—a testament to its enduring legacy in American cinema.
