Josh Brolin Shares His Thoughts On A Possible Return For 'The Goonies 2'
Nearly four decades after The Goonies captured hearts with its thrilling adventure and unforgettable characters, rumors of a sequel are swirling again. With Warner Bros. reportedly bringing in a writer and Steven Spielberg attached as producer, the possibility of Goonies 2 feels closer than ever. But not everyone is ready to dive back into the treasure-hunting world of One-Eyed Willy—especially one key star.
A Classic That Stands the Test of Time
Since its 1985 release, The Goonies has remained a beloved staple of 1980s pop culture, blending humor, heart, and high-stakes adventure. The story of a group of misfit kids chasing pirate treasure resonated with audiences then and continues to inspire nostalgia today. The idea of a sequel has lingered for years, with fans eager to see what new adventures await.
Josh Brolin's Surprising Stance
Josh Brolin, who played the protective older brother Brand Walsh in the original film, has built an impressive career with roles in blockbusters like Avengers: Endgame and Dune. But when asked about returning for Goonies 2 during a recent interview with io9 to promote his upcoming film Weapons, Brolin didn't exactly jump at the chance.
'I would [have trepidations],' Brolin shared, reflecting on the idea of reprising his role as Brand.
Brolin's hesitation stems from his deep affection for the original. 'It's been 41 years. Let it lay,' he said, expressing concern that a sequel could overshadow the magic of the 1985 classic. He also questioned the idea of a reboot with new kids, suggesting it might 'taint' the original's legacy.
