The Goonies fans are all making the same impassioned plea after the sequel announcement sends social media into a frenzy

Goonies fans made a desperate plea Monday after a sequel was announced.

The 1985 adventure comedy has reportedly been greenlit for a second installment, set nearly 40 years after the original, and will see the original all-star cast return.

But while some fans were happy with the prospect, others felt the film should have been left alone.

Some Goonies fans were outraged at the thought of X, saying they would “not like it at all” if there was a sequel.

Fans shared: ‘The Goonies is getting a sequel. I can’t express how much I hate this’; ‘God….. No sequel to the Goonies now..’

Others added: ‘A Goonies sequel?? My tent is at the “please leave a great thing alone” campsite but if they make it I think I’ll watch it. Please PLEASE be nice’; ‘Don’t they even dare remake The Goonies! Don’t even touch it. That movie is timeless!’;

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

“I’m sick to my stomach that they’re going to screw this up so badly. I’m 42 and I’ve loved the Goonies my whole life. Even my kids…19…15…11 (and my 3 year old will be 5 in 2026) want to see this, so hopefully they’ll just do it right.”

Meanwhile, some wrote excitedly: ‘I have never been so happy and excited about a 2nd Goonies movie!!!!!! Yeeeeeeess …

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

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

The second film, which has now been greenlit for production, could hit theaters as early as 2026.

A source said: ‘There has been talk of a Goonies reboot for a long time, but it has finally been greenlit.’

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

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

“The original is so culturally important that Warner Bros. knows they have to get it absolutely right.”

Production teams acknowledge that the possibilities for the sequel are “endless” and the team is already excited to get started, as is “bringing the magic of the film to a whole new audience.”

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

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

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

Along the way, they must outsmart a criminal family, the Fratellis, who are also looking for the treasure.

Not only do the sequels represent an iconic throwback to the past for decades of fans, but it’s also a huge throwback to the past for the cast, as many of the original members are reportedly starring in lead roles.

Mikey Walsh, played by Sean Astin, was the optimistic leader of the Goonies and was determined to save his house from foreclosure by finding the treasure.

Brand Walsh, played by Josh Brolin, was Mikey’s older brother, who was reluctantly dragged into the adventure.

Chunk – played by Jeff Cohen – was the clumsy but beloved friend of the group, known for his “Truffle Shuffle” dance.

Mouth, played by Corey Feldman, was a funny group member with a flair for trouble.

Data – portrayed by Ke Huy Quan – was a gadget enthusiast who used his inventions to help the group escape from dangerous situations.

And the iconic Sloth – played by John Matuszak – was the misunderstood, gentle giant and deformed son of the Fratelli family, who becomes an ally of the Goonies.

Former NFL star John passed away in 1989 at the age of 38 and is forever immortalized in Hollywood history, thanks to his legendary catchphrase: “Hey you guys!”.

Since its release, the film has achieved cult status and remains a nostalgic favorite for many who grew up in the 80s.

Iconic scenes like the Truffle Shuffle and lines like “Goonies never say die!” have given the film a permanent place in pop culture.

The film also launched the careers of several actors, including Sean and Josh.

The film’s legacy continues through fan events, merchandise and regular screenings, particularly in Astoria, where the film was shot.
