Everything Everywhere All at Once star Ke Huy Quan recently expressed interest in a sequel to The Goonies.

In an interview with Deadline, Quan revealed that he was open to playing Data again in The Goonies 2 but is uncertain about the sequel's future. "Sadly, we lost Dick Donner, the captain of our ship," he said. "I really don't know if there will be a Goonies 2, but I'm open to revisiting the character." In 2014, Donner, The Goonies director, confirmed an in-development sequel but tragically passed away in 2021 at 91 years old.

Before joining the cast of The Goonies, Quan made his film debut as Short Round in 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Both films made a lifelong impact on the 51-year-old actor. In fact, Jeff Cohen, who played Chunk in the treasure-hunting film, helped land Quan a role in Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert's absurdist movie Everything Everywhere All at Once. "When the producer of Everything Everywhere All at Once was trying to make my deal, he said he never imagined that he'd have to talk to Chunk and Data for his movie," Quan said.

The Goonies

While Quan is interested in reprising Data, Corey Feldman spoke out against the idea of a Goonies remake. Feldman, who played Mouth in the 1985 film, revealed that a potential Goonies reboot should be less like 2016's Ghostbusters and more like Top Gun: Maverick.

Released in 1985, The Goonies follows a group of kids living in the "Goon Docks," who discover an ancient treasure map. The treasure map causes the friends to go on an adventure to locate the riches of One-Eye Willy, which could prevent their houses from going into foreclosure. However, the greedy Fratelli family thwarts their plans. In addition to Quan, Feldman and Cohen, The Goonies stars Sean Astin, Josh Brolin and Joe Pantoliano.

After Quan's childhood acting fame, he struggled to find work in the film industry. Inspired by the success of Crazy Rich Asians, Quan reentered the spotlight with his role as Waymond Wang in Everything Everywhere All at Once. At 2023's Golden Globes, he became the second actor of Asian descent to win Best Supporting Actor. The first was Haing S. Ngor for 1985's The Killing Fields. In his speech, Quan graciously thanked Steven Spielberg for giving him his first job in Temple of Doom.
