Over the past couple years, several members of the cast of 1985’s Goonies — Corey Feldman (“Dream a Little Dream”), Josh Brolin (“Guardians of the Galaxy”), and Sean Astin (“The Lord of the Rings”) — have expressed interest in reprising their roles in a much-rumored sequel, and in just the past year, Astin has boldly claimed that a sequel is a “lock” to happen. Goonies never say die!
On Friday, while appearing as a special guest at Phoenix Comicon 2016, Astin once again said Goonies 2 will happen, but this time, he revealed that the sequel will include another appearance from the famous one-eyed pirate.

“In the original Goonies, it’s not the only time Mikey will come face-to-face with One-Eyed Willy,” Austin revealed to the crowd (watch in the video above).
In the film, One-Eyed Willy was a 17th century pirate who, along with his crew and boat, which was filled with stolen treasure, got trapped in a cave in Astoria, Oregon. To guard his treasure, Willy setup elaborate booby traps.
The combined talents of two of today’s most prominent filmmakers – Academy Award, Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Steven Spielberg (“Munich,” “War of the Worlds”) and Richard Donner (“16 Blocks,” “Lethal Weapon”) — created this box office hit that delights the young and the young at heart. When a group of ordinary kids discover a secret treasure map, their sleepy seaport lives are suddenly transformed into a fun-filled, roller-coaster ride filled with heart-pounding adventure and peril.
