Golden Globe winner Ke Huy Quan says he's 'open' to revisiting his 'Goonies' character Data in a sequel, should it come to pass.
Ke Huy Quan has revealed he would be open to reprising his The Goonies character, Data. Whilst the Everything Everywhere All at Once actor could not confirm a second movie would be happening, he spoke about numerous scripts having been written for a possible sequel.
During an interview at the Golden Globes on Tuesday , Quan revealed it has been a long-held dream to reprise his The Goonies role. “I really don’t know if there will be a Goonies 2,” Quan said at the awards ceremony, where he won Best Supporting Actor in a Musical or Comedy, “but I’m open to revisiting the character.” In the original film, which was released in 1985, Quan played James Bond fanatic and amateur gadget creator Richard ‘Data’ Wang.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Quan revealed that a sequel to the '80s hit has been in the works for over three decades, but a number of problems has seen it placed on the back burner. “For the last thirty-something years we tried to do Goonies 2,” Quan said, before admitting a sequel would not prove as successful as The Goonies. “We had numerous scripts, but not one script that felt that it could live up to the original.
Directed by the late Donner and produced by Steven Spielberg, The Goonies tells the story of a group of misfit teenagers living in the seaside town of Astoria, Oregon, known as the ‘Goon Docks.’ The group discovers a treasure map belonging to a seventeenth-century pirate, One-Eyed Willy, which they hope to use to save their homes from foreclosure. Unfortunately, a family of criminals who want the treasure for themselves soon give chase.
