The Goonies’ Josh Brolin is joined by his co-stars Ke Huy Quan in a reunion to honour his work on Dune 2: Exposures at an LA exhibition

The Goonies cast reunited to support Brandon actor Josh Brolin at an exhibition celebrating his work at Leica in Los Angeles on Monday evening.

Josh, who played Brandon on the eighties hit, has written the prose in the book Dune 2: Exposures, which also includes candid set pH๏τography from Greig Fraser.

The actor was joined by his old cast mates Jeff Cohen, who played Chunk, and Data actor Ke Huy Quan in a sweet reunion to celebrate the book. 

The book explores the creation of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune through Josh’s writing and cinematographer Greig’s incredible images.

Josh, Jeff and Ke gathered together for some group sH๏τs, with the writer wrapping his arms around his two friends in a sweet display of affection.

The No Country for Old Men star was sporting a black and cream distressed leather jacket, over a grey T-shirt and scarf with a baseball cap.

Meanwhile, Jeff and Ke opted for smart white shirts and jackets for the occasion, with the Chunk actor adding a brown bowler at to his outfit.

They were joined at the event by Dune’s leading man Timothée Chalamet, who cut a cool figure in a black leather jacket and backwards cap.

Also in attendance was Dune director Denis Villeneuve and visual effects supervisor Paul Lambert.

It marks the second time this month that the cast reunited to show support for each other, as fans of the 1985 cult classic still hold out hope for a sequel.

Last week, Josh, Jeff, Corey Feldman (Mouth), Kerri Green (Andy) and Chris Columbus hit the red carpet gathered at the TLC Chinese Theater to celebrate Ke.

The camaraderie was undeniable, with each cast member wrapping Ke in warm hugs, and Jeff —now his entertainment lawyer—delivering an especially proud bear hug.

Though Sean Astin (Mikey) couldn’t be there in person, he’s already reunited with Ke on-screen, appearing in his latest film Love Hurts—proof that the Goonies spirit is as strong as ever in Hollywood.

The ceremony itself honoured Ke for his career, which began at just 12 years old in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and most recently culminated in his Oscar win for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

As the reunion sparked even more Goonies nostalgia, fans couldn’t help but wonder: Could there ever be another adventure for the gang?

Every few months, whispers of a sequel surface, only to be quickly shut down by the original cast—most recently, in September. 

A report claimed that The Goonies 2 would be filmed next summer with many of the original cast returning, but actors shut down the report.

‘People, there is no Goonies 2 script, there is no one ‘attached,’ Martha Plimpton wrote on Instagram. 

‘The Goonies may never die, but it seems that, for now, the treasure hunt will remain a part of the past.

‘[Steven] Spielberg is not directing, it’s not real.’ she added.

Corey Feldman said at the time that he had ‘no information’ whatsoever that a sequel was in development.

The last time the Goonies sequel buzz truly gained traction was back in 2014, when Variety reported that director Donner was attempting to reunite the original cast for The Goonies 2.

At the time, Sean Astin was incredibly optimistic, declaring, ‘The Goonies 2 will happen,’ and adding, ‘I’m 1,000 per cent certain there will be a sequel. I will bet my children on it.’

Sadly, producer Richard Donner pᴀssed away in 2021 at the age of 91, and with him went any hope of that reunion becoming a reality.

As for Jeff, in 2015, he revealed how losing his puppy fat was the end of his acting career.

The former child star – who is now a successful entertainment lawyer – was forced to quit Hollywood for good when he could no longer put himself forward for the ‘fat kid roles.’

‘There were basically about four fat kids in town, so every time there was a fat kid role you saw the same people at the audition,’ the 40-year-old attorney said.

‘It was survival of the fattest. But when I hit puberty, it was a career ender for me. I was transforming from Chunk to hunk and I couldn’t get roles any more.’

Jeff continued: ‘It was terrible. My first love was acting but puberty had other ideas. It was a forced retirement. I didn’t give up acting. Acting gave me up.’

The beloved Goonies centers on a group of kids who stumble upon a long-lost treasure map and embark on a daring quest to find the fortune of the notorious pirate One-Eyed Willy—only to be chased by a family of criminals intent on stealing the treasure for themselves. 

Produced by Spielberg, the film became an instant classic and remains a staple of 80s cinema.

The Goonies may never die, but it seems that, for now, the treasure hunt will remain a part of the past.
