Will Trans Ally Martha Plimpton Return to The Goonies follow-up?

Another star from The Goonies is Martha Plimpton, who is an outspoken transgender supporter.

The 53-year-old actress has been advocating for trans rights for years, but in 2021 she posted a lengthy message expressing her fierce support.

“You know what? Every f***in’ day is Trans Visibility Day in my heart,” Plimpton wrote on Facebook.

“I will never, never, never, no, never, understand why certain feminists are afraid of transgender people.

“To me, my trans friends are examples of bravery, courage and truth in the face of injustice and ridicule.”

Plimpton concludes: “I share these values, beliefs and hopes with every single human being on the planet, no matter how the hell they identify, and there is nothing more Feminist with a capital F than standing up for my brothers, sisters and others in the fight for EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW, and RESPECT FROM ALL.”

While the news of a sequel is exciting, Plimpton has previously debunked rumors of such developments.

In 2016, a Reddit AMA stated that the chances of Goonies 2 being released were slim.

“It’s been talked about for decades, but I don’t think it’s going to happen,” she wrote.

“At least, as far as I know. I think (director) Dick Donner, who is a brilliantly funny man, likes to torture us all with the prospect. I believe it’s his revenge for the fact that he was tortured by all of us for 6 months in 1984.”

Donner has enjoyed teasing the possibility of Goonies 2 in recent years. In 2014, he told TMZ that he and producer Steven Spielberg were reassembling the entire cast.
