[Steven Spielberg](https://collider.com/steven-spielberg-movies-improv/), 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. “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.” Furthermore, the actor admitted the death of the original film’s director, Richard Donner, whom he described as the “captain of [their] ship” meant a sequel would not feel right. Now, he is set to star in the second season of the Disney+ series Loki, and will star in The Electric State alongside Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt after winning his first acting award for Everything Everywhere. Whilst the [Everything Everywhere All at Once](https://collider.com/critics-choice-awards-nominations-2022/) actor could not confirm a second movie would be happening, he spoke about numerous scripts having been written for a possible sequel. During the interview, Quan admitted that he felt reprising the role would set his career as an actor back on track.

And wouldn’t that be a nice little send-off to the character’s last swansong in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny? “When I started my career as a child actor in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, I felt so lucky to have been chosen. “If Disney or Lucasfilm ever come to me and say, ‘We want to do a Short Round spin-off,’ I’m there man! When asked on what Short Round might be up after Temple of Doom, Quan responded, “I have no idea where he is. They remembered that kid, and they gave me an opportunity to try again,” the 51-year-old shared. “I was raised to never forget where I came from and to always remember who gave me my first opportunity.
