There has been a lot of talk of a sequel to the much-loved 1985 film, which would bring the original cast back together for the first time.
And while there is currently no status on the film, Astin says it is a matter of when and not if.
Speaking to Tulsa World, the actor said: "I have said and will always say, that it's not a question of if, but rather of when the sequel gets made," he told Tulsa World.
"The precise makeup of it, I have no idea. Whether I will be in it, no idea. Whether they would even want the original cast in it, no idea. But it doesn't matter."
"It's bigger, it's actually bigger than everybody. It's bigger than even Steven [Spielberg], who created it. It's bigger than Richard Donner, who breathed such strong life into it.
"It's now a part of American cultural lore, and the studio has a lot to gain from promoting it, so you can take it to the bank that people will get to enjoy it more."
Astin took on the central role of Mikey in the film and was joined on the cast list by Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen, Kerri Green, Martha Plimpton, and Jonathan Ke Quan, while Richard Dormer was in the director's chair.
We are going to be seeing plenty of Astin over the next few months as he has finished work on movies Unleashed, Where the Bad Kids Go, Woodlawn and For All Eyes Always.
It remains to be seen when cameras may roll on the Goonies sequel.
