Dermot Mulroney was part of a rare Young Guns reunion in Dallas on Saturday, September 12, with the cast gathering again on Sunday, September 13. The sighting brought Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen, Lou Diamond Phillips, Casey Siemaszko, and Kiefer Sutherland back together at Fan Expo Dallas.
Lou Diamond Phillips turned the moment into the sharpest line of the weekend, posting a reunion photo and captioning it, “F'ing Epic!” One fan called it, “Just what our world needed tonight— 😁🥰❤️,” while another wrote, “Aging like fine wine! Bunch of good looking men there!”
Fan Expo Dallas reunion
The six-man photo matters because Young Guns has stayed unusually durable for a film that critics mostly panned when it arrived in August 1988. Audiences pushed it into a success strong enough to send Young Guns 2 into theaters in 1990, and that history gave the Dallas gathering a built-in audience beyond the convention floor.
That scale also explains why the posts moved fast online. Kenan Thompson responded on one post with seven fire emoji, and fans piled into the comments as the group photos circulated. Dermot Mulroney departure details from another project also underline how closely readers track his screen work; here, the Dallas appearance was the sharper draw because it put six Young Guns names in one frame.
Young Guns 3 in early 2025
The reunion also reopened the old tension around Young Guns 3: Dead or Alive. In early 2025, Emilio Estevez said the film was in the works, said it would be filmed in Mexico like the first two movies, and said Lou Diamond Phillips and Christian Slater had already signed on to co-star; he even joked that the title might need to become “Old Guns.”
Since then, there has been no word about whether that project is still moving ahead, which makes the Dallas photos more than a nostalgia post. The cast can still generate attention on its own, but the real unresolved story is whether those reunion smiles turn into an actual production update. Dermot Mulroney's Chicago Fire exit is the sort of separate TV turn that keeps his name in circulation, yet the movie question around Young Guns 3 is the one this weekend revived most forcefully.
For now, the practical read is simple: the franchise still has enough pull to get six of its names into one room, and enough online response to make another sequel feel plausible without making it real. Until a new announcement lands, Dallas is the proof of interest, not proof of a green light.
