Josh Brolin Explains Why He's Uncertain About A Sequel To 'The Goonies'
'If they [the Russo Brothers] called me in London right now and said, 'Let's do this,' I'd be like, 'I'll be there tomorrow,'' Brolin said of his time as the Big Bad in movies Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
Speaking more broadly to the filmmaking duo's helming of 2026's upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, Brolin said: 'Of course they're gonna come up with something really fun. I mean, who knows? That [Endgame] was a 10-year and a building kind of thing and that was its own bookended deal, and I don't know what they're gonna do, but I'm sure it'll be interesting.'
To that end, Brolin pointed out that the original role of the havoc-wreaking Thanos was supposed to be a one-off cameo, before it blossomed into a full-blown antagonist for the squad of intergalactic Marvel superheroes.
Speaking to his other projects, the Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery actor previewed that Dune: Part Three has a 'super good' script and provides a worthy conclusion to the Denis Villeneuve film trilogy 'in a big way.'
'I just talked to one of the heads at Warner Bros. and they're very, very excited in a visceral way. It's good. I said something like, 'I heard dailies are really good.' And he goes, 'How do you know?'' Brolin said, joking about his limited role in the threequel.
Elsewhere, the Oscar nominee added that he recently heard talk of a followup to 2015's Sicario and 2018's Sicario: Day of the Soldado, which he called 'very, very real,' though the actor had no further information to share.

This buddy cop comedy is one of three Netflix action movies you need to watch (August 2025)
This month on Netflix, we're spotlighting the action comedy. What's better than mixing in a few laughs with some fight scenes and explosions? Our first movie features an actor — the funniest man alive — reprising a legendary role in Beverly Hills. Our second pick is a buddy cop movie from the '90s featuring an indelible duo. Finally, we're taking you back to 1980 to experience some blues music. All three action movies are now streaming on Netflix. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, and the best movies on Amazon Prime Video. Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024) More often than not, legacy sequels fail to recapture the magic of their predecessor. Look no further than Space Jam: A New Legacy, Zoolander 2, The Exorcist: Believer, and Jaws: The Revenge as examples. Luckily for the Beverly Hills Cop franchise, it has Eddie Murphy, who reprised his iconic role as Axel Foley in the surprisingly effective fourth outing, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. When Axel Foley (Murphy) heads back to Los Angeles, it's personal. He's looking to reconnect with his daughter, Jane Saunders (Taylour Paige), a defense attorney. When a criminal organization zeroes in on Jane, Axel teams with her ex-boyfriend (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and his two old friends, Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton), to protect his daughter. You can't fake charisma, and when Murphy slips back into Axel's fast-talking ways, the movie soars. Stream Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F on Netflix. Rush Hour (1998) I'm unaware of the national consensus on Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker as a buddy cop duo. For me, they're top draft picks. The martial arts star and the comedic lightning rod joined forces in 1998's Rush Hour. After the kidnapping of a Chinese diplomat's daughter, Hong Kong Detective Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) travels to America to work the case. However, the FBI does not want Lee to be involved, so they assign him to be the LAPD's problem. Enter Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker), the obnoxious and smooth-talking cop tasked with babysitting Lee. Lee and Carter initially hate each other. However, the duo realizes that their best chance of saving the little girl is to work together. From Chan's extravagant fight choreography to Carter's crisp one-liners, Rush Hour is a classic '90s comedy that remains a gold standard for chemistry between co-stars. Stream Rush Hour on Netflix. The Blues Brothers (1980) With elaborate car chases and thunderous explosions, The Blues Brothers is most definitely an action comedy. John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd star as Jake and Elwood, the Blues Brothers, based on their excellent sketch from Saturday Night Live. After being released from jail, Jake reunites with Elwood and checks in on the Catholic orphanage that raised them. Unfortunately, the orphanage will close unless they pay $5,000 in property taxes. After an epiphany, Jake and Elwood decide to reform their band, the Blues Brothers, and organize a concert to raise money. Along the way, the Blues Brothers are chased by Neo-Nazis, rival bands, police, and a sadistic woman. The music is great, the chases are exciting, and the laughs are nonstop. What more could you want? Stream Blues Brothers on Netflix.

The Ultimate Post-Summer Hair Recovery Is In The Cotswolds
The rolling hills and honey-colored stone villages of the Cotswolds have long captivated visitors, but lately, this picturesque English countryside has become the ultimate celebrity escape. From Khloé Kardashian's social media posts showcasing Estelle Manor's charm to Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi recently listing their Kitesbridge Farm estate for $30 million, Americans are flocking to this idyllic destination. But beyond the Instagram-worthy villages, farm-to-table dining, and that liberating feeling of a getaway, the Cotswolds offers something unexpected for the summer-weary: exceptional hair recovery treatments. The Summer Hair Damage Dilemma Summer may bring sun-kissed memories, but it leaves our hair telling a different story. The season's triple threat of UV rays, chlorine, and saltwater creates a perfect storm of damage that goes far deeper than surface-level dryness. "After a summer of sun, salt and chlorine, your hair and your scalp can feel parched and stressed. Much like your skin, your scalp suffers from exposure, often resulting in dryness, sensitivity and an overall lack of vitality. That's why our first step is always to care for the scalp," explains Nataša Brajović, hairdresser at Andrew Jose in London. The science behind summer hair damage is sobering. Prolonged exposure to the sun's UVA and UVB rays damages the hair cuticle, transforming shiny, lustrous locks into dull, brittle strands. For those with color-treated hair, the damage accelerates even faster. UV rays fade hair color extremely quickly and makes the hair feel straw-like. While at-home treatments can help, the damage often runs deeper than surface conditioning can address. Brett MacDonald, director at CULt. Hairdressing in London, draws from his Australian upbringing to offer practical advice. 'To prevent hair damage, use a sunscreen on hair just like you would skin and wear a hat. However, if damage has already been done, then weekly deep conditioning treatments are best to help the hair. It's best to leave the mask in for 4-6 hours to soften the hair or to use leave-in conditioners if you are at a beach,' he adds. Brajović also recommends a technique called "dusting" to maintain length while eliminating split ends. "This involves trimming only the very tips of the hair, removing damage without altering the overall shape or length. For most hair types, a dusting every 6-8 weeks keeps ends fresh and minimizes breakage, especially if you regularly use heat tools or spend time in the sun." However, when damage goes beyond what typical salon treatments can address, something more comprehensive is needed. Indulge In A 90-Minute Hair Renaissance Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, Dormy House Hotel and Spa offers something extraordinary: a 90-minute head spa treatment that goes far beyond conventional hair therapy. According to Sara Grundy, House Spa Manager, the treatment begins with a thorough scalp cleanse using Tabitha JK's naturally derived products, removing the buildup of styling products, excess oil, and environmental pollutants that can impede healthy hair growth. Custom-blended hair masks infused with botanical extracts, antioxidants, and proteins work to replenish moisture and strengthen damaged strands. These formulations restore elasticity, repair the cuticle, and seal split ends to address the most common issues following heat or chemical exposure. "During the Dormy Head Spa treatment, we use a number of products including a hair growth tonic based on the guest's concerns, scalp food oil infused with himalayan salt, a choice of organic hair oils, an amber rose body oil and magnesium foot crystals," explains Grundy in an interview. What sets this treatment apart is its holistic approach. The inclusion of magnesium, a natural muscle relaxant essential for regulating the nervous system, helps lower cortisol levels and ease muscle tension. Combined with acupressure massage techniques that balance energy and ease stress, the treatment creates a deeply restorative experience that addresses both the physical damage to hair and the mental exhaustion that often accompanies it. Plus, Grundy explains how the circular motion techniques used during the scalp massage increase blood circulation, reduce tension, and support lymphatic drainage which are all crucial for promoting healthy hair growth from the follicle level up. A Lifeline for Postpartum Hair Loss In an era where wellness tourism is thriving, Dormy House Spa represents the pinnacle of holistic hair and scalp care. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all treatments, each session is customized to individual needs, addressing specific concerns while providing the comprehensive care that summer-damaged hair desperately needs. That's why this treatment holds particular significance for postpartum women experiencing temporary hair thinning or loss due to hormonal shifts, stress, and physical exhaustion. The combination of targeted organic products and therapeutic scalp massage promotes long-term scalp health and encourages regrowth during this vulnerable period. For new mothers constantly on the go, the Cotswolds location isn't coincidental. The region's natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and distance from urban stress create the ideal environment for deep restoration. The spa's serene environment immediately calms the mind and revitalizes the spirit, further aiding in the postpartum healing process. Men, Too, Can Indulge In Hair Recovery Here Men aren't immune to summer hair damage either. Grundy notes that many men unknowingly carry tension in the scalp, neck, and jaw due to stress, screen time, or poor posture. The acupressure scalp massage helps ease this tension while improving blood flow to hair follicles, promoting healthy growth. The treatment's soothing formulations rebalance the scalp, gently exfoliate buildup, and deliver deep hydration to combat dryness. So, regardless of your gender, if you are looking to seek refuge in the English countryside and to indulge in a post-summer hair recovery, Dormy House offers both the setting and the expertise to truly reset your hair and scalp health.
