The Astonishing Ant-Man

Ant-Man (Henry Pym)

Many viewers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films got their first dose of Ant-Man on screen in the 2015 film Ant-Man. However, for many comic book readers, the character has been a part of the Marvel Comics universe since the 1960s. First appearing in the anthology Tales to Astonish #27 as Dr. Henry &quot;Hank&quot; Pym, readers learned about his story in &quot;The Man in the Ant Hill.&quot; From there, the character reappeared in &quot;Return of the Ant-Man&quot; in Tales to Astonish #35 as Ant-Man.

Pym appeared in the series along with the Wasp in Tales to Astonish #44. And they both became members of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-dream-avengers-line-up" target="_blank">Avengers</a> in The Avengers&nbsp;#1. Pym&#39;s history in the comics has been plagued with mental illness and instability, self-esteem issues, multiple personas, and an infamous instance of abuse. Learn more about the complicated comic history of the original Ant-Man, Hank Pym.&nbsp;

Jada Pinkett Smith

Any mention&nbsp;of the names &quot;Will and Jada&quot; will immediately conjure images of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.&nbsp;Between Smith&#39;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/will-smith-movies-and-films-and-filmography/reference" target="_blank">blockbuster TV and movie career</a> and Pinkett Smith&#39;s solid movie and television resume, the couple&#39;s star power is astonishing.

In 1997, the couple wed, surrounded by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-friends-of-will-smith/abbey-grantham" target="_blank">friends</a> and family.

'The OC' Cast: Where Are They Now?

It&rsquo;s been over 20 years since the girl group 3LW (short for Three Little Women) debuted on the music scene as&nbsp;R&amp;B&nbsp;pop sensations. The original lineup was Adrienne Bailon, Kiely Williams, and Naturi Naughton, whose album&nbsp;No More (Baby I&#39;ma Do Right)&nbsp;jump-started their career&nbsp;in 1999. They followed their 1999 success with the 2001 single &quot;Playas Gon&#39; Play,&quot;&nbsp;proving they would not end up as just another <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/girl-group-bands-and-artists/reference" target="_blank">girl group</a> with only one&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/one-hit-wonders-from-the-2000s/cehudspeth" target="_blank">early 2000s&nbsp;hit</a>.&nbsp;Still, decades later, fans of the Three Little Women wonder: where is 3LW today?&nbsp;

Drama brewed among the stars, and Naughton ended up leaving the group before the release of their next album, A Girl Can Mack. Continuing as a duo, Williams and Bailon eventually found&nbsp;Jessica Benson, who took over in place of Naughton. The new&nbsp;3LW continued to make music until disbanding in 2007.&nbsp;Although Benson has maintained her privacy&nbsp;since leaving the group, the original three members have been hard at work crafting successful careers as actresses, hosts, writers, and solo artists. Read on to find out what happened to the former pop sensation 3LW.

Pete Davidson

The relationship between Kate Beckinsale and Pete Davidson has been plagued by controversy from the very beginning. Davidson already had a tabloid-filled history before their relationship began,&nbsp;and&nbsp;his very public breakup with Ariana Grande made for big news in gossip&nbsp;magazines. Since her divorce in 2017, Beckinsale has had a few short-lived relationships.

Rumors of a relationship between Beckinsale and Davidson began back in January 2019 with little evidence they were a real couple. The most significant controversy surrounding their romance was the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-couples-with-greatest-age-difference/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">notable age difference</a> between the two stars:&nbsp;Beckinsale is 20 years older than Davidson. Despite their differences, they officially went public as a couple in March 2019. Even in such a short amount of time, this couple has had quite an interesting and entertaining journey.

Draco Malfoy

Although most Harry Potter fans find Draco Malfoy to be an arrogant, selfish, and hateful villain, there are Draco apologists who feel otherwise&nbsp;and have found positive points to his character. A growing number of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/harry-potter-fan-theories/lisa-waugh" target="_blank">Harry Potter fan theories</a>&nbsp;online point&nbsp;out an alternative view&nbsp;concerning Draco&rsquo;s personality and intentions.

Daniel Stern

Since its release in 1990, Home Alone has become a fixture in pop culture. Between the memorable lines and the hilarious booby traps set by Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), the film has stood the test of time as a family favorite. Fans often rewatch the movie around&nbsp;the holidays, and it&rsquo;s a perfect <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-rainy-day-movies-v1/ranker-film" target="_blank">rainy day movie</a>, as it&rsquo;s pretty much guaranteed to leave you smiling. The&nbsp;film spawned a five-movie franchise, with the final film&nbsp;premiering on ABC Family in&nbsp;2012.

Many of the Home Alone&nbsp;stars have gone on to great success. However, some&nbsp;fans have wondered what happened to Daniel Stern, who garnered big laughs as the bumbling burglar&nbsp;Marv. Once his Home Alone&nbsp;days came to an end, Stern continued acting in comedy shows and movies, and even tried his hand at directing. He also started&nbsp;giving back to the community by volunteering and opening a Boys &amp; Girls Club in Malibu, CA. The actor even took up sculpting as a hobby, and has shown pieces throughout the Southern California area. All in all, Stern has definitely stayed busy, even if he never managed to make off with a trove of riches from Duncan&#39;s Toy Chest.&nbsp;

Just a few mind-blowing and potentially life-changing fan theories to consider while thinking about your favorite TV shows, films, franchises, and universes. 

Pop Culture Fan Theories

As they say in well-written scripts, "You mean... like time travel?" + also a few bizarre stories about real people who have claimed, despite every law of physics, they have traveled through time.

Travelin' Through Time

Time-travelin' through the '80s franchise that features Marty McFly, Doc Brown, Biff Tannen, Crispin Glover, a DeLorean, a flux capacitor, a hoverboard, a dog named Einstein, and a Part III you probably don't even remember.

Gotta Get Back in Time

Back to the Future Franchise

Thanks to the series&#39; place in pop culture and the nature of the franchise, Back to the Future trilogy theories have popped up across the internet for years. It&#39;s no wonder&nbsp;Back to the Future is often&nbsp;regarded as one of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-80_s-movies" target="_blank">best &#39;80s movies</a>. Fans have written a George McFly theory about his belief that Marty is an alien, a Lorraine Baines theory about her dark past with Biff, and countless others. Although casual viewers may be unaware of this vast underworld, many passionate&nbsp;Back to the Future fans regularly comb the pages of Reddit to find the best Biff Tannen theory or dark Doc Brown theory.

Some of the most innovative notions use elements that occurred behind the scenes&nbsp;of the films, ultimately claiming them as canon. For example, one Marty McFly theory hypothesizes that actor Eric Stoltz - Marty&#39;s original actor who was ultimately&nbsp;replaced by Michael J. Fox -&nbsp;actually existed in the Back to the Future timeline.&nbsp;On a <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-rainy-day-movies-v1/ranker-film" target="_blank">rainy day</a>, try rewatching the Back to the Future films and see if the following fan theories hold water.

The Craft

Anyone who grew up in the &#39;90s probably has some memory of&nbsp;The Craft. This witchy&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-has-fairuza-balk-been-up-to-since-the-craft/zack-howe" target="_blank">Fairuza Balk</a>&nbsp;movie undoubtedly&nbsp;inspired countless rounds of &quot;Light as a Feather&quot; at sleepovers, as well as moved witchcraft from the Goth fringes of high school culture to the forefront of the American zeitgeist. The spooky film -&nbsp;which also features Robin Tunney, Neve Campbell, and Rachel True -&nbsp;follows four <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fictional-witches/lisa-waugh" target="_blank">teenage&nbsp;witches</a> who try to navigate the fine line between the good and evil of their supernatural powers.&nbsp;

While the movie has many eerie scenes, some are nowhere near as creepy as the behind-the-scenes stories of shooting&nbsp;<a href="http://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?TSID=5036&amp;GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FCraft-Special-Neve-Campbell%2Fdp%2FB00004W4UD%2Fref%3Dsr_1_1%3Fkeywords%3Dthe%2Bcraft%2Bdvd%26qid%3D1554491946%26s%3Dgateway%26sr%3D8-1&amp;amazon-ids-by-cc=US%3Drankercom2761478-20" target="_blank">The Craft</a>.&nbsp;Not only did the production team hire&nbsp;a real witch to ensure authenticity, but the spells performed on camera led to&nbsp;uncanny occurrences on set.&nbsp;The experience was so profound that&nbsp;some of the actresses chose to continue&nbsp;their witchy practices even after the movie wrapped. Others involved with the film&nbsp;refrained from practicing magick, as the experiences from filming&nbsp;The Craft&nbsp;proved ample enough.

Here are some of the weirdest behind-the-scenes stories from&nbsp;The Craft.&nbsp;

In show biz, hair dye can be a potent tool for career advancement, especially for women.&nbsp;While actors of both genders have earned kudos after undergoing&nbsp;drastic <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/actors-most-unbelievable-body-transformations-for-a-role/ariel-kana" target="_blank">body transformations for a role</a>, some female celebrities actually transformed their careers and became&nbsp;famous after simply dyeing their hair&nbsp;from <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-who-dyed-their-hair-blonde/celeb-stalker" target="_blank">blond</a>, brunette, and red to new colors. It can be difficult to imagine actresses like Emma Stone or Amy Adams without red hair, or even Marilyn Monroe without her platinum blond&nbsp;tresses, but at one time these women didn&#39;t rock their now-iconic looks.

Though it&#39;s up for debate whether stars&#39; natural or dyed hair is more flattering,&nbsp;there&#39;s no denying how the&nbsp;simplicity of such a small change can permanently define a famous face, as this collection of then-and-now photos of celebrities with dyed hair will illustrate.&nbsp;

Where's the Beef?

Kevin Smith

When Kevin Smith worked with Bruce Willis on the set of&nbsp;Live Free or Die Hard&nbsp;(2007), their relationship was nearly perfect. Both hailing from New Jersey (though Willis spent his first two years in Germany), the two stars got along swimmingly and even kept in touch after production had ended. Their newfound friendship led to&nbsp;another project together: the comedy Cop Out&nbsp;(2010).

Both have made headlines for their surprising&nbsp;behaviors.&nbsp;Smith is known for his heavy stoner habits and over-the-top fanboying - even his <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/kevin-smith-and-ben-affleck-friendship/donn-saylor" target="_blank">friendship with Ben Affleck</a> has fallen under scrutiny. Willis, who boasts&nbsp;a decades-long&nbsp;career of lucrative box office hits (which has&nbsp;afforded him the wherewithal to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-town-bruce-willis-bought/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">buy a town in Idaho</a>), has developed a reputation for his notable feuds over the years.

When Willis and Smith reunited as lead actor and director, things quickly fell apart.&nbsp;Their conflicting creative visions&nbsp;soon clashed and led to yet another noteworthy <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/actor-director-fights/matthewcoleweiss" target="_blank">on-set feud</a>. What does Kevin Smith think&nbsp;of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/bruce-willis-movies-and-films-and-filmography/reference" target="_blank">Bruce Willis</a> now? And how does Willis feel about Smith? Well, let&#39;s just say there&#39;s been a lot of profanity and name-calling.

In 2022, however, the public beef may have come to a sad, unexpected end. Willis was diagnosed with the brain condition aphasia and announced that he was stepping away from acting, which prompted Smith to put his issues&nbsp;to rest once and for all, <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/kevin-smith-bruce-willis-brain-condition-b2048858.html" target="_blank">offering a public apology</a> and warm words about Willis&#39;s career.

The Life of an Actor

James McAvoy

Born in&nbsp;Scotland in April 1979,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.biography.com/people/james-mcavoy-241293" target="_blank">James McAvoy&#39;s&nbsp;career</a> began with TV and movie&nbsp;appearances in England. His early work includes&nbsp;The Inspector Lynley Mysteries and Foyle&rsquo;s War, but his breakthrough role was Mr. Tumnus in 2005&#39;s&nbsp;The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. McAvoy went on to participate&nbsp;in a diverse array of projects including&nbsp;The Last King of Scotland, Becoming Jane, and Wanted. He also played&nbsp;Professor X in Fox&rsquo;s X-Men series.&nbsp;

McAvoy plays Kevin Wendell Crumb, the memorable antagonist in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-glass-trilogy-movies/jordan-breeding" target="_blank">M. Night Shyamalan</a>&#39;s Split and its&nbsp;follow-up,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/everything-we-know-about-the-glass-trilogy/bailey-benningfield" target="_blank">Glass</a>.&nbsp;The complexity of the character who harbors 23 different personalities - including one called &quot;The Beast&quot; - demonstrates McAvoy&#39;s impressive acting aptitude.

Although he is a recognizable name in the superhero&nbsp;and villain universe, fun facts about James&nbsp;McAvoy may still surprise some fans. From an early affinity towards priesthood&nbsp;to the way he prepares&nbsp;for roles, the actor is as complex as some of the characters he has played.&nbsp;

Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)

Given the reaction to her performance in Suicide Squad, it&#39;s no surprise that&nbsp;actor Margot Robbie is getting her own Harley Quinn&nbsp;movie. In&nbsp;fact, her newfound popularity within the DCEU has led to numerous projects centered on the character. Although Gotham City Sirens was <a href="https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a846090/dc-gotham-city-sirens-movie-with-margot-robbie-as-harley-quinn-still-happening/" target="_blank">the first project announced</a>, the Birds of Prey movie has become the priority for her first spinoff film. The comic book group&nbsp;dates back to the 1990s, and the (generally) all-female squad is&nbsp;considered one of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-group-and-acute_s-of-super-heroes" target="_blank">best superhero teams</a> in comic books.

With the possibility of so many different DC Comics characters joining the team, it&rsquo;s reassuring that Robbie will be returning.

Malcolm in the Middle

It&rsquo;s been years since we last saw the Wilkerson family together onscreen, and we have to wonder: where is the cast of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-malcolm-in-the-middle-episodes/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Malcolm in the Middle</a> today? The show first aired on Fox in 2000, and it went into syndication shortly after the series finale, so it&#39;s safe to assume Malcolm in the Middle has countless fans around the world (possibly from multiple generations).

Given the show ended back in 2006, it&#39;s natural to wonder what the cast has been up to since. Everyone likely knows that Bryan Cranston went on to lead his own insanely popular AMC show, but few know what happened to star <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/where-is-frankie-muniz-now/chelsea-harris" target="_blank">Frankie Muniz</a> after the series concluded.

Let&rsquo;s take a look at some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-malcolm-in-the-middle-characters/ranker-tv" target="_blank">best characters from Malcolm on the Middle,</a> and see what the stars have been up to since the rambunctious family left our TV screens. &nbsp;

Last Action Hero

The fever-dream moments from Last Action Hero drive you to either love the movie or hate it. To understand why this film is better than you&nbsp;think, you must first embrace it as an extremely ludicrous and self-aware satire. Plenty of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/brilliant-satirical-movies/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">most brilliant satirical movies</a>&nbsp;polarize audiences because fans take them too seriously. Occasionally, satires <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/satires-better-than-what-they-make-fun-of/lisa-a-flowers" target="_blank">even far exceed the works</a>&nbsp;they poke fun&nbsp;at, making&nbsp;for an even better movie experience. While this may not be the&nbsp;case for Last Action Hero, you still have to appreciate it for its over-the-top action, bizarre characters, and meta plotline.

The film follows young Danny Madigan as he enters the fictional world of his favorite action hero, Jack Slater, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Danny&#39;s infiltration of the already bizarre&nbsp;world of Slater&nbsp;ends up resulting in real-world chaos.&nbsp;Even the hilariously high number of cameos in Last Action Hero feeds into its excessiveness. Taking this&nbsp;into account,&nbsp;Last Action Hero&#39;s&nbsp;most bizarre scenes could be considered some of cinema&#39;s greatest feats - and might&nbsp;speak to its overall brilliance.
