Michael Douglas has been immortalized in Hollywood after countless iconic films throughout his career. He has been an influential figure in the film industry, starring in many projects that strayed away from social expectations. Three films stand out in his filmography; Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct, and Disclosure. All of these showcase their female characters in competent, powerful, and central roles, which was unheard of at the time.
Basic Instinct
This is not to say that these films are feminist masterpieces, but they were certainly ahead of their time. Making such movies in the 80s and 90s required a lot of effort and persuasion, as at every point, a question would get asked to the creators: Who is going to watch a movie about women in dominant roles?

"Cheers" was the third highest-rated show on television when Shelley Long opted to quit the series at the end of its fifth season and pursue movie stardom. Though the show had long since settled into its ensemble groove, the on-again/off-again Sam Malone and Diane Chambers romance was the primary generator of water-cooler chatter. Moreover, the chemistry between Long and Ted Danson was the stuff of a series showrunner's dream. Their banter was worthy of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. You don't just go out and find another Katharine Hepburn. Could "Cheers," brilliant and popular as it was, survive Long's departure, especially when fans had so much invested in Diane?
This was the conundrum faced by casting director Jeff Greenberg, who'd joined "Cheers" during Long's last season. He knew chasing the next Long was courting disaster, so he looked for an actor who could hold her own with Danson and...

Michael Douglas played Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man, in the MCU. Douglas has appeared in all three Ant-Man films, starting with the first one in 2015. However, he was not entirely happy working in the latest film in the trilogy since the filmmakers failed to implement his one wish for his character. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was a disaster at the box office and it is highly doubtful whether Douglas would appear in another MCU film.
Michael Douglas as Hank Pym in Ant-Man
Douglas’ Hank Pym is a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, entomologist, and physicist. He was a friend and colleague of John Slattery’s Howard Stark and Hayley Atwell’s Peggy Carter. Interestingly, Douglas chose the Ant-Man role after a few failed projects.

Legendary actress Sharon Stone has performed many memorable roles in classic films in her four-decade-long career. Known as a s*x symbol in her heyday, the actress has worked with acclaimed directors such as Martin Scorsese, Wes Craven, Steven Soderbergh, and more. She received an Academy Award nomination for her role in Casino.
Stone had claimed long back in 2016 that she was part of a Marvel film. At the time, she had revealed that her character’s superpowers were related to heat and that she could not divulge a lot of information due to contractual obligations. While she is yet to be seen in an MCU film, a theory states that James Gunn might have cut her role from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

In Luca Guadagnino’s latest cinematic endeavor, “Challengers,” Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist form a dynamic, throuple-esque trio, each delivering performances that scream Oscar-worthy. The real question is, will Academy voters look beyond the palpable sexual chemistry to acknowledge the film’s artistic merit? That’s a challenge for the marketing maestros.
Penned by newcomer Justin Kuritzkes, the spouse of “Past Lives” writer-director Celine Song, “Challengers” weaves through a 13-year narrative, chronicling the life of Tashi Duncan (Zendaya), a tennis wunderkind-turned-coach, who hatches a plan for her husband Art’s (Faist) comeback. The plan pits him against his ex-buddy and Tashi’s former flame, Patrick (O’Connor), setting the stage for a dramatic unraveling.

Long before Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” started taking shape, actress and philanthropist Sharon Stone had pitched for a movie featuring the iconic doll. The difference is that hers was not so warmly received.
Sharon Stone – Says Studio Execs Didn’t Want A “Powerful” Barbie
Greta Gerwig‘s “Barbie” was mostly all we could talk about last year, so much so that if you hadn’t seen it, you weren’t considered cool.
So now we’ve got a Barbie that challenges stereotypes and male roles in the society, and it’s a billion-dollar win for Warner Bros, but Sharon Stone had conceived a similar idea a few years back and no one wanted to listen to her.
“I went to the studio to try to make ‘Barbie’ in the 90s with a producer friend of mine and I had the then-ceo of Mattel on our side,” she shared. “Literally, we...

Sharon Stone is the original bombshell of Hollywood who dared to push the boundaries of female sensuality. As an actor who unapologetically embraced her s*x symbol image on screen, Stone quickly became the heartthrob of fans across the world, with men swooning over her and women vicariously living their dreams through her characters.

In the wake of Greta Gerwig’s successful adaptation of the Mattel doll, Sharon Stone has been chatting about her rejected attempt to get a Barbie film made.
Judging by Barbie's incredible success last year, it’s pretty clear that this was a film that the world was waiting for. Sure, there might have been a vocal minority who tried (and failed) to shout it down but as the film rocketed its way to be the most commercially successful film of the year it was abundantly clear that audiences had been waiting for a movie like Barbie.

Carvey called Stone “such a good sport” and said the comedy moment she appeared in, if aired today, “We would be literally arrested now.”

Former SNL cast members Dana Carvey and David Spade welcomed actress and 1992 SNL host Sharon Stone onto their Fly on the Wall podcast Wednesday, where the trio discussed a wide variety of topics, including Stone’s controversial episode as host.
Stone, whose hit Basic Instinct had recently been released in theaters, remembered being “terrified” during the April 1992 SNL live airing. And that was even before protestors stormed the stage seconds before her opening monologue, resulting in several arrests.
“I came out to do the monologue live, which is super scary … and people stormed the stage, saying they were going to kill me during the opening monologue,” recalled Stone. “The police and security who were in there froze, because they had never seen anything like that happen.”
Stone remarked that Lorne Michaels “personally saved my life” when the protestors stormed the stage.

Dana Carvey is apologizing to Sharon Stone for the “offensive” Saturday Night Live sketch in 1992, which saw her taking her clothes off.
The actress made a recent appearance on the Fly on the Wall With Dana Carvey and David Spade podcast, where she recalled her time hosting the NBC sketch comedy show on April 11, 1992, following the release of her hit movie Basic Instinct.

One controversial skit that Carvey brought up was the “Airport Security Sketch,” in which male airport security officers, including Carvey who appeared as an Indian security guard, made Stone remove one item of clothing at a time, claiming they needed to check to see if she was carrying anything dangerous.

“A bunch of people started storming the stage, saying they were going to kill me during the opening monologue,” she said. “The police that are always in there during all of that, and the security that is always in there, froze ’cause they’d never seen anything like that happen. They sort of, they froze. Lorne started screaming, ‘What are you guys doing, watching the f—ing show?’ And Lorne started, himself, beating up and pulling these people back from the stage.”
Eventually, order was restored.

Sharon Stone stopped by Dana Carvey and David Spade’s “Fly On The Wall” podcast to discuss the time she hosted “Saturday Night Live” back in April 1992 shortly after the release of her erotic blockbuster “Basic Instinct.” Stone remembered being “terrified” during the live taping as protestors stormed the stage seconds before her monologue. Six men were eventually arrested due to the incident. Stone said “SNL” creator Lorne Michaels “personally saved my life” when the protestors charged.
“I came out to do the monologue live, which is super scary, and a bunch of people started storming the stage saying they were going to kill me during the opening monologue,” Stone recalled. “The security that was in there froze because they never had seen anything like that happen. Lorne started screaming at [security], ‘What are you doing? Watching the fucking show?’ And Lorne started beating them up and pulling them back from the stage.

At 66, Stone is no longer offered roles worthy of her talents – so she paints up to 17 hours a day. She opens up about Hollywood, her tough upbringing and letting her ‘creative faucet flow’
One day a close friend of Sharon Stone’s went for dinner with her family. The friend’s father-in-law counselled that she should not choose pizza, since she had just had a baby and ought to lose weight. This incident inspired one of Stone’s paintings, It’s My Garden, Asshole: a gorgeous acrylic on canvas depicting a shimmering impressionistic garden held together with an undulating ground of salmon and De Kooning-esque pinks.
So the father-in-law was the asshole, I ask? Not quite, explains the star during a video call from her California home. When Stone came to make the painting, a drone was hovering over her home. You can see a black smudge top left of the canvas.
