9 Shocking Movie Transformations
Hair growing in places it shouldn't. Flesh falling off of the bone, whatever horrors are going on here! Picture that and you've got some truly disgusting transformations. Here’s 9 of the most shocking movie transformations ever…
The Fly's transformation is obviously grotesque, that’s a given, but unlike a lot of the entries in this list, it's disturbingly gradual. Jeff Goldblum's Seth Brundle morphs from a brilliant, eccentric scientist into a foul, vicious insect-man over the course of the entire movie, shifting through seven distinct stages.

Fishburne told Collider about the secret project which he pitched to Marvel before being cast as Bill Foster in the Ant-Man sequel.
“I’ve got Black-ish going on, I’m developing something else for Marvel that I can’t talk about. It’s gonna be really cool. It’s gonna change the world, we hope
. I went to Marvel and pitched them something that really couldn’t work out—there was a lot of legal red tape that just
something they couldn’t work out. But then they came back with the offer for Ant-Man and The Wasp and then they said, ‘Hey, what do you think of this?’ and I went ‘Oh yeah that, yes!’ so…”
