What Kyla Pratt And Her Daughter Look Like Now
No, she's a mom. She has a daughter, a human child, and she's seriously a spitting image of her parents.
Kyla and her longtime boyfriend, tattoo artist Danny Kirkpatrick, have been together since 2008, and share two daughters, Liyah, born in 2013, and Lyric, born in 2010.
Before her adventures in motherhood, Kyla had the late '90s/early 2000s on lock, reprising her role in sequels to 1998's Dr. Doolittle, starring in One on One, and voicing Penny Proud in The Proud Family.
Kyla's currently reprising her role as Penny in the revival series, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder on Disney+.
But, even with those most impressive acting credits, Kyla's most groundbreaking role is co-starring in her daughter Lyric's TikTok because why do they look so alike, and why do I feel ancient now?
Back in 2023, Kyla and Lyric made their TikTok debut together for the first time, and everyone was stunned by their identical appearance. Now, Lyric has posted new videos with her mom, and people are even more flabbergasted at how much they look like each other.
In a TikTok shared on Aug. 1, Lyric and Kyla were joined by internet personality and actor Charles Brockman III to recreate an iconic moment from the very first episode of The Proud Family, "Bring It On."
People are rightfully losing it over the similarities.
One person even joked that Lyric "literally looks like Penny" from The Proud Family.
Another said that she "could play penny proud in a live action" version of the animated series.
And like most millennials who grew up with Kyla, this person said, "this just healed something in me," and I get it.
Lyric really looks JUST LIKE her mother!
And, of course, she looks like her daddy, too! Look at those adorable smiles.

Animated ‘Eyes of Wakanda' is a worthy, but too short, addition to the MCU
Marvel Studios has always prided itself on being a universe of interlocking stories, but one of the quieter strengths of Disney's superhero factory has been the ability to pivot into new and different genres while keeping the connective tissue intact. That was true when 'Guardians of the Galaxy' introduced space opera into the mix and again when 'WandaVision' flirted with sitcom surrealism in the aftermath of 'Avengers: Endgame.' With 'Eyes of Wakanda,' Marvel has a new animated anthology of four half-hour episodes that feels both impressively expansive and disappointingly fleeting, even as it spans millennia. It's a lavishly realized glimpse into a corner of the MCU, executive-produced by 'Black Panther' director (and Oakland native) Ryan Coogler and developed by veteran Marvel storyboard artist Todd Harris, but each episode's brevity works against the whole. While the Dora Milaje — the warrior bodyguards led by Danai Gurira's Okoye — have become mainstays of Wakanda's onscreen mythology, the spotlight here is on the War Dogs: deep-cover operatives tasked with recovering stolen artifacts and safeguarding Wakanda's secrets. The series uses these missions as narrative waypoints, jumping from 1260 B.C. to the 19th century to lend new context to important historical and mythological moments. If that sounds like a setup rife with possibilities, it is. And therein lies both the show's appeal and its frustration. Each episode introduces new characters, establishes the mission at hand and then wraps before the audience has had time to form much of a connection. This isn't entirely the fault of the storytelling, of course. A show spanning thousands of years is bound to rely on thematic rather than character continuity. Still, the result is an experience that's rich in scope but emotionally thin. What's on offer, however, is undeniably striking. The animation eschews the cel-shaded hybrid look of the recently concluded 'What If…?' in favor of lush backgrounds, painterly compositions and action sequences that often resemble moving concept art. Harris' history as a visual artist shows in every frame. From windswept battlefields to shadowy palaces, the rich visual palette grounds the fantasy in Coogler's live-action films while still establishing its own aesthetic identity. The voice cast also rises to the occasion, including Cress Williams as the Lion — a rogue War Dog whose betrayal sets the series' central conflict and mission into motion — and Winnie Harlow as Noni, a former Dora Milajae tasked with stopping him. Throughout the season, we also hear strong work from Larry Herron, Lynn Whitfield and Gary Anthony Williams, among others. Of course, for MCU obsessives, the ties to the broader Marvel mythology are always half the fun. Without giving too much away, the series introduces a new iteration of Iron Fist (Jona Xiao) bound to overshadow the execrable Netflix version. At the same time, the finale neatly lays out plot threads that reframe aspects of the 'Black Panther' mythology. In that respect, 'Eyes of Wakanda' mirrors the best of Marvel's one-shots: supplemental material enriching the story's larger world while carving out its own identity. In this instance, the scale and ambition hint at a series that could and should be much larger. Ultimately, that's the paradox of 'Eyes of Wakanda.' In an era where Marvel projects are routinely dinged for being too long, here's one that's not long enough — that's over just as it feels like it's finding its rhythm. That may not be the worst problem, but it does mean this debut season plays more like a prologue than the next great chapter of the MCU. Zaki Hasan is a freelance writer.

Sofia Carson Writes Her Own Hollywood Story
It's already her third movie in less than a year, but Sofia Carson is just as enthusiastic as ever. 'It's going on 10 years of me doing this, which is unbelievable,' Carson says, from the lobby of the New York Edition Hotel. 'And it always feels like the very first time in the best way. I always feel so genuinely excited and grateful, and I feel butterflies anytime I get to see my work on Times Square. It's all so surreal.' More from WWD Luciane Buchanan Brings Hawaiian History to Life in Apple TV+'s 'Chief of War' Logan Lerman on 'Oh, Hi,' Complex Characters, and Chasing Fresh Challenges The Costumes of 'The Gilded Age' Are a Part of Real Life History The 32-year-old broke out in the 2015 Disney Channel movie musical 'Descendants,' before going on to star in a series of movies for Netflix, including 'Feel the Beat,' 'Purple Hearts,' 'Carry On,' 'The Life Life,' and, out Friday, 'My Oxford Year.' She's also been a producer on several of those, positioning her as a new kind of breakout movie star (with a loyal fanbase — over 20 million followers on Instagram — following closely along). 'My mom refers to these moments in my career as catching lightning in a bottle,' Carson says. ''Descendants' was that first. And then 'Purple Hearts' was the second time that that happened. 'Purple Hearts' changed my life yet again. And because I produced 'Purple Hearts' and wrote the soundtrack for that, I think executives in the business saw me through a very different lens, not only as an actor and storyteller, but as a filmmaker and a decision maker, which as a woman in the industry, is a really privileged and exciting place to be in,' Carson says. 'And I don't take that for granted, and it's still surreal to me, but my opinion is respected in that way. So it's been a really beautiful few years, a very validating few years.' After 'Purple Hearts,' which tells the story of a struggling musician who marries a soldier for health insurance, became an overnight sensation for Netflix when it was released in 2022, Carson found herself in demand for meetings. In that time she met with Marty Bowen of Temple Hill, the producer behind the 'Twilight' movies and 'The Fault in Our Stars,' who presented her with the script for 'My Oxford Year.' 'It's just so beautiful and so powerful, and it also felt like a classic, and that's something I've always gravitated towards in my career,' she says of the movie. 'I loved the idea of being able to bring to life a classic love story.' 'My Oxford Year' sees Carson as an ambitious American grad student, Anna, who travels to Oxford University for a year-long program, where she meets a charming teaching assistant named Jamie (Corey Mylchreest), who has more to his story than he initially lets on. 'This is probably the truest love story that I've told,' Carson says. 'I was very drawn to Anna's character. She lives life in her understanding of living deliberately, which is planning every second of life, which is very much how I've lived my life. In falling in love with Jamie and losing him, I think she learns one of the greatest lessons that any of us can learn. And that is that life is lived in moments and that all we have is a succession of moments, and living deliberately doesn't mean planning every moment, but living them and living in the messiness of them. And it felt like such a necessary reminder for me and for anyone that watches this film.' Carson's ability to produce a hitmaker became clear to Netflix after her second film for them, last year's 'Carry On,' became their second most-watched film of all time. 'I think that's when it really clicked for everyone, that we have something special going on here. This partnership is really resonating with people in a really unbelievable way,' Carson says. As for where she goes from here? 'It has been an interesting few months navigating the question of what is next and personally navigating the pressures that I feel,' Carson says. 'Of course, it's an extraordinarily beautiful place to be in, to come off of so many successes, but it definitely puts a certain amount of pressure on me. But it's that reminder of not ever changing what my decision-making factor is, which is 'this project aligned with who I am? Am I proud of the art that I'm making?' And if the answer is 'yes,' then that's what I want to put out into the world.' In that vein, she's been back working on music, her first love, and is in development on multiple upcoming projects both as an actor and a producer. 'I was very lucky in that I don't remember a moment in my life when I didn't know that I wanted to do this for the rest of my life,' Carson says. 'It started with music and storytelling through music, but in my mind [acting and music] are so deeply connected because when you see videos of me when I was 3 and I was singing 'Evita,' I was performing that song and I was telling that story. So it just always was who I was rather than what I did.'

Michael Chiklis Shared Sweet Message To Fans While Passing The Torch On The Thing As Fantastic Four Heads To Theaters: 'I Want To Thank Everyone...'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is constantly releasing new content, either in theaters or streaming with a Disney+ subscription. The next highly anticipated upcoming Marvel movie hitting theaters is The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is being released later this week. Plenty of fans have been re-watching the two Fantastic movies from the early aughts, and now actor Michael Chiklis has responded to all the love he's been getting for his tenure as Ben Grimm/The Thing. What we know about The Fantastic Four: First Steps is limited for the time being, as the studio is guarding the movie's contents. While that new flick will debut Ebon Moss-Bachrach's version of The Thing, he's following in the big rocky footsteps of some other actors. Chiklis famously played Ben Grimm for two movies in live-action, and took to Twitter to share his response after those projects have been getting lovely lately. In his words: I want to thank everyone for all the Fantastic Four love this last couple of months during the run up to the new F4 flick. Speaking of which, I want to wish the cast and crew of First Steps the best of luck and success. I admire these actors and look forward to seeing them take on these iconic roles. #F4Forever #TheThing Talk about a class act. On top of thanking fans who have been re-watching his tenure as The Thing, the Shield actor also took the time to wish the cast of The Fantastic Four: First Steps good luck on the movie's impending release. If anyone knows the work they put in and the pressure involved, it's definitely Chiklis. Disney+: from $9.99 a month w/ ad-supported planThe MCU's streaming home is on Disney+, which also features the Fantastic Four franchise. . Plans start at $9.99 a month for its new ad-supported plan. Go ad-free and pay $15.99 a month or save 16% and pre-pay $159.99 for a Deal Fans waited a long time for the Fantastic Four to finally join the MCU, and Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox finally made that a possibility. It's been years since that deal was inked, so moviegoers have had to be particularly patient before seeing this quartet of heroes back on the silver screen. But it's just days away from release, and Chiklis wishes nothing for the best for those involved in the blockbuster. Early reception for The Fantastic Four: First Steps was positive, and it should be interesting to see how the general public responds to the latest Marvel blockbuster. While recent movies like Thunderbolts* and Deadpool & Wolverine were received well, others like Captain America: Brave New World failed to resonate with audiences. It seems like the Fantastic Four are going to have a big role in the future of the MCU, so the pressure is on. The Thunderbolts* credit scene teased their arrival, and it's been reported that Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards might lead the Avengers in Doomsday and Secret Wars. The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters on July 25th as part of the 2025 movie release list, and the team will return in Avengers: Doomsday December 18th, 2026. We'll have to see if the magic of the multiverse allows Chiklis to reprise his role as The Thing sometime in the future.
