Iron Man, Wolverine Joining Walk of Fame
June 19, 2008 by brian
If you needed any further proof that his star turn as Marvel superhero Iron Man has resurrected Robert Downey Jr’s career, he’s now getting his own star on the Walk of Fame.
He won’t be the only superhero joining the fold, as Wolverine himself Hugh Jackman will be immortalized as well. If this were a Marvel comic, two superheroes showing up at the same place unexpectedly would totally be cause for them to fight. And we’d have a perfect director in place to film the conflict as Batman director Tim Burton is getting his star in this group. That pretty much settles it. I demand that these three sit down and hash out Batman vs. Wolverine vs. Iron Man.
Yes, I realize that Batman is a DC character guaranteeing zero chance of this ever happening. It’s a shame. After all, that movie would be a definite billion-dollar blockbuster. But Ben Kingsley is also going onto the walk. Batman vs. Wolverine vs. Gandhi and his powers of peaceful resistance. Don’t try to tell me Kingsley wouldn’t do it. He’s in The Love Guru, it’s become blatantly obvious there’s no check he won’t take.

That’s great 2 hear about Robert Downey, Jr & Tim Burton getting a star on the esteemed Hollywood Walk of Fame…I’m a bit confused by Hugh Jackman though…Sure, he’s famous these past few years, but certainly has not starred in or directed as many films as the other 2 inductees…Compared to how many years in the industry it took all the other stars (both alive & past) to be made into the Walk of Fame–it just seems way 2 soon for Hugh Jackman that’s all.
–Godspeed–
Ryan, how quickly you forget the significance of Viva Laughlin.
