“You don’t expect to get a star on the Walk of Fame when you’re a behind-the-scenes person,” Feige recently told Variety of the honor. “That’s all my dream ever was — just to be a name in the credits of a movie, to have a spot in this industry, in this town that I love unabashedly, with no cynicism at all. The notion that there’ll be my name on that street for forevermore is extremely, extremely meaningful to me.”

"It means a lot. It means that literally you’re going into the foundation of Hollywood history," he added. "I really liked the idea that these are names that — as the projects people make come and go in relevance or in memory — you can go to a place in Hollywood and still see the people that made this town what it is."

Feige's next movie, Deadpool & Wolverine, is in theaters Friday, July 26.
