Picking favorites! Kevin Feige was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday, and the Marvel Studios president opened up to ET’s Ash Crossan about some of his favorite characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe while reflecting on his stewardship of the massive film franchise.

“It’s always been dream after dream for me at Marvel with the highest of highs and a little bit of lows and back to high of highs,” Feige, 51, shared. “It’s the journey! And it’s the journey with all these people who are here with me today.”

“I mean, even being here with Hugh today, going back from his first audition on X Men 1 25 years ago to him opening tonight in Deadpool & Wolverine, he’s had an amazing journey,” shared Feige. “I think Chris Evans, who’s here today, and what he has done with the Cap character from the First Avenger to Endgame, I love them all.”

“And Tony Stark, of course, and and what Robert [Downey Jr.] did with John Favreau,” he added. “[They] helped us create and really start the whole MCU.”

As for the ceremonial star itself, Feige said it was the culmination of a childhood dream come true.

“It’s a forever monument that feels very special,” he shared, “and I’m humbled to have it.”
