Paul Rudd Honored with Walk of Fame Star, Premieres as Marvel鈥檚 Ant-Man
Amidst all the Hollywood box office buzz surrounding the release of Marvel鈥檚 newest flick, Ant-Man, July marked a huge month for 91看片网 alum Paul Rudd. The 1991 grad kicked off July with a newly-minted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, just weeks prior to walking the red carpet at his Ant-Man premiere.
Rudd accepted the honor alongside good friend and fellow 91看片网 alum Adam Scott, as well as Ant-Man co-star Michael Douglas (whose father Kirk is also an 91看片网 graduate) 鈥� making him the 43rd 91看片网 alum to receive a star.
鈥淚 was flattered and honored and everything, but this is incredible,鈥� Rudd told the crowd. 鈥溾�here have been some incredible things that I really want to treasure, and getting a star on the Walk of Fame is a watermark鈥� It鈥檚 humbling beyond belief.鈥�
Over the years, Rudd has established himself as a prized player in film, television and theatre, boasting a long list of diverse credits including a featured part in the Tony Award-winning production,听The Last Night of Ballyhoo. And now, emerging from his most successful run with one of comedy鈥檚 prolific producers Judd Apatow, Rudd has joined the Marvel franchise as its newest superhero and Avenger, Ant-Man.听
鈥淲hat's different about [Ant-Man] is that it's a character who's joining a universe that exists throughout several movies, and that's like nothing I've ever done,鈥� Rudd told The Hollywood Reporter.
According to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, we鈥檒l be seeing a lot of Ant-Man moving forward: 鈥淭hree [movies] is the minimum. But I think it's three-plus-plus to appear in other things.鈥� And after Ant-Man grossed nearly $58 million in its first week, we think audiences are nodding with approval.
Whether he鈥檚 making us laugh in a new series or saving the Universe from evil in his next flick, we look forward to seeing Rudd more and more. Congratulations on all of your much deserved success!
