Among those to be honored in 2024 are Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, Marvel Studios honcho Kevin Feige, and Wonder Woman stars Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. The Walk of Fame is a decades-old institution in Hollywood, giving everyone form actors and musicians to athletes and more general "pop culture icons" with a permanent place in the city.
