MTV is reporting that rap star Ghostface Killah will have a cameo role in the upcoming comic adaptation of Iron Man. A member of the Wu-Tang Clan, the rapper goes by a variety of nicknames, including a slight variation of the Marvel hero’s secret identity, Tony Stark. Ghostface’s first solo album was even called Ironman.

“It was a good look for the kid because Robert Downey Jr. recognized me as soon as I seen him,” says Ghostface. “He was like, ‘Yo, Tony!’ … For him to recognize me, I was kinda surprised by that.”

Iron Man will be released in theaters on May 8th, 2008.
