A New York deli known for its gargantuan sandwiches has gone the way of the summer blockbuster.

The "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" sandwich is now a fixture on the menu at the Carnegie Deli, a New York landmark on the corner of 55th Street and Seventh Avenue in midtown Manhattan.

The sandwich is the carnivorous wolf's dream -- and the vegetarian's worst nightmare: corned beef, pastrami, turkey, salami, tongue, American cheese and brisket on rye.

The sandwich costs $40 and weighs approximately four pounds. If you can't conquer the sammie by yourself, there's a $3 additional plate charge for sharing.

The landmark deli is known for its celebrity wall of fame and celebrity-themed menu items like the Li'l Abner (hot brisket of beef, with gravy, French fried potatoes or baked beans), the Woody Allen ("lotsa corned beef plus lotsa pastrami") and our favorite, the Julienne Child (chef salad bowl).

This is so wrong on so many levels. Any sandwich associated with Hugh Jackman should be a HOT sandwich, a VERY HOT sandwich. Excuse me while I swirl into a day of Hugh Jackman sandwich fantasies.
