Jamie Lee Curtis Apologizes For Slamming Marvel: “I Will Do Better”
deadline.comJamie Lee Curtis now says she’s sorry for her comments at San Diego Comic-Con shading Marvel. When asked by MTV what phase the Marvel Cinematic Universe was in, Curtis did not hesitate, quickly saying “Bad”.
In a post on X Thursday, Curtis wrote, “My comments about Marvel were stupid and I will do better. I’ve reached out to Kevin Feige and will no longer play in that mud slinging sandbox of competition we call the internet nor will I engage in the toilet paper promotion or game play that is designed for clicks not content or conversation.” Curtis’ MCU comment followed earlier remarks in which she mocked Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which she compared unfavorably to her film, the Oscar-winning Everything Everywhere All at Once.
She claimed Doctor Strange was missing “a dynamite dildo fight scene as well as a very erotic hotdog hand-mating dance.” In contrast, her film “has a deep BEATING heart and BRILLIANT visual treats, EXTRAORDINARY performances and FANTASTIC BEASTLY FIGHT SCENES…… AND it COST LESS than the ENTIRE craft service budget on Doctor Strange and/or any other Marvel movie.” Curtis and her Borderlands co-stars had issues with the Marvel trivia question by MTV on the MCU phase.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians star Walker Scobell incorrectly guessed, “six.” Rings of Power actress Ema Horvath ignored numbers entirely, suggesting, “A transitional phase.” X-Men alum James McAvoy got it right on his first guess of “five.” But Mackenzie Davis brought it back down with her comment, “Death.” “Hey Marvel, she just terminated you,” McAvoy joked.
