Jamie Lee Curtis mocks the ‘bad’ Marvel franchise — and then walks back ‘stupid’ comments
San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend.In a clip from her interview with MTV’s Josh Horowitz, Curtis was asked which phase the MCU is in right now.“Bad,” she bluntly responded.Horowitz was shocked by Curtis’ comment, as the actress and her “Borderlands” costars all burst out laughing. After the remark made headlines, Curtis issued an apology on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday.“My comments about Marvel were stupid and I will do better,” the “Freaky Friday” star wrote.“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,” she added.Curtis, who has never appeared in a Marvel movie, previously shaded 2022’s “Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness” while praising her own multiverse film, “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”“Is it JUST me? Does it seem STRANGE that our tiny movie that could and did and continues to do ##1movieinamerica and is TRULY MARVELOUS, out marvels any Marvel movie they put out there,” Curtis wrote on Instagram, calling out the similarities between the posters for the films which came out two months apart.She continued: “@everythingeverywheremovie has a Marvel movie coming out with a copycat poster? Is this one of those Internet feuds? All I’ll say is we would SLAY in a family feud contest @familyfeud with the Doctor Strange strangers.
