It seems like the feud between Jamie Lee Curtis and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has officially come to an end. The Academy Award winner has vowed never again to criticize the superhero franchise after her previous comment went viral on social media.
“My comments about Marvel were stupid and I will do better,” the actress wrote in a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter). “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.”
What did Jamie Lee Curtis say about the MCU?
Curtis released the statement not long after MTV shared a clip of an interview during this year’s San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), in which she was asked what phase the MCU is in right now, to which she responded, “Bad.” The actress attended SDCC to promote her latest feature, Borderlands, which will open in theaters this August 9.
This wasn’t the first time the actress threw shade at Marvel Studios. She claimed in a 2022 Instagram post that her multiverse movie Everything Everywhere All at Once had more of a “deep beating heart and brilliant visual treats” than Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Both features were screened in theaters around the same time.
She then clarified that she had “nothing against Marvel as an entity” in her 2022 interview with People. She added, “I’ve seen a lot of Marvel movies. What I was talking about is that Everything Everywhere All at Once was a little movie that could . . . and [we] were able to tell a multiverse story that really touched people. What I was trying to talk about was it doesn’t have to be a Marvel movie in order to be a spectacle and to really move you.”
