Jamie Lee Curtis has apologized for recent comments she made mocking the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, saying that she’ll do better going forward.
In a statement posted to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, Curtis called the comments “stupid” and said she reached out to Kevin Feige personally. She also said that she wouldn’t be doing any “mud slinging” anymore, and would not do anything that is “designed for clicks not content.”
What did Jamie Lee Curtis say about the MCU?
“My comments about Marvel were stupid and I will do better,” said Curtis. “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.”
The controversy surrounding Curtis stems from recent comments she made in an interview with MTV. When asked what phase Marvel was in, Curtis simply replied, “bad.” The actress attended SDCC to promote her latest feature, Borderlands, which will open in theaters this August 9.
Curtis had also previously taken shots at the MCU by mocking 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which she said was copying the 2022 hit Everything Everywhere All At Once.
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.”
