Jamie Lee Curtis Says Bashing Marvel Was ‘Stupid’ and ‘I Will Do Better’
Jamie Lee Curtis is vowing no longer to throw shade at Marvel Studios. The Oscar winner recently went viral on social media due to a Comic-Con interview with MTV in which she was asked to name what phase the Marvel Cinematic Universe is in right now. Curtis responded: “Bad.”
“My comments about Marvel were stupid and I will do better,” Curtis wrote in a statement on social media. “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.”
While Curtis admitted that publicly shading Marvel was wrong to do, she also wasn’t necessarily incorrect in her assessment of the MCU. While Marvel is back on top of the box office with “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which is bound to cross the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box, it also had its worst year ever in 2023 with two box office flops: “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “The Marvels.” The latter title became Marvel’s lowest-grossing movie in history and only grossed $84 million at the domestic box office.
Cutis also threw shade at Marvel throughout 2023 as her multiverse movie “Everything Everywhere All at Once” opened in theaters around the same time as Marvel’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The actor went wild on social media at the time proclaiming her movie to be the superior multiverse project.
“I have nothing against Marvel as an entity. I’ve seen a lot of Marvel movies,” Curtis later clarified to People magazine when asked about the playful feud. “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.”

You just can't help yourself, Jamie.
You'll be back.

She is addicted to attention. Like a junkie. And her apology was bullshit.
She’s probably thrilled she found a reason to call Kevin Fiege and try to I force him to cast her as Black Widow’s hermaphrodite aunt.

Dear Jamie,
Shut up, wake up and smell the incel-to-troon pipeline your son crawlled through. Disown him for a couple of years. Get your pathetic ass off booze and into therapy.
P.S. Not all attention is good attention.

She’s looking more and more like a shaven Wilford Brimley every day.

I like JLC, but I’m sure her PR team had to remind her that she has a silly-looking film dropping next week that’s based on a video game. She doesn’t have the high-ground here.

She can’t shut the fuck up, can she?
Pasty bitch looks old. Almost as wrinkled as her balls.

I wonder if the Academy regrets giving her that Oscar. It made her more insufferable.

It seems like she rose through the ranks of the DL despised practically overnight.

Jamie Lee claims she’s been sober for a long time now, but her actions and general demeanor are that of a wino who is constantly washing down her happy pills with a bottle of chardonnay. She seems loopy as hell. I remember first noticing this when she was doing press for that awful Halloween reboot.

She’s “Hollywood sober” R11. It’s no longer bourbon she uses to wash down her happy pills but wine like you said.

She reeks of Johnnie Walker Red and testosterone.

I don’t know why she would say that. I guarantee her new Marvel rip off movie “Borderlands” is going to be a massive bomb.
She’s playing a character she’s way too old for and it’s already been called out amongst the fans of the video game.

Not to mention the fact that the video game character is a woman.

Jamie Lee was not wrong but she should have been cognizant who is signing the check of Freaky Friday 2 - and moving it to theatrical instead of streaming like it was expected.

Jamie Lee would be perfect as Uncle Ben in a new Spider-Msn film.
