In a recent interview with MTV, Jamie Lee Curtis humorously took a jab at the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
When asked to name the current phase of the MCU, Curtis didn’t hesitate to respond with a simple, “Bad,” a comment that caused her Borderlands co-stars to burst into laughter.
While her remark was made in jest, it quickly drew attention and stirred up some controversy among fans and social media users.
Curtis, known for her candid nature and sharp wit, has often been vocal about various topics in Hollywood.
Her recent comment, however, was met with mixed reactions. Some found it amusing and appreciated her straightforwardness, while others felt it was unnecessary and dismissive of the work done by Marvel Studios.
Realizing the impact of her words, Curtis issued a public apology. In her statement, she acknowledged that her comments were ill-considered.
“My comments about Marvel were stupid and I will do better,” Curtis admitted. She also mentioned reaching out to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige to personally apologize.
“I’ve reached out to Kevin Feige and will no longer play in that mud-slinging sandbox of competition we call the internet,” she added.
Curtis emphasized her intention to steer clear of online debates and promotional antics that are designed to generate clicks rather than foster genuine content or conversation.
“Nor will I engage in the toilet paper promotion or gameplay that is designed for clicks, not content or conversation,” Curtis stated.
This isn’t the first time Curtis has made headlines with her outspoken nature. Her forthrightness has earned her both praise and criticism, but she has always remained unapologetically herself.
Curtis’s latest comments come at a time when the MCU is under intense scrutiny from fans and critics alike.
The franchise, which has enjoyed unprecedented success over the past decade, is currently navigating a transitional period with new characters and storylines being introduced.
While some fans remain enthusiastic about the future of the MCU, others have expressed concerns about its direction and the quality of recent releases.
