Jamie Lee Curtis Apologizes for Marvel Criticism at Comic-Con

Jamie Lee Curtis has issued an apology for her recent remarks about the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con. In a statement posted on her X account, the Oscar-winning actress described her comments as “stupid” and expressed her intention to improve her approach in the future. She revealed that she has reached out to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and emphasized her decision to avoid engaging in online disputes regarding the entertainment industry. Curtis's apology follows a viral moment from the Comic-Con event, where she humorously responded to a question about the current phase of the MCU by simply stating “Bad.” This quip elicited laughter from the audience, highlighting her critical stance towards the franchise. This is not the first instance of Curtis expressing her views on Marvel; in 2022, she made headlines by claiming that her film “Everything, Everywhere All at Once” surpassed any Marvel movie, particularly in comparison to “Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.” While Curtis has previously stirred the pot with her comments, she clarified that her intention was to foster a sense of friendly competition. She also indicated her openness to joining the MCU, stating, “I’m a collaborating artist,” and that she would consider a role if it was intriguing and allowed her to contribute creatively. Curtis's recent remarks reflect a shift towards a more diplomatic stance regarding the popular franchise.
