Jamie Lee Curtis Apologized For Comments About The MCU's Current Phase: "I Will No Longer Play In That Mud Slinging Sandbox Of Competition"

Jamie ’s done with the " toilet paper promotion . "

Jamie Lee Curtisisn’t letting the internet turn her words into a multiverse of madness again.

At the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, MTV’s Josh Horowitz asked different celebrities promoting their projects which phase theMarvel Cinematic Universeis currently in. Surprisingly, only a few celebs could answer correctly — or politely.

Percy Jackson and the OlympiansstarWalker Scobell, who is friends withDeadpool’sRyan Reynolds, incorrectly guessed “six.”

Rings of Poweractor Ema Horvath said the MCU is in “a transitional phase.”

And while James McAvoy, a star of theX-Menfranchise, knew the answer regarding his Marvel kinfolk, hisSpeak No Evilcostar Mackenzie Davis simply said, “Death.”

In attendance with her costars forBorderlands,Jamie answered the question with one word about MCU’s current phase and didn’t skip a beat: “Bad.”

“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.”

Jamie’s reason for the apology might be that this is not the first time she has been critical of Disney’s superhero universe. A couple of years ago, Jamie called out aDoctor Strangesequel while promotingEverything Everywhere All at Once,which had similar multiversal themes.

Jamiesharedin a 2022 Instagram post, “Is it JUST me? Does it seem STRANGE that our tiny movie that could and did and continues to do ##1movieinamerica and is TRULY MARVELOUS, out marvels any Marvel movie they put out there @everythingeverywheremovie has a Marvel movie coming out with a copycat poster? Is this one of those Internet feuds?”

She followed up with anotherpostcomparingDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’s huge budget to the film directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.

For context,Everything Everywhere All at Oncewas made on a nearly-$25-million budget. In comparison,Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesshad a$414-million budget, making it one of the most expensive movies ever.

And then shehit them againwith a jab at the films' differences in stunts and use of green screens, or lack thereof. “The moment of ‘I LOVE YOU’ Daniels @everythingeverywheremovie STYLE!Most movies would have a swelling score and backlit, dewy eyed lovers expressing their feelings,” she began.

So, it’s safe to say that it makes sense why Jamie has chosen not to take that road again with this next phase of Marvel movies. Perhaps, once she and Kevin Feige sit down and make up (I’m manifesting this), they can talk about making her therealMadame Web fromSpider-Man. I mean, look at her:
