Jamie Lee Curtis has apologised for the negative comments she made against Marvel.
The Freaky Friday star wrote and shared a statement to Marvel Studios and its president, Kevin Feige, after controversially speaking out against the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) earlier this month.
Curtis, 65, took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to post her apology: “My comments about Marvel were stupid and I will do better.

“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 Oscar-award-winning actress’ statement was released just two days after Josh Horowitz asked her in an MTV video, “What phase is the MCU in,” to which she said: “Bad.”
It isn’t the first time Curtis has spoken negatively about Marvel. Two years ago, she referenced the MCU and its notoriously huge movie budgets.

Curtis was promoting her film Everything Everywhere All at Once, which saw her winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress when she came for the publishing company.
Both her film and Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness were set to open at the same time.

“?TRUTH ALERT?@everythingeverywheremovie is MARVELLOUS,” her 2022 Instagram post began.
“It has a deep BEATING heart and BRILLIANT visual treats, EXTRAORDINARY performances and FANTASTIC BEASTLY FIGHT SCENES…… AND it COST LESS than the ENTIRE craft service budget on Doctor Strange and/or any other Marvel movie,” she wrote.
“COMPETITIVE? F—k YES. I wasn’t head cheerleader in high school for nothing. And P.S. our movie has a dynamite dildo fight scene as well as a very erotic hotdog hand mating dance and rocks.??? ♠️,” her post concluded before she added a hashtag: “Guess I will never be cast in a Marvel movie.”
