Jamie Lee Curtis has landed herself in hot water after she joked about the current status of Marvel during an interview at San Diego Comic-Con.

During an interview with MTV, the interviewer asked Jamie Lee Curtis: “What phase is Marvel in right now?” The actress bluntly replied “bad” before looking shocked at the camera.

Her response went viral with some fans wholeheartedly agreeing with Jamie Lee Curtis that Marvel is no longer what it used to be, whilst others took offence to her joke. She has now issued an apology to Marvel, saying her comments were “stupid” and she’ll “do better” in the future.

She wrote: “If I’m a leader, then a leader shouldn’t talk shit about other collaborative art form creators. 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 nor will I engage in the toilet paper promotion or game play that is designed for clicks not content.”

Wait, is everyone expected to apologize for slamming Marvel post-Endgame? https://t.co/kRxPmILfXl

Ryan Reynolds then threw his hat in the ring, coming to the actress’s defence, by commenting: “Wait, is everyone expected to apologize for slamming Marvel post-Endgame?”

This isn’t the first time Jamie Lee Curtis has come under fire for shading Marvel after she claimed Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was copying her 2022 film, Everything Everywhere All At Once. In an interview with People, she clarified that she had “nothing against Marvel as an entity.”

She explained: “I’ve seen a lot of Marvel movies. 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.”
