The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a behemoth franchise, one that’s constantly expanding in theaters and streaming for those with a Disney+ subscription. And while Deadpool 3 is breaking records, not everyone is a fan of the shared universe. After Jamie Lee Curtis joked Marvel’s current phase is “bad”, she looked at the optics and apologized right to Kevin Feige.
Jamie Lee Curtis’ career has been thriving, recently winning an Oscar for Everything Everywhere All At Once. One of her upcoming projects is the Borderlands movie, and while promoting it at San Diego Com-Con she threw some shade at Marvel. Because when asked what phase the MCU is in she said simply “bad.” You can check out that moment via Twitter:

This quick exchange quickly went viral, partly because Jamie Lee Curtis is such a treasure. But it seems like she regrets throwing some shade at the MCU in this way. Because Curtis just posted a Twitter apology, revealing she spoke directly to Kevin Feige about her viral comments. The apology reads:
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.
