Jamie Lee Curtis, the beloved scream queen turned Oscar-winning actress, has issued a public apology for her recent comments about the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actress has been vocal about her love for independent cinema.
However, she found herself in hot water after labeling the current phase of the MCU as “bad.” Curtis herself has been a part of Disney films. So, her calling out the MCU was surprising, to say the least.

The backlash was swift, with fans and critics alike taking to social media to express their disappointment in the actress’s remarks. Additionally, it seems Curtis quickly realized the impact of her words, and in a surprising turn, took to social media to offer a heartfelt apology.
“My comments about Marvel were stupid and I will do better,” Curtis wrote in a post. “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.”
Moreover, her statement was definitely taken with a grain of salt by the fans as the apology seemed forced. However, regardless of the public’s reaction, Curtis’s decision to own up to her mistake is a commendable one.
