Jamie Lee Curtis Says the Marvel Cinematic Universe Is in Its “Bad” Phase
Jamie Lee Curtis has once again drawn the ire of Marvel fans after saying that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is currently in its “bad” phase.
Promoting her new film, Borderlands, Curtis was asked by MTV what phase the MCU was in as part of a game of rapid-fire questions.
“Bad,” the actress quickly responded.

Curtis Has Been Critical of Marvel in the Past
This is not the first time that Curtis has drawn the ire of Marvel fans. In 2022, the actress took to social media to proclaim that her multiverse drama, Everything Everywhere All at Once, was far superior to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The two films were released within a week of each other.
“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,” Curtis wrote.

In an interview with The Talk, Curtis explained what she liked better about Everything Everywhere All at Once.
“Marvel movies just feel very sort of dead to me. And this is a movie that actually makes you feel tremendous heart,” she said.

After the dust had settled, however, Curtis later clarified to People magazine that she had “nothing against Marvel.”
“I have nothing against Marvel as an entity. I’ve seen a lot of Marvel movies,” Curtis said.

“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.”
Would the Actress Join the MCU?
While Curtis does not believe that Marvel will ever come calling, she would still be open to appearing in an MCU film.
“Honestly, I can’t imagine that they will ever come calling because I kicked up some dust,” Curtis said. “But I’m a collaborating artist. I work with a lot of people on a lot of different things, and if the role was interesting and if I could bring what I do to it, of course I would. What am I going to do, say no?”

Still, the actress couldn’t help but take one more shot at the studio.
“But, I would find it hard to imagine that Marvel’s going to figure out something to do with a 64-year-old woman,” she added. “I’m afraid if I do a Marvel movie, they’re going to stick dots all over me and make me act by myself in a warehouse somewhere.”
