Jamie Lee Curtis Apologizes for "Toilet Paper Promotion" Comments After Shading Marvel

There will be no Infinity War between Jamie Lee Curtis and Marvel.
The Oscar winner assembled an apologetic statement to Marvel Studios and its president Kevin Feige after stirring controversy with an apparent diss at the Marvel Cinematic Universe earlier this month.
"My comments about Marvel were stupid and I will do better," Curtis said in a message posted on X Aug. 1. "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 Freaky Friday actress' apology comes two days after MTV released a video where Josh Horowitz asked her, "What phase is the MCU in?" to which she responded, "Bad."
The controversy comes two years after the 65-year-old referenced Marvel and its blockbuster movie budgets—specifically Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness—while promoting her sci-fi action film Everything Everywhere All at Once, for which she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
"TRUTH ALERT," Curtis wrote on Instagram in 2022. "@everythingeverywheremovie is MARVELOUS! 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."
The actress, whose film was also set in a multiverse, continued, "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. #guessiwillneverbecastinamarvelmovie."
Curtis can be seen next in the new sci-fi action film Borderlands, which is based on the popular video game series and is set for release Aug. 9.
