Jamie Lee Curtis is not holding back when it comes to her thoughts on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and boy, is she serving some spicy shade.
Over the weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, while promoting her film *Borderlands*, Jamie and her costars were asked about the behemoth that is Marvel. Now, if you’ve been living under a rock or in a parallel universe, Marvel is currently knee-deep in its fifth phase of making superheroes more dramatic than your last breakup.
When the interviewer asked Jamie what phase the Marvel series was in, she didn’t miss a beat. Her answer? A single, devastating word: “Bad.” Boom. Roasted. The kind of burn that needs a whole bottle of aloe.
This isn’t Jamie’s first time wielding her sarcasm against the superhero juggernaut. Back in May 2022, she had some choice words for Marvel, specifically when they released *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness* around the same time her own film *Everything Everywhere All at Once* hit theaters. Jamie couldn’t help but point out the cosmic irony, saying, “Is it JUST me? Does it seem STRANGE that our tiny movie that could, did, and continues to do, is TRULY MARVELOUS, out-marvels any Marvel movie out there?”
But wait, there’s more! Jamie went full tilt with her comparison, reminding everyone that her film “COST LESS than the ENTIRE craft service budget on *Doctor Strange* or any other Marvel flick.” Ouch. That’s like saying your homemade cookies taste better than Gordon Ramsay’s—and somehow being right.
And in case you thought she was done, Jamie dropped the mic with one last jab: “COMPETITIVE? F-ck YES. I wasn’t head cheerleader in high school for nothing. And P.S., our movie has a dynamite dildo fight scene, a very erotic hotdog hand mating dance, and, oh yeah, rocks.” Yes, you read that right. Hotdogs, dildos, and rocks. Try fitting that into a Marvel movie, Kevin Feige!
Jamie Lee Curtis is out here reminding everyone that while Marvel might have the budget, she’s got the sass, the creativity, and yes, the hotdog hands to back it all up.
