By Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis has apologised and vowed to never again criticize the Marvel superhero franchise following a joke comment she made going viral on social media.
The video, published by MTV, was a collection of clips featuring host Josh Horowitz asking the question, “What phase is Marvel in right now?” to various actors from different shows and films at Comic-Con.
The clip begins with Curtis responding “bad” and then looking at the camera cheekily. Others in the clip try legitimate guess before Mackenzie Davis at the end says “Death”.
Now, Curtis has walked back the joke saying:
“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 gameplay that is designed for clicks, not content or conversation.”
The latter part of the sentence likely refers to the silly mini-games and unrelated questions that video interviews at junkets, especially among the more commercialised mainstream press, engage in with the sole aim of going viral on social media or Youtube. Curtis was at Comic-Con promoting “Borderlands” which has no connection to Marvel.
Accepting both right & wrong answers on any Marvel trivia questions @JoshuaHorowitz or I ask
