This can be a very bizarre scenario Curtis is in, as a result of she’s not saying something notably vicious. Once more, folks have been fairly express about pondering the newest phases haven’t been as robust as earlier ones, and infrequently significantly harsher than Curtis. This isn’t even the primary time she’s taken swipes on the franchise; again when Doctor Strange 2 got here out, she known as its major poster a ripoff of 1 from The whole lot All over the place All at As soon as. It additionally doesn’t seem to be anybody at Marvel’s brazenly felt a approach about her feedback like they did when Martin Scorcese or different filmmakers have made related statements. After her apology, Deadpool & Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds threw her a lifeline by declaring the double customary at play.
A few of that is tousled in Curtis being in Disney’s Haunted Mansion reboot and presently filming Freaky Friday 2. By means of that lens, positive, she in all probability shouldn’t be speaking shit, however Deadpool additionally takes an much more pointed jab on the MCU within the movie correct. If Disney is the one who acquired her to problem an apology, they will’t actually have it each methods. And if it was simply as a result of public outcry…too dangerous? Jamie Lee Curtis is 65 years previous, and she or he ought to get to crack jokes or not like films different folks do. Followers have been steadily transformed into ballistic missiles for companies to make use of when wanted, and it’s a not nice signal that this occurred within the first place.
Marvel’s going to get well from its tough patch finally, and Deadpool & Wolverine’s on the trail to creating $1 billion and taking the highest spot for a lot of’s “better of 2024” lists. Let Curtis and anybody else dwell their fact–if you wish to let folks take pleasure in issues, you must also allow them to freely be the most important haters.
