Ryan Reynolds has chimed in after Jamie Lee Curtis issued an apology on social media for her recent remarks on Marvel.

Yesterday (August 1), Curtis posted a lengthy tweet on X: “My comments about Marvel were stupid and I will do better,” she began.

She was referring to an MTV interview where she – along with her Borderlands castmates – was asked “What phase is Marvel in right now?”, to which she responded, “Bad”, before stifling her laughter.

In her tweet, she mentioned that she has since 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,” she added.

In response, Reynolds quote-tweeted Curtis’ tweet to add some levity to the situation, saying: “Wait, is everyone expected to apologize for slamming Marvel post-Endgame?”

This isn’t the first shot Curtis has taken at Marvel. In 2022, while promoting Everything Everywhere All At Once, she shared an Instagram post, writing that the film “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”.

Earlier this year, Lindsay Lohan confirmed that she and Curtis will reprise their roles for Freaky Friday 2, which has yet to receive a release date.

In NME’s three-star review of Deadpool & Wolverine, Paul Bradshaw wrote: “Where does the MCU go from here? With an endless loop of multiverse MacGuffins to fall back on, it can probably keep going as if none of this has happened.”

“But if the superhero era really is finally starting to wind down, Deadpool & Wolverine will always be remembered as the film that started dancing on the grave first – to a Madonna song.”
