Jamie Lee Curtis Continues to Criticize Marvel: Takes Another Shot at MCU
The star of ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ shares her candid thoughts on the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe during San Diego Comic-Con
Jamie Lee Curtis, known for her witty social media presence, recently took another jab at the Marvel Cinematic Universe, comparing it unfavorably to her film, the Oscar-winning *Everything Everywhere All at Once*. Curtis humorously noted the absence of “a dynamite dildo fight scene as well as a very erotic hotdog hand-mating dance” in *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness*. She praised her film’s “deep BEATING heart, BRILLIANT visual treats, EXTRAORDINARY performances, and FANTASTIC BEASTLY FIGHT SCENES,” all achieved on a budget smaller than Marvel’s craft service costs.

During San Diego Comic-Con, Curtis escalated her critique. When asked by MTV to identify the current phase of the MCU, Curtis bluntly responded, “Bad.” This sparked reactions from her *Borderlands* co-stars.
Walker Scobell of *Percy Jackson and the Olympians* guessed Phase 6. *Rings of Power* actress Ema Horvath suggested, “A transitional phase.” James McAvoy, known for his role in *X-Men*, correctly identified Phase 5. Mackenzie Davis jokingly called it the “Death” phase, prompting McAvoy to quip, “Hey Marvel, she just terminated you.”
Christian Slater also accurately noted that the MCU is in Phase 5. The upcoming *Fantastic Four: First Steps* will kick off Phase 6 in mid-2025.
