There happens to be jokes in Deadpool & Wolverine about how bad the last five years of the MCU has been.
Recently, Jamie Lee Curtis slammed Marvel again, which followed her remarks about Marvel when Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was released.
Jamie Lee Curtis first slammed Marvel during Doctor Strange 2
Back then, her own multiverse movie, Everything Everywhere All at Once, was getting released, and she said, “Is it JUST me? Does it seem STRANGE that our tiny movie that could and did and continues to do ##1movieinamerica and is TRULY MARVELOUS, out marvels any Marvel movie they put out there @everythingeverywheremovie has a Marvel movie coming out with a copycat poster? Is this one of those Internet feuds?”
She also said, “[Everything Everywhere All at Once] cost less than the entire craft service budget on Doctor Strange and/or any other Marvel movie.” She later clarified to People magazine about the posts: “I have nothing against Marvel as an entity … What I was trying to talk about was it doesn’t have to be a Marvel movie in order to be a spectacle and to really move you.”
Jamie Lee Curtis says Marvel is bad

Jamie Lee Curtis apologizes
Her comments went viral, and then Jamie Lee Curtis issued an apology on X.
“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 game play that is designed for clicks not content or conversation,” she said.
