Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, known for his role as Deadpool, has come to the defense of fellow actress Jamie Lee Curtis against cyberbullies. This comes after Curtis made a controversial statement about movies from the Marvel franchise.
Despite her reputation for speaking her mind, Jamie Lee Curtis has found herself facing backlash from fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe this week due to her candidness.
During the promotion of her new movie Borderlands, Curtis was questioned about the current phase of the MCU. Immediately, she responded with “bad.”
Some members of the fandom were disturbed by this response, indicating that they still remember when Curtis criticized Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, stating that it didn’t measure up to her own multiverse film Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Curtis was forced to issue an apology for her Marvel comment after facing backlash and harsh criticism from fans online. She expressed remorse in a post on her social media account, which can be found at the link: post.
“I deeply regret my previous statements about Marvel and I am committed to doing better in the future. I have personally apologized to Kevin Feige and have decided to refrain from participating in the negative and competitive online environment. I will no longer take part in promoting clickbait or engaging in meaningless online games, as they only serve to distract from meaningful discussions.”
However, actor Ryan Reynolds, known for his roles as Deadpool and Wolverine, refuses to accept this criticism. In a show of support, he retweeted Curtis’ post this week with the words: “Wait, are we all supposed to apologize for criticizing Marvel after Endgame?”
The response to Deadpool & Wolverine has been in line with the movie’s tone, as it is filled with jabs at the quality of recent Marvel films. Ironically, the same fans who have criticized these films have eagerly embraced the sequel, leading to a record-breaking opening weekend for the superhero movie.
