Jamie Lee Curtis has officially reached out to Marvel president Kevin Feige to kiss the ring and apologize for her 'stupid' comments about MCU superhero films.
The drama all started last Friday when the 65-year-old Oscar winner was attending San Diego Comic-Con to promote her new movie Borderlands.
When MTV's Joshua Horowitz quizzed her 'What phase is Marvel in right now?' Jamie quickly replied: 'Bad.'
Curtis' wisecrack clearly amused her male co-stars Edgar Ramírez and Florian Munteanu while Borderlands director Eli Roth attempted to hide his face.
The Halloween alum's comments were included in a sort of sizzle reel posted by MTV on Wednesday, and it took less than 24 hours for her to feel the blowback from MCU fans.

'If I'm a leader, then a leader shouldn't talk s*** about other collaborative art form creators,' Jamie - who boasts 11.5M social media followers - wrote on Instagram.
'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.'
The 51-year-old producer - whose films have amassed a combined $30B - showed no signs of slowing the Marvel money-making train while re-introducing Robert Downey Jr. at Comic-Con as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday (2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (2027).
Kevin's most recent phase five offering - Deadpool & Wolverine - starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman is currently the No. 1 movie in the world after amassing an eye-popping $545.9M (and decent reviews) at the global box office in its first week.
And this wasn't the first time Curtis threw shade at Marvel as her indie multi-verse movie Everything Everywhere All at Once was in direct competition with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness at the box office back in 2022.
'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?' the Just One More Sleep author wrote at the time.
'And it cost less than the entire craft service budget on Doctor Strange and/or any other Marvel movie. Competitive? F*** yes. I wasn't head cheerleader in high school for nothing.'
Everything Everywhere All at Once wound up earning $143.4M (off a $14.3M budget) with rave reviews and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness amassed $955.8M (off a $350.6M budget) with moderate reviews.

The Haunted Mansion actress' other upcoming film include James L. Brooks' political drama Ella McCray, Amazon comedy series The Sticky, and Gia Coppola's drama The Last Showgirl.
Jamie calls herself the 'OG nepo baby' having had a leg up in showbusiness thanks to her famous parents Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis.
