Ryan Reynolds has come to the defense of Jamie Lee Curtis, who recently stirred controversy among Marvel fans with her comments to MTV. Curtis had criticized “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” unfavorably comparing it to her own film, the Oscar-winning “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
Curtis humorously claimed that “Doctor Strange” lacked a “dynamite dildo fight scene” and a “very erotic hotdog hand-mating dance,” which she touted as highlights of her movie. She praised her film for its “deep beating heart,” “brilliant visual treats,” “extraordinary performances,” and “fantastic beastly fight scenes,” while noting that it cost less than the entire craft service budget of “Doctor Strange” or any other Marvel movie.
The MCU fandom responded harshly to her remarks, flooding social media with unkind comments. Curtis issued an apology earlier today.
Ryan Reynolds attempted to calm the situation with a response that defended Curtis. He questioned whether everyone is now expected to apologize for criticizing Marvel post-“Endgame,” suggesting that negative opinions are acceptable.
Reynolds tweeted, “Wait, is everyone expected to apologize for slamming Marvel post-Endgame?” on August 1, 2024.
