“It’s Bad”: Jamie Lee Curtis Cashes In With Marvel
At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Jamie Lee Curtis took part in a quick Q&A session hosted by MTV to celebrate the unveiling of her new film Borderlands(which will be released on August 7) adapted from the cult video game. When asked about the current phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), she responded with a touch of humor: “Bad.” The same question was then asked to other actors. Obviously the question was two-way, knowing that a phase at Marvel corresponds to a cinematic era (we are currently in the fifth).

On social media, Curtis claimed that his film was the best exploration of the multiverse.
He later clarified that he has nothing against Marvel, noting that he has seen many films of the franchise. He simply wanted to show that a film is liked. Everything everywhere and all at onceWhile modest, it could tell a touching story of the multiverse without being a Marvel blockbuster.
