Borderlands star Curtis apologizes to Marvel, contacts Feige

Jamie Lee Curtis recently issued a public apology concerning her controversial comments about the Marvel Cinematic Universe during an interview promoting the upcoming Borderlands movie. Curtis had remarked that Marvel is currently in a "bad" phase, which quickly went viral. Addressing the backlash, Curtis reached out to Marvel chief Kevin Feige and expressed regret on social media, aiming to steer clear of unnecessary online controversies moving forward.

Marvel Studios has acknowledged its recent struggles but aims for a strong comeback with Deadpool & Wolverine, which features Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman and has already set major box office records. Additionally, Disney announced a more measured release strategy for Marvel content, limiting to three movies and two shows per year to maintain quality.

The Borderlands movie, starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black, is scheduled to release on August 8, promising a Guardians of the Galaxy-style adventure.

The movie's all-star cast, including Curtis and Blanchett, adds to the anticipation for fans of the franchise.
