Jamie Lee Curtis Apologises for Marvel Criticism
The Marvel Cinematic Universe films such as Eternals, Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder and The Marvels turned out to be the big disappointment for the studio with many calling it a decline after 2019's Avengers: End Game. Now Joe and Anthony Russo, the brothers duo who directed one of the biggest hits for Marvel in Avengers: Endgame, are back in Marvel fold to direct the next two films -- Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
Robert Downey Jr, who played Iron Man for over a decade in multiple Marvel films, is returning as the villain, Dr Doom, in the two movies. Ryan Reynolds, who recently starred in Marvel's action-comedy Deadpool & Wolverine alongside Hugh Jackman, had a fun take on the whole fiasco. "Wait, is everyone expected to apologize for slamming Marvel post-Endgame?" the actor said on X.
