Ryan Reynolds defends Jamie Lee Curtis after Marvel criticism and takes inspiration from ‘Deadpool’

Ryan Reynolds is weighing on Jamie Lee Curtis‘Marvel’s criticism and subsequent apology… and the actor’s response to the situation would make Deadpool proud.

Here’s the deal… after JLC issued a sincere apology for recently claiming Marvel was in its “bad” phase, the “Deadpool & Wolverine” star chimed in and reminded everyone that Jamie Lee’s original joke actually wasn’t that serious… nor did it warrant an “I’m sorry.”

Ryan addressed X on Thursday amid Jamie Lee’s announcement that she would stop “throwing mud,” and RR made it clear that the apology wasn’t necessary in the first place.

He seemed to channel his rebellious Deadpool persona with his sentiment here, as he wrote… “Wait, is everyone expected to apologize for criticizing Marvel after Endgame?”

If we’re translating this correctly… Ryan is essentially saying that everyone is entitled to their opinion (even those who criticize Marvel)… so people can relax and not hold on to their opinions, which is in line with his character.

In fact, we’re right on that count: sources tell us that’s exactly what RR was going for here… namely, channeling Deadpool (who slams Marvel all the time) in real life.

Of course… it’s still a pretty bold move on Ryan’s part, given that he’s a guy… Marvel’s favorite right nowRemember, “Deadpool & Wolverine” has already grossed over half a billion dollars at the box office… and is on its way to… Breaking all kinds of records.

JLC has yet to respond to Ryan’s defense of her… but we’re sure she’s feeling the love, especially after sparking outrage among Marvel fans around the world.

Jamie Lee is not alone in her anti-Marvel stance… as a director Martin Scorsese has criticized the superhero franchise on several occasions. Not to mention, Jennifer Aniston, Seth Rogen, Reese witherspoon, Juan Cho and other stars have expressed their disinterest in donning the Marvel costume.

However, Marvel isn’t without a top-notch roster… as they just brought in… Robert Downey Jr. Back in the fold for a An exciting new villain roleSo we are sure that you are not worried about this drama.
