Jamie Lee Curtis has revealed that she would accept a role in the Everything Everywhere All at Once. The actress recently critiqued Marvel Studios when promoting Everything Everywhere All at Once on social media.
A notable figure in Hollywood, Curtis has had a number of acclaimed, iconic roles across her career. From influential horror final girl Laurie Strode, real-estate mogul and Thromby family heir Linda Drysdale, and the many versions of IRS inspector Deirdre Bauebeirdre, Curtis is a beloved actress recognizable to many fans. While the actress is no stranger to starring in franchises, with Halloween Ends, Curtis has recently been critical of the output of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on social media. However, despite her criticisms, the actress won't rule out a possible appearance in the franchise if the opportunity arose.
In an interview with People, Curtis reflected on her recent social media critiques of the MCU, stating that she feels that the studio may not approach her due to her competitive posts. Despite doubting any future opportunities may appear, the star did iterate that she would gladly work with the studio provided that she found the potential role interesting. However, Curtis also emphasized that she would fear that a potential MCU role would likely involve her just performing motion-capture work. Check out Curtis' response below
"Honestly, I can't imagine that they will ever come calling because I kicked up some dust. But I'm a collaborating artist. I work with a lot of people on a lot of different things, and if the role was interesting and if I could bring what I do to it, of course, I would [work with Marvel]. What am I going to do, say no? Of course!
But I would find it hard to imagine that Marvel's going to figure out something to do with a 64-year-old woman. I'm afraid if I do a Marvel movie, they're going to stick dots all over me and make me act by myself in a warehouse somewhere."
Curtis first critiqued Marvel Studios' large-scale budgets in a social media post in May when promoting the then recently released Everything Everywhere All at Once. On her personal Instagram , Curtis praised Everything Everywhere All at Once before highlighting how the film cost less to produce than a Marvel production's catering budget, joking that the post would prevent her from being cast by the studio in the future. Curtis soon followed with further critiques of Marvel Studios when sharing a behind-the-scenes video of Everything Everywhere, highlighting how sequences such as her fight scene with Michelle Yeoh were created without the effects that are used heavily in Marvel Studios' productions.
Curtis has shown to be enthusiastic about taking on a varied number of roles, One Piece live-action series to praising the production of Everything Everywhere as a notable and enjoyable experience of her career. While her openness to star in an MCU film may come as a surprise to some due to her previous critiques, the right filmmaker and role may win over the star. With Curtis being open to a Marvel Cinematic Universe role, fans of the star and the franchise may wonder what Marvel Comics character Curtis could bring to life.
