Jamie Lee Curtis Calls Out Doctor Strange 2 & Marvel Budgets In New Post
Jamie Lee Curtis has criticized the huge budgets of Marvel and compared her recent multiverse movie Everything Everywhere All at Once to Marvel's latest blockbuster film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Doctor Strange 2 premiered in theaters this weekend. The film is capitalizing on the success of introducing the multiverse to the MCU, following Loki season 1 introducing the concept of variants and Spider-Man: No Way Home taking that one step further. The latter project also featured Benedict Cumberbatch as the sorcerer Doctor Strange using a spell gone wrong to collapse the Spider-Man multiverse in on itself (including villains and heroes from Sam Raimi's 2002 Spider-Man trilogy and Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man and its sequel), to the tune of a box office-smashing run that positioned No Way Home as the #3 highest-grossing domestic film of all time.
The multiverse is proving to be a draw at every level, however. The new film Everything Everywhere All at Once stars Curtis, Michelle Yeoh, Key Huy Wuan, and Stephanie Hsu in a sci-fi action tale about a woman who discovers she must use the skills of every multiversal variant of herself to save the universe from an existential threat. That project, which is having an unprecedented box office run for an indie A24 film, cost $25 million, about an eighth of the $200 million production budget for Doctor Strange, with the disparity likely increasing tenfold when it comes to publicity, advertising, and merchandising expenses, which are not accounted as part of a film's budget.
