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

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

Ryan took to X on Thursday amid Jamie Lee’s announcement that she’d stop with the “mud slinging” — with RR making it clear the apology wasn’t necessary in the first place.

He seemed to channel his rebellious Deadpool character with his sentiment here, as he wrote … “Wait, is everyone expected to apologize for slamming Marvel post-Endgame?”

If we’re translating this correctly … Ryan is essentially saying everyone is entitled to their opinion (even ones that crap on Marvel) … so, people can relax with the pearl-clutching, which is in line with his character.

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

Of course … this is still a pretty bold move from Ryan, given he’s kind of the darling of Marvel right now. Remember, “Deadpool & Wolverine” has already brought in over half a billion dollars at the box office … and is on pace to break all sorts 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 from Marvel fans across the globe.

Jamie Lee isn’t alone in her anti-Marvel stance … as director Martin Scorsese has criticized the superhero franchise on a number of occasions. Not to mention, Jennifer Aniston, Seth Rogen, Reese Witherspoon, John Cho and other stars have voiced their disinterest in suiting up for Marvel.

Marvel isn’t without an A-list roster, however … as they just brought Robert Downey Jr. back into the fold for an exciting new villain role. So, we’re sure they’re not sweatin’ this drama.

All in good fun, right?
