Renowned actors from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johansson, have joined forces to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in her campaign for the presidency. This remarkable gathering of talent emphasizes the importance of participation in the upcoming election and highlights crucial issues facing America today.
Mark Ruffalo, famously known for his role as the Hulk, spearheaded the endorsement effort on Twitter. He urged citizens not to sit on the sidelines, warning, “This is the one where we will lose big: Project 2025, women’s reproductive rights, climate change, LGBTQIA+ rights, public education, student debt relief, Affordable Care Act, Social Security, and as of today, life-saving vaccines. This shit is real, and it’s going to come for you.”
A Star-Studded Video Message
The Avengers’ endorsement was delivered through a lively video that kicked off with Scarlett Johansson greeting the group, followed by Samuel L. Jackson’s playful correction, “I think you mean assembling!” Among the stars present were Black Panther’s Danai Gurira, Robert Downey Jr., and Chris Evans, each emphasizing the significance of voting this election cycle.
Danai Gurira expressed the group’s enthusiasm, stating, “It is our pleasure to come together and to get the vote out this election.” The Avengers humorously brainstormed potential catchphrases for Kamala Harris, ultimately settling on “I’m Kamala Harris, and I’m down with democracy.” While it remains uncertain whether Harris will adopt this catchy slogan, the backing of such influential figures can undoubtedly bolster her campaign.
A Legacy of Celebrity Support
Harris has received endorsements from a plethora of high-profile celebrities, further underscoring her popularity in the entertainment industry. Notable supporters include Leonardo DiCaprio, Beyoncé, Sarah Jessica Parker, and many more. Recently, on October 25, Beyoncé attended a rally for reproductive rights in Houston, passionately urging attendees to vote and proclaiming, “We must vote and we need you. It’s time to sing a new song… Are y’all ready to add your voice to the new American song?”
In a video shared on Instagram, Leonardo DiCaprio also voiced his support, stressing the urgency of addressing climate change. He declared, “Climate change is killing the earth and ruining our economy. We need a bold step forward to save our economy, our planet, and ourselves. That’s why I’m voting for Kamala Harris.”
