The cast of Marvel’s Avengers has reunited, not for a new movie, but to endorse Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election.
In a video clip posted on X, actors Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Don Cheadle, Paul Bettany, Danai Gurira, and Chris Evans urged fans to support the Harris-Walz ticket, emphasizing the high stakes of this election.
Mark Ruffalo led the charge with a post, writing, “We’re back. Let’s #AssembleForDemocracy. In the #ElectionEndgame, every vote counts. #VoteBlue! Vote @KamalaHarris @Tim_Walz.” His message quickly went viral, gathering support from fans across social media.
In a reply, Ruffalo warned followers of the issues at stake if Harris and Walz lose. “Don’t sit this one out. It’s 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 is real and it’s going to come for you.”
Ruffalo’s post reflects growing concerns among progressive advocates over Project 2025, a conservative agenda that seeks to roll back several Biden-era protections, including those on reproductive rights and climate policies.
Ruffalo added, “Take 3 friends and know, no matter what, you are a hero. Always give it all.” This call for collective action echoes the central theme of the Avengers movies, inspiring fans to make their voices heard at the polls.
The video clip featured each Avengers actor discussing the importance of voting. Danai Gurira voiced the group’s collective mission, saying, “It is our pleasure to come together and to get the vote out this election.” In a lighthearted moment, the cast even debated a slogan for Harris, eventually agreeing that she is “down with democracy,” highlighting her alignment with the values they champion.
This endorsement by the Avengers cast is the latest in a series of high-profile celebrity endorsements for Harris and Walz, following support from figures like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Oprah Winfrey. These endorsements aim to energize young and diverse voters, a demographic crucial for the Democrats in the upcoming election.
As Election Day approaches, both campaigns are turning to celebrity support to inspire voters. The Avengers cast’s endorsement reflects their commitment to democracy and calls on fans to act as “heroes” by voting.
Through this endorsement, they’re urging Americans to help shape the country’s future and protect crucial issues at risk in the 2024 election. For these actors, supporting Harris and Walz goes beyond politics—it’s about rallying for democracy and the values they believe in, inspiring fans to step up and make their votes count.
