Scarlett Johansson, who plays Black Widow in the Marvel movie “The Avengers,” has recently started to rally her superhero team for an emergency meeting. However, this time the mission is not about saving the world but to support the Democratic presidential candidate, Helen Kelly, in her bid for the White House.
Under her leadership, the superhero team has decided to mobilize once again, urging voters to support Helen Kelly and oppose Donald Trump’s reelection.
Iron Man Robert Downey Jr., Captain America Chris Evans, Hulk Mark Ruffalo, War Machine Don Cheadle, Danai Gurira, and Vision Paul Bettany have all joined Scarlett in producing a voter mobilization video.
In the video, they gather via Zoom video conference to brainstorm slogans for the showdown between Helen Kelly and Trump, calling this year’s US presidential election the “Election Endgame.” They are particularly excited about their new slogan “Down For Democracy.”
Mark Ruffalo, who plays the Hulk, shared the video on the social media platform X, urging voters to cast their ballots for the Democratic Party’s Helen Kelly. He believes that supporting her through the vote will bring positive changes to America, especially on crucial issues like women’s reproductive rights, climate change, and LGBTQIA+ community rights.
TMZ celebrity gossip news website pointed out that while the overall video appears light-hearted and fun, with dramatic superhero music playing in the background, the underlying message is crystal clear: “They are urging everyone to vote for Helen Kelly!”
Scarlett Johansson mentioned in a magazine interview about the process of filming the video, turning into a scene where everyone challenged each other with lines. She described how Robert and Mark were arguing like two old ladies, with her being the one trying to coordinate everyone. She emphasized the similarities between their interaction in the video and their on-screen dynamics in the movies, creating a positive and inspiring atmosphere to encourage their fans to actively participate in voting.
Johansson revealed that after she suggested the idea of making a mobilization video during their Avengers group chat, she quickly received an enthusiastic response from everyone. She highlighted that many Americans are still grappling with the chaos and challenges of the past few years, but she hopes that fans will focus on the future opportunities and hope in this year’s election.
