Several Avengers stars, including Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr, Don Cheadle, Paul Bettany, Danai Gurira, and Chris Evans, have come together to speak out about the importance of voting and to show their support for Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Avengers Encourage Voting and Support Kamala Harris
In a recent virtual reunion video shared on Thursday, these MCU stars urged people to exercise their right to vote and make their voices heard in the upcoming elections. They not only stressed the significance of voting but also expressed their backing for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Creating a Catchphrase for Kamala Harris
During the video, Robert Downey Jr suggested that Vice President Kamala Harris should have a catchy catchphrase. The group then attempted to brainstorm ideas, with Danai Gurira proposing “Kamala Forever,” a playful nod to Black Panther’s iconic “Wakanda Forever” phrase.
In the end, they settled on “I’m Kamala Harris, and I am down with democracy,” which was recited by Don Cheadle as they wrapped up the video. He even humorously asked if he sounded enough like her while delivering the line.
Amidst the lighthearted banter, Scarlett Johansson quizzically inquired about the number of Golden Globe nominations Don Cheadle had received, prompting laughter from the group. It was revealed that Don Cheadle has been nominated for six Golden Globes and has won twice.
#AssembleForDemocracy and Voting Advocacy
Sharing the video on his Instagram, Mark Ruffalo captioned it with a call to action: “We’re back. Let’s #AssembleForDemocracy. In the #ElectionEndgame, every vote counts 🗳️ #VoteBlue! Vote @kamalaharris @TimWalz.”
He also emphasized the critical issues at stake in the upcoming elections, including Project 2025, women’s reproductive rights, climate change, LGBTQIA+ rights, public education, student debt relief, Affordable Care Act, Social Security, and the importance of life-saving vaccines. Mark Ruffalo urged everyone not to sit this one out and to mobilize with three friends to ensure a positive outcome.
