Scarlett Johansson Recruits The Avengers to Sway Voters from Donald Trump

by

As a lifelong Marvel fan, seeing the original Avengers team back together for such an important cause is nothing short of exhilarating! The camaraderie and wit that these superheroes display on screen are truly unparalleled, and it’s heartening to see them put their powers to use off-screen as well.

As the U.S. presidential election draws near, within just a few days, the original Avengers have regrouped to face off against Donald J. Trump, the former president who has been convicted. Even though the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) ceased the superhero team after a ten-year run on screen, some of the world’s most prominent film stars have come together to oppose Trump’s candidacy.

In a video shared by Vanity Fair, stars from the Avengers film series such as Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Don Cheadle, Danai Gurira, and Paul Bettany are seen encouraging the public to vote. They also try to come up with amusing lines for Kamala Harris, who is currently a vice president candidate. During this online Zoom meeting, their camaraderie shines brightly as they encourage people to submit their ballots on November 5th, supporting the incumbent. The video concludes by providing the link to iwillvote.com, an informative resource for those seeking guidance about the voting process in the days leading up to the deadline. Johansson admitted that this video is aimed at creating a viral moment to motivate people to vote for Harris.

Instead of merely poking fun at one another, we also exchange info regarding various happenings and charity events. This platform has some influential individuals, and it’d be fantastic if we could pool our resources…with the hope of sparking a significant social media trend for Kamala.

According to Johansson, gathering the first Avengers team turned out to be less challenging than anticipated. Despite each member being engaged in separate ventures across various nations, everyone promptly responded when summoned.

As a movie critic, I find myself marveling at the whirlwind of activities that keep my friends scattered across the globe. Chris is immersed in filmmaking magic in Bulgaria, Robert is gracefully dancing on Broadway planks, Mark is engrossed in his own movie project, Danai is actively campaigning in Atlanta, and I recently returned from a breathtaking sojourn at the Grand Canyon. Somewhere out there, Don must be enjoying a leisurely round of golf. Yet, despite our hectic schedules, a miracle unfolded – we managed to gather everyone on a Zoom call simultaneously! It was nothing short of extraordinary and side-splittingly funny.

Celebrities Going All-Out Against Donald Trump

Many famous personalities are supporting Trump, among them Zachary Levi who used to act in DC shows. However, there’s been a surge of notable artists speaking out against the ex-president. Moreover, several Marvel characters have expressed their views on the upcoming US election. Dave Bautista from Guardians of the Galaxy drew attention by criticizing Trump for his harmful speech. Recently, Aubrey Plaza condemned a joke made at a Trump rally about Puerto Rico being a floating heap of trash. As both candidates are making their final arguments, more celebrities seem to be feeling the urgency to make last-minute statements.

Among all the Avengers who appeared in the video, it’s evident that Johansson showed a strong interest in the topic at hand. She openly shared her candid views about another potential Trump presidency with Vanity Fair, thereby expressing that this election holds personal significance for her.

As a film enthusiast, I’m reflecting on the reality that my 10-year-old daughter lives in. I can’t help but ponder the potential harm inflicted – not just politically and socially, but also environmentally – under the Trump administration. It seems like we’re teetering on a precipice, and the need to act is palpable, almost like an emergency situation. It feels incredibly urgent to back alternatives that steer us away from this course.
