LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a spirited show of support for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, the cast of Marvel's 'Avengers' films has joined forces just days before the US election.

Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Don Cheadle, Chris Evans, Danai Gurira, and Paul Bettany appeared in a playful video posted by Vanity Fair, urging viewers to make their voices heard at the polls.

The 90-second video begins with a video call featuring Johansson, who prompts her fellow cast members to brainstorm a catchy campaign slogan for Kamala Harris. Their humorous discussion leads to the questionable phrase “Down with Democracy,” which evolves into a dramatic Marvel-style campaign ad adorned with comic graphics and powerful music.

The video culminates with a clear message encouraging everyone to vote on November 5.

Mark Ruffalo, known for his role as the Hulk and a staunch advocate for progressive causes, emphasized the urgency of the election on social media. He warned, “Don’t sit this one out. It’s the one where we will lose big,” referencing critical issues such as women's reproductive rights and climate change.



 

Johansson shared insights about the video’s production, revealing that the collaborative effort felt reminiscent of their dynamic on-screen. “We’ve got a lot of powerful people on this thread, and it would be great to unite in hopefully creating a bit of a viral moment for Kamala,” she remarked, hoping it would motivate fans to engage in the voting process.

This initiative marks another high-profile endorsement for the Harris/Walz campaign, joining a slew of celebrity supporters, including Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and Oprah Winfrey.

The final days leading up to the election have seen an influx of endorsements from stars such as Beyonce, Madonna, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, further amplifying the call for voter participation.

‘Avengers’ cast faces backlash for video endorsing Kamala Harris

The 'Avengers' cast members have faced a strong online backlash following their recent video endorsing Kamala Harris, just days before the election. A wave of online commenters expressed frustration, questioning the blending of politics and entertainment.

Comments from fans on social media revealed a mix of disapproval and discomfort with the endorsement. “LMAO IM DONE WITH HOLLYWOOD BYEEE,” wrote one user.

Another added, “This gave me so much second-hand embarrassment.”



 



 

“They just play good people in movies. In real life, they're all pieces of s**t,” another commenter shared, while one asked, “Why can't we separate movies from politics, bro? Like this is so forced.”



 



 

The cast’s endorsement also sparked some pro-Trump responses, with one user commenting, “Another great reason to vote for President Trump,” and another quipping, “I don’t understand, is Kamala Harris an actress?”



 



 

Another said, "Thanos was right."



 

"The cringe is monumental here," a user said.
