The Avengers Stars Reunite to Endorse Kamala Harris in New Video

Nov 2, 2024

As Election Day nears, Scarlett Johansson had her fellow Avengers join forces for a get-out-the-vote video.

In a video shared by Vanity Fair, Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Don Cheadle, Danai Gurira and Paul Bettany came together on a Zoom call to brainstorm a new catchphrase for Kamala Harris as she takes on Donald Trump. Some of their suggestions referenced moments from their respective movies, including Iron Man and Black Panther.

“It just immediately turned into people trying to one-up each other with one-liners,” Johansson told the magazine about the video. “Robert and Mark, bickering like two old ladies. And, of course, I’m the person that’s just trying to organize everybody. It’s very similar to what our dynamic is in the films. It was wonderful to feel everybody assemble around it, and hopefully it will engage our fans in the process of voting.”

While it can be a daunting challenge to get everyone’s schedules to align for a project like this, the Fly Me to the Moon star said she’s actually never “gotten so many immediate responses from these people” after she pitched the idea in their Avengers group text.

“Everybody is so busy and insanely spread out. Chris is shooting a movie in Bulgaria. Robert is currently treading the planks on Broadway. Mark is doing a movie. Danai is canvassing in Atlanta. Don is, I don’t know, probably on a golf course somewhere,” she joked. “I was in the Grand Canyon. We were somehow able to get everybody on Zoom at the same time, which was crazy and hilarious.”

While Johansson acknowledges that people are still processing “a tumultuous several years,” she urges them to keep their focus on the future when casting their vote this year.

“You’re not really voting for four years, you’re voting for eight. I’ve certainly met people who are just disenfranchised. They feel very much like there’s some inevitable outcome,” the Black Widow star said. “That kind of fatigue is what leads to complacency. I just hope people exercise their right to vote and participate, especially young people, because obviously it’s their future.”

Johansson added that she’s endorsing Harris because “kindness is a very important factor in who I would like to see running this country. Compassion is also another very important quality, which she has. Trump — I think he’s maybe incapable of feeling that feeling. The terrifying piece is to have a leader that is not capable of compassion.”
