The Avengers cast is re-assembling to support Joe Biden

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is amassing an impressive list of celebrity supporters in the run-up to the November 3 election. The latest squad to come forward as pro-Joe is the cast of Marvel’s blockbuster Avengers franchise and its directors. On October 20, the team will reunite (“assemble” if you prefer) alongside VP candidate Kamala Harris for a virtual fundraiser that is almost guaranteed to pull in massive numbers of fans. Think of it as Comic-Con-meets-DNC.Dubbed the "Voters Assemble!" event, Avengers Chris Evans, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Paul Rudd and Zoë Saldana will "unite for Democracy" in support of Biden and Harris.

For a donation to the Joe Biden Victory Fund, Marvel fans will be treated to a Q&A session plus a round of Avengers trivia hosted by brothers and co-directors Anthony Russo and Joseph Russo—the filmmaking team behind Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.The Russos are promising that the event will feature “lots of new behind the scenes stories” from the sets of their four Marvel films.Avengers alums like Don Cheadle, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans and Zoë Saldana, in particular, have been passionate about their election activism. Long-time activist Cheadle has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump since his election and has only ramped up efforts to spread crucial information and get his fans and followers out to the polls. Ruffalo's social media presence mirrors the same effort and he also joined other A-listers in a recent PSA aimed at getting the internet’s fickle attention by appearing naked (for democracy!). The ad—which also included Chris Rock, Tiffany Haddish, Naomi Campbell, Amy Schumer and more—explains and encourages the process of mail-in voting.[video_embed id='2055018']RELATED: Demi Lovato drops political ballad ‘Commander in Chief’ [/video_embed]Chris Evans has launched an online platform, A Starting Point, where citizens can watch elected officials answer questions, discuss policy and debate the issues for a greater understanding of their own democracy leading up to the election and beyond.
