The result of that call to action is a new get-out-the-vote video, debuting exclusively with Vanity Fair, featuring Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Don Cheadle, Danai Gurira, and Paul Bettany. “I don’t think I’ve ever gotten so many immediate responses from these people,” she tells VF. “Normally people trickle in, but immediately the group was super excited about it.”
Aligning the schedules of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars was daunting. “Everybody is so busy and insanely spread out,” she says. “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. I was in the Grand Canyon. Don is, I don’t know, probably on a golf course somewhere,” she jokes. “But we were able to get everybody…on a Zoom all together at the same time, which was crazy and hilarious.”
Although Shazam’s Zachary Levi recently referred to Trump’s closest comrades as the “Avengers,” the actual squad is throwing its support behind Harris. In the video, they attempt to craft a punchy catchphrase for the current vice president, riffing on 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,” says Johansson. “Robert and Mark, they’re 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 like everybody was able to assemble around it, and hopefully it will engage our fans in the process of voting.”
