Even with all the voting advertisements out in the world, writer Joss Whedon decided to return to Twitter from his 19-month hiatus with what Yahoo describes as a “star-studded anti-Trump video.”
By now, you’ve probably heard all the messages you need to about how “your vote is important” and how “one person can make a difference.” But if you’re still not convinced, perhaps Whedon’s new video with “lots and lots of famous people repeating how important it is to register” will change your mind.
In this video, big-name celebrities encourage their young fans to get out and register by warning them about Republican candidate Donald Trump. Donald Cheadle, for instance, says, “A racist, abusive coward could permanently damage the fabric of our society.” Then, celebs Leslie Odom Jr., Julianne Moore, Neil Patrick Harris and Scarlett Johansson asks audiences, “Do we really want to give nuclear weapons to a man whose signature move is firing things?”
When asked how he approached these women and men for this video, Whedon explains to BuzzFeed, “It was pretty much the same spiel to everybody: ‘Doing a voting PSA to help get out the vote and stop orange Muppet Hitler.”
Will you get out and vote? If you do, these celebrities promise you that Mark Ruffalo will get naked in his next movie.
