Joss Whedon and his celebrity friends want you to vote on election day
What happens when Joss Whedon puts Stanley Tucci, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Keegan-Michael Key, Robert Downey Jr, Leslie Odom Jr. and more in one video? You pay attention.
On Wednesday, the Avengers writer and director debuted a promotional video for his new super PAC Save The Day, a digital production company that's "dedicated to the idea that voting is a necessary and heroic act."
The promotional clip features celebrities urging Americans to vote come November.

The video doesn't mention presidential candidates Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump by name. Rather, actor Don Cheadle references a "racist, abusive coward that could permanently damage the fabric of our society."
While the video is somewhat lighthearted, encouraging voters on the grounds that Ruffalo will do a nude scene in his next movie as a reward for voting, it addresses what Whedon sees as a real problem in the U.S: A lot of Americans feel that voting is useless and their votes don't matter.
Save The Day stresses that voting can save our country for our children and our communities and that, "all it takes is all of us."
In an interview with Buzzfeed, Whedon says he was inspired to create Save the Day after the first day of the Democratic convention, when Bernie Sanders supporters threatened not to vote for Hillary Clinton come election day. As a result Save the Day is up and running, complete with state-by-state information on voter registration.
