Mark Ruffalo warns Trump during voting rights event

Mark Ruffalo delivered a strong warning to Donald Trump during a voting rights event in New York, urging the president to stay away from the voting process before joking that he was ready to “Hulk out.”

The Avengers star spoke at the Hands Off Our Vote event on Sunday night, where he encouraged supporters to stay involved ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. The event also featured Robert De Niro and several other speakers who highlighted the importance of voter participation and protecting elections.

Ruffalo described the upcoming election as an important moment and warned the crowd about possible attempts to interfere with voters. He encouraged people to support Free Speech for People, an organization involved in efforts related to election security and voting systems.

During his speech, Ruffalo directly addressed Trump and urged voters to stand against policies they oppose. He also accused the administration of creating an atmosphere in which people could feel intimidated, discouraged, or powerless.

“We’re not going to let ’em,” Ruffalo told the crowd before delivering his strongest message of the night. “Hands off our f***ing vote!”

His comments received a loud reaction from the audience. One person shouted, “You tell ’em, Hulk!” The comment referred to Ruffalo’s long-running role as Bruce Banner and the Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Ruffalo laughed at the reference and decided to play along with the crowd. “I’m gonna Hulk out. You won’t like me when I’m angry,” he said. He also reminded the audience that he remains involved with the Marvel character and is still playing the Hulk.

The actor ended his appearance with a message encouraging supporters to remain confident and active. He urged them not to become afraid or discouraged, stressing that people should stand together, remain brave, and make their voices heard through voting.

Ruffalo has regularly used his public platform to speak about political and social issues. His latest appearance comes as political activity increases ahead of the midterm elections, with voting rights, election security, and voter participation becoming major topics of public debate.

Beyond his political activism, Ruffalo has built a successful career across film, television, and theater. He began working professionally in the late 1980s and gained early recognition through his performances in Kenneth Lonergan’s play This Is Our Youth in 1996 and the drama film You Can Count on Me in 2000.

He later appeared in several popular films, including the romantic comedies 13 Going on 30 and Just Like Heaven. His other notable projects include the thrillers In the Cut, Zodiac, and Shutter Island. In 2006, he received a Tony Award nomination for his supporting performance in the Broadway revival of Awake and Sing!

Ruffalo became internationally known after taking on the role of Bruce Banner and the Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He first appeared as the character in The Avengers in 2012 and went on to reprise the role in several other Marvel films.

His acting career has also earned him major awards recognition. Ruffalo received four Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actor for his performances in The Kids Are All Right, Foxcatcher, Spotlight, and Poor Things.
