Were in the Endgame now.

With a week to go before the presidential election, a super-powered video calling on people to vote is going viral thanks to the help of director Kevin Smith and some of the biggest Marvel personalities.

One Week from Today: ASSEMBLE! Voting is the ENDGAME! Smith tweeted along with the video on Tuesday.

In the video, a Captain America speech from Avengers: Endgame plays over footage of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris , calling the upcoming election the fight of our lives.
