Responses from the MCU: Vol. 2

Getting back to social media responses from the MCU movie crew on Black Lives Matter and the ongoing protests. Note: As I started working on this, I realized that a lot of MCU actors, especially big-name ones, either don't have Twitter or aren't very active on it. They may use their Instagram more, but I'll admit I don't have a ton of patience for Instagram. If it's not cross-posted, I probably won't find it!

In addition to doing a lot of retweeting, especially of articles and op-eds, Chris Evans (Cap!) posted this message:

I keep saying to myself ‘my god, what is happening?’. But in truth, I’m not shocked. At all. If you’re shocked, you haven’t been paying attention.

Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner,) is seems, is always politically active on social media. I appreciated this post from the early days of the protests:

When you listen to what’s beneath the rage, the destruction, the pain, you can clearly hear a whole people saying, “We are equal to you in every way. Why are our lives not worth the same as yours. In this America?”

Dave Bautista (Drax) was too prolific for me to get all the way back to late May - he loves posting anti-Trump stuff. Here's a good response to a Tucker Carlson take on the protests:

@TuckerCarlson here’s your history lesson for today Mr Propaganda Peddler. This country was built by slave labor and immigrants. The confedererates were racists traitors and the days of honoring them is over. It’s the first step in healing and it’s long overdue.Your dismissed. https://t.co/EM0F5uNoIC

Benedict Wong (Wong) retweeted this video of Rayshard Brooks being interviewed about the parole system several months before his murder:

This is #RayshardBrooks, in his own words.

In this heartbreaking interview filmed just four months ago, Brooks speaks about the agony of being trapped in a prison reentry and probation system that won’t let him get back on his feet. pic.twitter.com/oXAiT3815Z

Here's one from Brie Larson (Carol Danvers) sharing a video from activist Jane Elliott:
