Hollywood star Mark Ruffalo might be trading his Avengers suit for a political one.

The 58-year-old actor, best known for smashing it as The Hulk, told Us Weekly he hasn’t ruled out stepping into politics to “do something good” for millions of Americans.

“It isn’t on my game card right now, but who knows. You never say never,” Mark said. 

“Acting is for the people, and I love the people. Politicians could be doing something good for the people too.”

The Now You See Me actor also praised New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, 34, a Democratic Socialist who made history by taking the oath on a Quran during his swearing-in on January 1. 

“Seeing Mamdani’s win has really excited me about what’s possible in the United States right now,” he said.

A fierce critic of Donald Trump, Shutter Island star didn’t hold back, slamming both major US parties for being “completely captured by corporations” and leaving working Americans to suffer.

“It’s bulls***. If the people in America weren’t suffering, we wouldn’t be where we are right now,” he added. 

“It’s time for a new America that’s for the working people—the plurality of this country.”

It's worth noting that it's not the first time he shared his opinion on politics.

For those unfamiliar, he has previously voiced support for Joe Biden, calling him “an honorable man” while labeling Trump a “liar” during the 2020 Presidential race.

Whether Poor Things lead will ever step into the political ring remains to be seen, but if he does, it seems Marvel’s green hero might just fight for real-life heroes.
