I mean, you never say never.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I mean, I spent a lot of time in that world, and acting &#8211; it\u2019s for the people. So, I love the people, and politicians could be doing something good for the people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The actor &#8211; known for playing Marvel superhero, The Hulk &#8211; went on to laud New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, 34, who ran as a  Democratic Socialist and made history during his swearing-in ceremony on January 1 when he became the first prominent US politician to take the oath on a Quran.<\/p>\n<p>\nMark said: &#8220;Seeing Mamdani\u2019s win in New York has really excited me about what\u2019s possible in the United States right now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Avengers star &#8211; who has been a fierce critic of 79-year-old US President Donald Trump &#8211; believes the country needs a new political direction that serves working people, as the Democratic and Republican parties have &#8220;become completely captured by corporations&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nMark said: &#8220;It\u2019s bulls***. And the people in America are suffering. If the people in America weren\u2019t suffering, we wouldn\u2019t be where we are right now. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;You know, it\u2019s a failure on both parties. They become completely captured by corporations, both parties. And it\u2019s time for a new America that is for the working people who were the plurality of this country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nIn October 2020, the Mickey 17 cast member accused Trump of being a &#8220;liar&#8221; following the final US Presidential debate with his Democrat rival, 83 year old Joe Biden &#8211; who was elected Commander-in-Chief that year &#8211; and for trying to mislead the US public.<\/p>\n<p>\nMark wrote on Twitter &#8211; now called X: &#8220;Trump is a liar, Biden is an honorable man who raised his boys on his own after his wife was killed in a car accident. (sic)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nLater, the Task star added: &#8220;I want to live in a country where we have a President who isn&#8217;t a colossal liar. #WithBidenWeCan (sic).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/mark-ruffalo-hints-political-career-1435758.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 January 2026 Mark Ruffalo could enter politics.
