Heroes recognise heroes!

Deadpool and The Hulk have thrown their support behind Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy this week calling him a real-life superhero.

The pair took to the red carpet at Netflix’s sci-fi film “The Adam Project” last night, but made sure eyes and ears were on the tragic events that are taking place in Europe and how we could help.

“What we’re seeing is this incredible outpouring of goodwill toward Ukrainian people and democracy at a time when democracy has been under attack throughout the world by Putin...” Ruffalo told Variety.

“It’s a beautiful representation of who we are as human beings and how we’ve come together, and the Ukrainian people are incredible. They’re heroes. Zelenskyy is a hero." he continued.

In 48 hours, countless Ukrainians were forced to flee their homes to neighboring countries. They need protection. When you donate, we’ll match it up to $1,000,000, creating double the support.⬇️ https://t.co/xCFL1Lptuw https://t.co/CHp48E1KLQ
