Stephen Colbert’s ‘Late Show’ turned the upcoming US presidential campaign into a spoof movie trailer and the video is now making the rounds of the internet.
Taking inspiration from the hit Avengers Endgame movie, the short film is titled ‘America: Endgame’ and features Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden as Captain America facing off against President Donald Trump, who appears as Thanos.
The trailer also features former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama. Biden’s running mate and vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris also makes an appearance in the video.
Taking to Twitter, the official handle of the ‘Late Show’ shared the video saying, “Joe Biden says this year’s election is “The Battle for the Soul of the Nation,” but we’re calling it something else. #LateShowLIVE”.
Take a look here:
The trailer came out even as the virtual 2020 Democratic National Convention was underway at the Wisconsin Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
