Disney stars Mark Ruffalo, Pedro Pascal speak out to support Jimmy Kimmel

Jimmy Kimmel's suspension is continuing to draw outrage throughout the entertainment industry, and some major Disney stars are standing up for the comedian.

Mark Ruffalo, who stars as the Hulk in Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe, said in a Sept. 20 post on Threads that the company's stock will "go down a lot further if they cancel" Kimmel's show permanently.

"Disney does not want to be the ones that broke America," Ruffalo wrote.

ABC, which is owned by Disney, suspended "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Sept. 17 after facing pressure from the Federal Communications Commission over the comedian's comments that "the MAGA gang" was "desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them."
