Marvel's Mark Ruffalo and other celebrities are condemning Disney's decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live! after pressure from the FCC and affiliates over a joke about Donald Trump. The suspension followed threats of action from FCC Chair Brendan Carr and pressure from large affiliate owners like Nexstar and Sinclair, who replaced the show with a tribute to Charlie Kirk. Ruffalo, along with Tatiana Maslany and Pedro Pascal, voiced their opposition, citing concerns about free speech and Disney's stock drop. Hollywood guilds are protesting, and criticism highlights the conflict between free speech, political pressure, and corporate interests.
