Paul Rudd distributes water at polling stations in Philadelphia

Marvel superhero Paul Rudd flew to a battleground state on Election Day to help out

During MSNBC's live coverage Tuesday afternoon, the 55-year-old star of “Ant-Man” and “Only Murders in the Building” was seen carrying a case of bottled water and sharing it with Philadelphia voters at the Temple polling place University queues.

After being approached by NBC News political and national correspondent Jacob Soboroff, Rudd stated, “I just wanted to give people water. They've been waiting in line for a long time, and it's a wonderful thing that all these young people aren't voting.”

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, waits at polling stations near Philadelphia-area colleges lasted up to two hours. According to the Inquirer, Rudd also attended Villanova University.

“We did a lot here in Pennsylvania today and wanted to tell these students that they are doing really great things,” Rudd added.

Last week, several of Rudd's “Avengers” co-stars voiced their support for Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign in a video posted to social media by Robert Downey Jr. – aka Iron Man.

Downey, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Paul Bettany, Danai Gurira and Chris Evans appeared in the Zoom-style video chat clip and engaged in a spirited debate over a slogan for the Harris-Walz campaign.

The Avengers, including Rudd, also gathered for a virtual fundraiser to benefit Joe Biden and Harris' 2020 campaign.

On the eve of Election Day, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Christina Aguilera, James Taylor, Jon Bon Jovi and Ricky Martin were among the celebrities who lent their star power to Harris on Monday night.

The musicians thrilled crowds across the country with performances and shared why they voted for Harris. “Kamala Harris is for us. It's for unity, it's for all Americans,” Martin told an audience in Philadelphia, while Aguilera encouraged fans in Las Vegas to “vote for freedom.”

In Philadelphia, Lady Gaga introduced Harris' husband Doug Emhoff and performed “God Bless America.”

“For much of this country’s life, women have not had a voice. Yet we raised children, we held our families together, we supported men in their decisions. But tomorrow women will be involved in this decision,” Gaga said. She added that she believed Harris would be a president “for all Americans.”
