If Ryan Reynolds thought Joe and Anthony Russo wouldn't notice that he poked fun at their anti-spoiler campaign in his own letter to Deadpool 2 fans, he was sorely mistaken. This morning the Avengers: Infinity War directors poked back, using the middle finger of the Infinity Gauntlet.

The filmmakers responded this morning to the Deadpool parody of their #ThanosDemandsYourSilence letter with a photo of the glowing Infinity Gauntlet flipping the bird, accompanied by one word: "Boom ..." Reynolds responded with, "I deserve that."

The Russo brothers released an open letter in early April requesting that "the greatest fans in the world" refrain from spoiling details of Infinity War as the press tour kicked off ahead of the film's worldwide release. Reynolds & Co. upped the ante on Wednesday with a letter to "the greatest fans in the whole universe" that dropped potential spoilers on its way to the unwieldy hashtag #WadeWilsonDemandsYourSisterSorryStupidAutoCorrectSilence. It just rolls off the fingertips.
