GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Director James Gunn Chimes in About Mysterious Russo Bros. Twitter Account - UPDATE
UPDATE 7/24/15 10:35 p.m. Eastern: These tweets by Gunn have been deleted. The conspiracy theory grows stronger.
The following is the original post.

Yesterday, a mysterious Twitter account for the Russo Bros. emerged posting intriguing images (see the post link below). Several of the images were theorized to be potential teases for CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR and what could have been teasing glimpses at the new SPIDER-MAN suit.
Well, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 director James Gunn wants none of this conspiracy theory talk. So he took to his Twitter account to pretty much shut down all the speculation.
It’s not @Marvel Russo Bros; according to Joe they don’t have Twitter nor will they ever https://t.co/5vjcJSGqKo

He is referring to Joe Russo, by the way. But what about the other Russo Bros. Twitter account?
No. In the words of Joe, they are not now and never will be on social media. That’s why I’ve posted stuff for them. https://t.co/LmsIlXHoS7

And what about other Marvel producers, directors and actors who are following that account now?
@AdamZuge @JimViscardi Celebrities and Marvel employees get fooled all the time. I followed a fake Bautista on Instagram for months.

So unless Gunn is in on this weird, viral marketing tease routine it seems like it's just fans trolling Marvel fans.
