'Avengers: Infinity War' Directors Clap Back at 'Deadpool 2' Dig in First-Ever Tweet

In their first-ever tweet, “Avengers: Infinity War” directors Joe and Anthony Russo took offense to a joke Ryan Reynolds made at Thanos’ expense when promoting his own Marvel film, “Deadpool 2.”

Under their shared twitter account, which had been tweet-free since it opened in 2015, the brothers gave Reynolds a simple message with an Infinity Gauntlet-powered flip of the bird — to which Reynolds replied, “I deserve that.”
