Early in the morning, Ruffalo obviously couldn't contain his excitement over being on the set with his friends, and responded to a response from Marvel (although it appears Marvel originally responded to Ruffalo, there is no sign the original tweet actually ever existed).
Flattery will get you nowhere! Probably. Maybe. *looks the other way* RT @MarkRuffalo: @Marvel I adore you.
