James Gunn, the director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, has revealed the answer to a long-running mystery on the set: who has been sending him Rick and Morty items every day?

Gunn routinely tweeted images of toys arriving on his director’s chair on social media throughout production for the Marvel Cinematic Universe film, with no indication of who had placed them there.

“The #RickandMorty figure culprits have come forward; it was, as many have guessed, a group activity with our senior VFX wrangler Ron Underdahl, who started it all, video assist Porkchop, who made operations flow smoothly, & our VFX supervisor Stef, who financed the operation,” he finally tweeted.
