There's no conspiracy behind the accidental leak & it was not a ploy to build up hype. This is Eva, the anime that people have not stopped talking about since 1995, and the hype is strong. The new movie doesn't come out for at least another full year so there's no need in mid-to-late February to drum up excitement for the film. They'll have a whole year of proper marketing to do to drum up excitement for the film. I know this is 2019 & the world is insane but not everything is conspiracy.

A mistake was made. That's to be expected with social media where often a tweet can be a spontaneous thing. The best course of action for Khara would have been to just delete the tweet and act like it never happened. It took them a few days but that's what they're doing now.

Yeah now that they removed everything it looks like a mistake that was poorly managed. Thankfully it was fairly minor and it didn't spread too much.

I actually don't think it was that crazy of an assumption that it might have been intentional. Especially so shortly after inviting Hikari's actress.
Though I now also think it was just a mistake with all the deletions happening.

We were there when it happened fellow EvaGeeks.

If we hear anything more about the Twitter account itself, it will be about Khara actually hiring a Social Media Manager. Firing someone for this social media debacle suggests that someone was hired to do that to begin with instead of just one or more studio members pulling double duty. (I still doubt that Khara’s Twitter account is very structured in its current state.)

It's a conspiracy I say, a conspiracy!
