Olga Kurylenko is Taskmaster

[psylockolussus]

They should have removed her from the film. I feel like its such a glaring mistake to have someone in posters only for them to unceremoniously kill that someone. Taskmaster was also in 1 scene (action scene) which lasted for about 5 minutes. It was also someone that they tried to "save" in Black Widow and Yelena was also in that movie with her. Just a mind boggling decision.

Should have set up another taskmaster she was waisted character must ha e been a easy paycheck for her

This sounds a lot better, than what we got in the movie!

Yeah they should have just removed her from the movie. She served no purpose but it felt like Marvel got rid to introduce a different version of the character down the line. So hopefully the decision pays off but it felt a little cruel here.

They honestly didn't even need the actress to come back for this role.

If I had to say something positive, her costume looked great in this movie.

 

[psylockolussus]

She looked cool.

And I also don't see the need for Mcu to introduce a second Taskmaster. There's hundreds of villains out there.

 

[FlareKnight]

I didn't mind that they killed her off. Mostly because it does feel like they did that so they can have a real Taskmaster be introduced later. And Taskmaster can be a cool villain so it's nice to have that spot freed up. Just acknowledging that it was a bad idea and cleaning the slate.

Not crazy either that someone in that scenario would get killed. Not all that bad for the actress either. Gets a payday for very little time on set.

 

[psylockolussus]

I really doubt they would reintroduce a second Taskmaster that is faithful to the comics.

To be honest, I wasn't upset or sad that Taskmaster got killed early. Her powerset is just copying everyone else's fighting techniques, which makes her a much better villain going up against the heroes than a hero herself. If anything, the Thunderbolts was a little too heavy on the melee/shooter combatants with Walker, Yelena, Red Guardian and Bucky being the majority of the team, so adding another one wasn't needed. Ghost had the most unique powersets of the team, with Sentry just tagging along until it was time to be the main threat.

Having the character for 2 minutes is just a waste opportunity, since they plastered Taskmaster in a lot of marketing materials. I don't think any Taskmaster fan would be proud of the role they've presented in this film.

 

[nachtschicht]

She shouldn't have been in this. Whatever they were trying to do didn't work. At all.

 

[psylockolussus]

They should have cut Taskmaster before filming, and that could have lowered their budget. I really expected Taskmaster and Yelena to interact and we got that.

On the contrary many Taskmaster fans are happy this happened bc it paves the way for the actual comic version to make his debut. The MCU version was a hot mess that no Taskmaster fan wanted. She honstly should have been killed of or at least retired as Taskmaster in Black Widow. Antonia was barely a character and not one worth saving

 

[psylockolussus]

Her character wasn't even good in Black Widow and I liked that movie.
