Black Widow Set Photos Reveal Mysterious Character in Costume, Is it Taskmaster?


While Kevin Feige refuses to acknowledge it, Marvel is currently working on a Black Widow movie; in fact, it's already in production. Several set photos have been shared across the internet, showing Natasha facing off against several mooks and the movie might even star original Black Widow, Yelena Belova. However, some new photos have shown a mysterious costume character that doesn't really resemble anyone in the comics.

So who do fans think it's going to be? The popular theory is that it's going to be Taskmaster since that villain has been rumored for months now. Having this popular villain in the MCU would be great for comic book fans but if this is his costume it's pretty disappointing. Let's hope he has a more comic-accurate look later down the line; movies tend to do that.

Little is known about the upcoming Black Widow movie, though it's easy enough to assume that it will be a prequel. Natasha did sacrifice herself during Avengers: Endgame to get the Soul Stone and Hulk confirmed that he couldn't bring her back with the snap, no matter how hard he thought of her. They could always do the Tales of Suspense route; reveal that she has a lot of clone bodies but that would be cheap.

Black Widow is likely to come out sometime in 2020. Marvel's just waiting till Spider-Man: Far From Home comes out before saying anything.
