Black Widow Toy Reveals Taskmaster with Black Panther Claws


We already know that Taskmaster will be using his signature weapons in Black Widow. But is it possible that the villain will also have something new in his hands in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe flick? The new images of the Taskmaster action figure may have revealed that he will have claws just like Black Panther.

The photos of the Black Widow toy by S.H. Figuarts were shared on Instagram by Marvel Studios Director of Visual Development Andy Park. Make sure to swipe through the post to see all the pictures.

"Those who know me know that I love toys! Especially toys that are well made. This first look from @s.h._figuarts is pretty incredible. Very film accurate! Taskmaster was a fun villain to design! A lot of hard work was put into this film by so many talented folks all led by the director, Cate Shortland. Soon!" Park wrote before adding the hashtags #BlackWidow, #Taskmaster, #marvel, #marvelstudios, #villian, #conceptart, #cantwait, #actionfigures, and #shfiguarts.

If you swiped through to the third image, you probably noticed those claws that look a lot like T'Challa's. Although we're not sure if Taskmaster has any connections to Wakanda, it's safe to say that we'll be seeing those claws in Black Widow since Park stated that the action figure is "very film accurate."

Black Widow is directed by Cate Shortland and will star Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, and Rachel Weisz. The film will premiere on May 1.
