Fans Have Mixed Reactions About Taskmaster's Appearance from the Black Widow Trailer

The Black Widow trailer has impressed a lot of fans, giving us interesting versions of Yelena Boleva and The Red Guardian. However, fans can't say the same about the MCU version of Taskmaster, who now looks like some generic villain when compared to his bombastic looks in the comic books. While not everyone hates this version of Taskmaster, some fans even think that it's secretly Hawkeye, it's clear that the character could have looked more intimidating.

One fan is hopeful that Taskmaster does plenty of ass-kickings, despite how generic he looks in the movie. While the choreography looks pretty impressive thus far, we can't deny that this version of Taskmaster seems to be based on the Blue Ranger from Power Rangers but worse.

Another fan brings up how the MCU has done a pretty solid job of updating how their heroes and villains look in the movies, while also paying tribute to their comic book counterparts. So, why couldn't they do the same thing for Taskmaster? We're not sure but it's a disappointing look, that's for sure.

Someone also brings up how Taskmaster looks like those people who are trying way too hard to turn paintball games into Rainbow Six. Ugh. Those guys are the worst.

While we probably won't get a costume change, at least not anytime soon, the movie itself looks pretty promising. Mixing the espionage from Winter Soldier with the usual mix of Marvel humor should make for a fun film.

Black Widow comes out on May 1, 2020.
