When the Black Widow trailer came out, there were mixed feeling about the appearance of Taskmaster, given that he looks like Lord Zedd from The Power Rangers. What's interesting is, Hasbro's Marvel Legends line has given us a better look at Taskmaster complete with his hood and gear.
Check it out:
What's cool is, the figure also comes with an extra set of "claw" hands, so I have a feeling that he's also going to be fighting the way Black Panther does. Seeing as his skill is being able to imitate various fighting styles, I would love to see how he pulls that off in the movie.
This could just be nitpicking on my part, but I kind of wish we had a look that didn't just resemble a motorcycle suit. Seeing that he's a master combatant, I would have loved to see him in more practical gear; then again, I could just be eating my words once we see this guy in action in the movie.
With the actor behind Taskmaster still not revealed, a lot of people are speculating that he's actually Rachel Weisz's character Melina in disguise. Otherwise, why would the actor reveal be kept such a big secret? Then again, maybe Taskmaster could just be some mysterious villain that could be saved for a later time. I know people want to see him go against Spider-Man or Daredevil… or maybe even Deadpool.
