Will Marvel’s Thunderbolts Revamp Taskmaster After Black Widow Criticisms?
The initial trailer for Marvel’s upcoming movie, “Thunderbolts,” was released this week, providing fans with an initial glimpse of the team and the updated costumes that certain characters will be wearing. One notable character receiving a significant upgrade in the new MCU film is Olga Kurylenko’s Antonia Dreykov, better known as Taskmaster, who last appeared in the MCU during the “Black Widow” movie. Although Marvel Studios generally excels at adapting Marvel Comics characters, there was some vocal criticism following the introduction of the MCU version of Taskmaster in 2021. With Kurylenko’s character now being heavily promoted for “Thunderbolts,” it seems that Marvel may be altering their portrayal of Taskmaster.
