Very interested in this movie. Its kinda weird that we already know her ending arc. Curious how it adds to the entire MCU.

I don't think it'll really add anything. It seems more like it's just going to show us how much Natasha changed and how much the Avengers changed her. More about exploring her character than setting anything up.

It's the Udon Taskmaster design guys

Eh, it's closer to Udon Taskmaster, but the helmet is still a major sticking point. Udon Taskmaster's helmet is still clearly evoking a skull, which this design doesn't really do. The red eyes are a major sticking point, too. The Udon outfit is also clearly some armour strapped over a fabric suit, whereas this seems to be quite a bit more armoured.

This looks more like a "real world" re-imagining of his classic costume by way of Jango Fett than a translation of the Udon costume.

"There's a method to the madness," Feige told io9 while promoting Spider-Man: Far From Home. "There's always a method and doing things in an unexpected way is something we find fun. There are ways to do prequels that are less informative or answer questions you didn't necessarily have, and then there are ways to do prequels where you learn all sorts of things you never knew before."

Grant Ward in the movies at long last

I mean, it could do both. Going off Feige's coyness in the recent interview he gave, seems obvious even.

eh, I really don't think they'd make this after Endgame, and as the first movie of Phase 4 or whatever they call it, if it didn't advance continuity forward in some significant way.

Aww, I wanted him to show up in a Spider-Man movie. Also, if this is a prequel, I wonder if he'll be doing Cap's shield moves.

That's a disappointing Taskmaster if it is really him. RIP.
Shit, I would love an actual Taskmaster movie.

Similar to Crossbones, they have no problem modernizing the character designs. They clearly were not gonna go with a guy in medieval boots and tights with a skull mask. We've already seen them step away from sticking too close to a comic design.

Welp, she's going to die in her first solo film. I don't see her beating Taskmaster AT ALL. I can only hope they end the movie with Campbell yelling at Black Widow for causing a Time Paradox.

I'm thinking Natasha won't be revived but rather this is how they will introduce Yelena as the new Black Widow going forward.

Oh yeah. There's no way we were ever getting pirate boots, Skeletor Taskmaster. I'm just saying that it looks to be more a modernization of the Classic costume than the Udon costume.

I really wish they'd went for more of an obvious skull on that helmet, though. I'm really hoping it's a henchman costume or an intermediary step on his way to his "real" costume.

Like, he wears this through the course of the movie, picks up some moves from Widow and footage of Cap or whatever, and then decides he needs to "go bigger" in response to the heroes and takes on the skull motif for branding purposes.

That's the thing the rest of the ensemble is mostly irrelevant but he needs a proper skull mask. Homeboy is looking like Prometheus' third cousin in these shots.

If it's Taskmaster, the "Avengers PS4 has no relation to the MCU" people need to sit their asses down.

Also that's a Power Rangers villain

when was the last time an on-set costume wasn't heavily touched-up in post? homecoming? if it really is tasky, it could be a protoype suit or they change it via cg. my guess? its just an enemy soldier.

They reshape Spidey's head to make it more uniformly oval shaped like how he's drawn in the books, and they do erase little wrinkles in the fabric and stuff like that.

I really don't get him being so armoured up. Taskmaster's whole thing is his mobility. He needs freedom of movement to replicate the movements of others.

"I can do a kick like Daredevil, but if Daredevil were wearing fifty pounds of body armour" is a weird way to go.

This movie takes place in the past right? I really hope that's not Tasky then, I'd like him to be in the current movies. :<
