Olga Kurylenko is Taskmaster

[psylockolussus]

Maybe she'd finally have her lines. I don't remember her speaking in Black Widow.

I'm glad we're getting more Taskmaster. Everyone always says how they don't need more of the character or want her replaced with another character becoming Taskmaster, but honestly she's such a blank slate that they could do just about anything with her now. It makes total sense for her to be a very different character when we see her again since she literally didn't have any control last time. It'd be a bit as if we'd only seen Hawkeye when he was under Loki's control and people weren't willing to see anything more from Renner as Clint as a result. It would be a huge waste of Olga Kurylenko to not let her play a version of the character with an actual personality.

I’ve seen a few online suggest that as a result of her not having that much proper social skills or interaction with people as a result of her being mind controlled by her father, now that she’s free, she can go completely in the opposite direction and become not too dissimilar from her comic counterpart, who is very banter-y and snarky.

It would be very interesting if, in contrast to her last appearance, she ends up being the most talkative and outspoken of the group.

I agree. Given the amount of in universe time that will pass between Black Widow and Thunderbolts, we're looking at 10+ years (assuming she wasn't blipped). That's plenty of time for her character to essentially get reinvented.

No way they say she gets blipped. Not only because she could use 10+ years of character development since the first movie. Also because Olga was around twice the age of the character she played lol.

At least we don't have to keep trying to pretend she's supposed to be in her early 20's. Taskmaster will be in her early 30's by the next movie which is more reasonable.

That's true, I forgot about that lol.

Will Taskmaster's face be repaired now or will she still be scarred?

 

[BoredGuy]

The other question, Is Kurlyenko any good with comedic roles though?
Not saying she doesn't deserve another shot at the character, but can she do sarcastic and irreverent like the character should be?

I haven't seen her in a lot of roles.

But I don't want them to give her quips like most MCU characters.

But that's Taskmaster's character
I'd picture the character more sardonic than most MCU characters though
She should have a dark sense of humor and take enjoyment out of the violence

I know Taskmaster was like that in the comics and videogames.

But this Taskmaster is already drastic from the comics. From a silent robot to sarcastic quippy character is just so mcu that I don't want to see it.

 

[BoredGuy]

Idk, I'd prefer that to her being a Silent Robot again

 

[Albright]

I hope they give her more that skeletor-look with a hood and the mask looking more like a skull

How Frank Grillo’s Crossbones Restricted Black Widow's Movie Villain Design

Geez…Crossbones was 5min in the movie. Who remembers his mask? Even I can’t

 

[TheVileOne]

Did Crossbones even have a skull motif for his suit?

Also they literally kept the skull motif for Taskmaster, so I'm significantly confused by all this.
