Taskmaster's MCU Fate: Actress Responds to Fan Outcry
3 Feb
Summary
- Taskmaster's quick demise in Thunderbolts* surprised fans.
- The script was revised post-writers strike, altering her fate.
- Actress Olga Kurylenko acknowledges fan demands for justice.
Taskmaster's abrupt death early in Thunderbolts* has sparked a fan movement demanding justice for the character. Actress Olga Kurylenko has responded to these concerns, acknowledging the fan base's disappointment.
Originally, Taskmaster, also known as Antonia Dreykov, was planned to survive until the film's conclusion. However, script changes implemented after the 2023 writers strike led to her quick elimination from the narrative. This alteration means her MCU journey has concluded, barring any unforeseen resurrections.
Kurylenko expressed gratitude for the fan support and noted her communication with individuals advocating for Taskmaster's cause. The film's director had previously stated that Taskmaster's removal was not a decision made lightly, highlighting the creative challenges involved.
With Taskmaster gone so early, the opportunity for her to participate in the evolved team, potentially as part of the New Avengers, was lost. This could have included appearances in future major events like Avengers: Doomsday.
