10 Recent Movie Deaths That Pissed Everyone Off
10. Taskmaster - Thunderbolts*
Even though the marketing for Thunderbolts* presented Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) as a core member of the anti-hero supergroup, her rather limited presence in trailers nevertheless had some fans convinced that she'd be the first of the heroes to bite the bullet.
And yet, who among us expected her to die that early?
As it turns out, Taskmaster appears in Thunderbolts* for just a single scene, as she and the other Thunderbolts-to-be meet up at the O.X.E. facility and do battle with one another.
In the ensuing fight, Taskmaster is summarily shot in the head and killed by Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), and that's that.
Her screen time ends up totalling less than two minutes, and considering that many Marvel fans hoped that Thunderbolts* would add depth and dimension to a character who had a rather underwhelming introduction in Black Widow, hastily going out like a jobber only compounded how much of a letdown this iteration of the character was.
Taskmaster deserved so much better than this.
