10 Recent Movie Trailers That LIED
10. Taskmaster's Role - Thunderbolts*
Now to be fair, eagle-eyed Marvel fans were definitely suspicious about the rather subdued role of Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) in the trailers for Thunderbolts*, namely that she wasn't present in any of the group shots alongside her co-stars.
However, the trailers still namedropped Taskmaster as a core member of the group, and so it was assumed by most that she would simply be the first casualty.
But as it turns out, Taskmaster dies just 20 minutes into the film, before the titular group has actually been formed.
During the anti-heroes' initial meeting at the O.X.E. facility, Taskmaster is swiftly shot in the head by Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) following a brief battle, bringing the character's screen time to a grand total of less than two minutes.
Considering that Taskmaster was not only named on-screen in trailers but also featured prominently on all of Thunderbolts*' posters, it's understandable that fans were pretty miffed about this, especially after she got such a short shrift in the Black Widow movie.
