10 Actors In Recent Movies WAY Less Than Expected
2. Olga Kurylenko - Thunderbolts*
Though the marketing for Thunderbolts* billed Olga Kurylenko's Taskmaster as a core member of the anti-hero supergroup, many attentive fans assumed from her minimal presence in trailer group shots that she'd get killed off relatively early on. Say, at the end of the first act.
But as it turns out, Taskmaster perishes just 18 minutes into the movie, being shot in the head by Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) in the heat of battle.
To further rub salt in the wound, Taskmaster only enters the film less than two minutes prior, ensuring Kurylenko's role here is a brutally short cameo she presumably shot in just a few hours.
And considering that almost all of Kurylenko's screen time is spent underneath a mask and performing stunts, one can imagine she was probably on set for even less time than one might initially think.
Accepting that many fans felt Taskmaster was given an underwhelming introduction in Black Widow, this utterly thankless and very final cameo only left fans even more frustrated.
