10 Villains Who Need To Appear In The MCU
6. The Taskmaster
Most Marvel characters tend to have their costumes and identities arrive mostly intact following the transition from page to screen, but The Taskmaster probably won’t get off that lightly if he winds up in the MCU.
Boasting unparalleled weapon mastery and the uncanny ability to mimic any of his opponents’ fighting styles, The Taskmaster is a hardy foe capable of posing a serious threat to The Avengers. But he also looks a lot like Skeletor. Without completely transforming his look, it might be difficult to bring The Taskmaster to the MCU in a way that’s believable, or at least not laughable.
As his name suggests, though, The Taskmaster is a feared and proficient trainer of other villains, something that could easily be incorporated into future movie plots going forward. Maybe The Taskmaster attempts to set up an anti-Avengers Initiative, a team of villains with the desire and the know-how to take down Iron Man and co. Maybe the initiative even gains some public support, considering a lot of peoples' negative opinion towards superheroes following the events of Civil War.
