29 Brand New Characters Coming To MCU Phase 4
24. Taskmaster - Black Widow
Taskmaster is currently one of the most mysterious characters coming to the MCU, and has the potential to be one of the most exciting upcoming villains Phase Four will have to offer. The fact that no trailer has yet shown the character's face has sparked several different rumours about who it could actually be.
Originally some thought it might be Hawkeye, but theories have know evolved to include Yelena, Melina, Rick Mason, or even a clone of Natasha herself.
Potential true identities aside, Taskmaster will bring a new power into the MCU, strangely unique in that their fighting styles are anything but unique. The ability to study and copy the moves of the MCU heroes makes Taskmaster incredibly dangerous, as we have already seen them imitating Cap, Black Panther, Hawkeye, and more.
The introduction of the character, paired with Thaddeus Ross' appearance in Black Widow, could signal the beginning of the Thunderbolts in the MCU, which hopefully means Taskmaster will have a long and successful future in the franchise.
