Super Bowl 2020 Trailers: 10 Things We Learned

5. The Taskmaster Will Imitate Captain America In Black Widow

The Big Game Spot for Black Widow gave audiences a more up-close glimpse of the film's mysterious antagonist, The Taskmaster.

We've already seen the character imitating Hawkeye with his use of a bow and arrow, and this teaser now confirms he'll also be borrowing some moves from Captain America (Chris Evans), through his stylishly athletic use of a shield (namely stomping on it in order to catch it).

Comic book fans won't be remotely surprised that Taskmaster is imitating superheroes, because that's kind of his thing, but the fact that he's added some of Cap's attacks to his cachet quite clearly implies that he's encountered or even fought Cap in the past.

We can only hope that a flashback might reveal that Taskmaster was watching Civil War's airport fight and used the recon mission to update his move set.
