Confirmed as a side-mission villain a few months back, Taskmaster - Marvel's most adaptable villain - will challenge the wall-crawler in the game by forcing them to disarm bombs.
Little is known about Insomniac's version of the character bar that, but it'll be interesting to see whether or not players will get the chance to go toe-to-toe with the villain.
He's a notorious combatant, and as with Deathstroke in Arkham Knight, one would hope he isn't wasted filling an unremarkable role. Important to note as well is that the character has always been an Avengers villain first and foremost, so if further allusions to that particular team abound, there could be a chance of some significant cameos further down the line.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
