Black Widow is one of Marvel's most anticipated superhero movies of 2020. It's new trailer recently revealed the antagonist Taskmaster and left a lot of hidden details. Let's have a little 'brainstorm' before enjoying the movie when it hits the cinema on May 1, 2020.
1. The red room is where the crime begins?The villain Taskmaster was there in the Red Room, where the old Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) was born. This is a Soviet program to turn Black Widow into a monster and has affected many other assassins like her, people who later became emotionless killing machines. The taskmaster's presence in the red room has many implications, maybe he is the mastermind of this crime program, or this is just the context of a certain task.
2. Taskmaster is the most ardent villainBlack Widow is very likely to occur after Civil War because Taskmaster was able to copy all the skills of the Avengers. From the hand of the Black Panther king, Hawkeye's way of holding the bow to Spider Man's aerial acrobatics. Taskmaster must have gone to a cafe with Iron Man to learn these skill. In the trailer, the character watched a video of Iron Man 2 about Avengers's skills. The most dangerous ability of Taskmaster is that he can copy every opponent's movement, so he is considered as the most dangerous Marvel villain.
3. Is this just another version of Black Widow?It's reasonable to assume that the movie is set after Civil War, but during the Civil War, the technology were quite rudimentary. In contrast, the Black Widow trailer showed off a lot of trendy modern weapons like in Avengers: Endgame. If the movie is actually set after Endgame, what can explain the revival of Black Widow? Most likely the red room cloned Black Widow and the version we are seeing is just her twin sister?
4. Is the masked Taskmaster actually Iron Man?Taskmaster is considered the mascot of Black Widow. The villain always wear a mask so the audience has the right to suspect who he is. When the movie was about to release, there were many rumors saying Robert Downey Jr. will be back in Black Widow. If this happens, he is most likely Taskmaster. Because, in the original comics, Taskmaster is someone who has the ability to copy but often forgets other things, such as forgetting his lover, which is said to be very similar to Tony Stark. However, if Iron Man is resurrected, the Marvel movie will become silly. After his emotional death in Endgame, the audience really wants the character to rest.
It is possible that the person behind the mask is the brother of Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) in the red room, implying that only the Avengers are her true family. Fans also have another crazy idea, that at the end of the battle when the mask is taken off, the one behind the iron plate would be Natasha herself, another version of her.
5. Is this the last appearance of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow in the MCU?In the trailer, two Black Widow characters work together to lead the army to fight Taskmaster. Perhaps the movie would be more interesting if there are more solo scenes than team fight scenes. However, this may also be because Marvel is trying to introduce a new Black Widow. So Yelena Belova is most likely the last boss of the Black Widow?
Black Widow is scheduled to hit theaters on May 1, 2020. The film stars Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, David Harbor, O.T. Fagbenle, William Hurt, Ray Winstone and Rachel Weisz.
