Marvel Studios just pulled back the curtain on the Avengers: Doomsday cast, and guess what? It might have spilled the beans on a major Thunderbolts* twist!
The Big Reveal
In a reveal that had fans biting their nails, Marvel showcased a neat row of director’s chairs with the cast’s names embossed proudly on the back. It was a solid mix of familiar faces and a few surprises that left fans gasping.
X-Men sightings? Check. No Spider-Man or Scarlet Witch? Double-check. While the absence of some fan-favorites sparked curiosity, one glaring omission fueled intense fan speculation.
And yep, it’s all about Taskmaster.
Where’s Taskmaster?
Olga Kurylenko’s villain-turned-hero made quite an impression in Black Widow, but her chair was mysteriously missing from today’s reveal. Coincidence? Marvel fans would say otherwise.
The last glimpse of Taskmaster in teasers didn’t exactly scream longevity. The Super Bowl trailer hinted at several key scenes, but she was nowhere to be seen. Could this mean Antonia Dreykov might bite the dust before the movie’s climax?
We’re not saying it’s confirmed, but let’s be honest—Marvel has a knack for dropping these sneaky hints.
Fan Theory: Dead or Misled?
Why would Marvel blatantly leave Taskmaster out? Maybe it’s just an elaborate misdirection to keep fans on their toes. After all, what’s a Marvel movie without a jaw-dropping twist?
But with every other Thunderbolts* member making the cut—even the less-hyped ones—it seems plausible that Taskmaster’s arc might conclude in a shocking turn.
