Why isn't Ryback in this movie?
Because Absorbing Man isn't in the MCU yet.
Who will Latveria send? Does Latveria have any superheroes, or are we just getting some dumb mooks?
I imagine it will probably be someone like Lucia Von Bardas accompanied by a bunch of doom bots and mercenaries, or maybe even Kristoff.
Dreadknight and Volcana would be cool to see.
that's the phase 5 avengers > MODOK, Sauron, Klaue and Lucia Von Bardas.
Is there a chance that Killmonger didn't die?
I never watched Black Panther.
>How am I alive?
>VIBRANIUM NANOMACHINES! I DON'T GOTTA EXPLAIN SHIT!
>And you didn't use them for T'Challa?
>He's dead dead. You were only mostly dead.
>I was shanked through the heart by a vibranium spear
>Only MOSTLY dead.
They could do some Wakandan sorcery to implant his soul in a new body.
I wonder if Taskmaster will be given a more feminine costume this time around.
lmao hell yeah the Savage Land. Hope they run into Sauron
or a personality
Isn't she basically moronic now?
No, just disfigured.
Honestly Taskmaster is such a blank slate by the end of Black Widow they could do anything with her.
>She drops the Dreykov name because her dad was her abuser, is now Antonia "Toni" Masters
>Taskmaster and the Widows struggle to reintegrate into society after a life of being brainwashed soldiers. Many of them become mercenaries. We already saw one widow becoming an illegal cage fighter on Macau.
>Taskmaster finds purpose training others in her "academy"
>It is clarified that her photographic reflexes are her own skill, while the helmet's HUD is essentially just mission intel + a targeting system like Fallout's V.A.T.S. Essentially, she can copy other peoples' moves perfectly, the helmet is just an extra aid. Hence why she had to personally watch the fight footage.
>As Dreykov said in BW: "She watches everything and she can do it. She is a perfect mimic".
>After finally being freed from the mindcontrol she starts speaking much more and develops a personality much closer to comics Taskmaster
>Besides her physical disfigurement the main lasting problem from her time as Dreykov's puppet is that while she can perfectly remember peoples' moves, she struggles with some memory loss as a consequence of the explosion and subsequent brainwashing.
yeah I didn't understand all the hate (jk it was misogyny) when they left her so blank at the end. She can totally come back with the personality people expect from Taskmaster
I can see the swerve being a rando is the real Taskmaster while the person on the team is just wearing the HUD and Yelena keeps noting this Taskmaster is slower or less accurate than the one she fought.
>After finally being freed from the mindcontrol she starts speaking much more and develops a personality much closer to comics Taskmaster
A babe like Olga Kurlyenko with the characterization of comics Taskmaster would be waifu of the year
>she changes her last name to Masters because she’s now MASTER of her own destiny
I like that.
>feminine costume
I think you are in the wrong thread this is marvel
Even a burqa would be more feminine than her costume in Black Widow.
Doesn't matter, Suicide Squad is better.
yeah but savage land is better than gorilla city
Why is Taskmaster a woman?
Because that was a last minutes twist in the Black Widow movie.
Even though the whole film it was clearly a dude till that point.
Because the Black Widow team didn't want to use Taskmaster but were forced to, so they just gave his name and powers to a completely different character
>The team is named after Secretary Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, who will die in the MCU due to passing of William Hurt in real life.
Shit I didn't know he was dead.
Would it be in poor taste to make Ross into a permanent CGI Red Hulk with someone else voicing him?
Only if it is done within 5 years. For now, simple tweets from his account advertising the Thunderbolts is fair game.
The cool thing about Ross' actor dying is that we got spared from Red Hulk.
How is that cool?
Do you honestly want Red Hulk?
Not him but yeah I want another Hulk that isn't She-Hulk or Professor Dab. He obviously can't be General Ross but I want a mindless angry Hulk again
Put that way I understand, but I'd rather have proper Hulk instead as unlikely as it's to happen.
Absolutely. Certainly more than I wanted the Hulk being turned into a comedy character.
Yes. Just recast Jim. Geez what's Disney
We'll probably get Songbird and Beetle and maybe Fixer.
's an undercover SHIELD agent but has her Screaming Mimi power set instead of her faux Green Lantern construct power
's a crook with power armor who Songbird busted/fell in love with. Will probably be blacked for the movie. He joins for a presidential pardon for his crimes.
is an evil hipster genius who helped Zemo carry out his plot in Civil War behind the scenes. Will probably namedrop Gamergate, Cinemaphile, Reddit, Dark Web, etc to establish him as an evil nerd incel. Also working to get a presidential pardon.
As for Taskmaster, I would hope that they reveal that there is a former Taskmaster and he had his gimmick stolen from him and we get Olga killed off by him and him getting his costume back to fix the issue of movie Taskmaster being a chick.
>As for Taskmaster, I would hope that they reveal that there is a former Taskmaster and he had his gimmick stolen from him and we get Olga killed off by him and him getting his costume back to fix the issue of movie Taskmaster being a chick.
Jesus, you're obsessed.
Yes but he's correct

There's a whole plot about Fixer making Beetle black and Songbird being uncomfortable about it, to the point of stopping kissing him... she then overcomes her prejudices, but Beetle is white again by then
>Will probably namedrop Gamergate, Cinemaphile, Reddit, Dark Web, etc to establish him as an evil nerd incel. Also working to get a presidential pardon.
I can see this happening. Frick.
I'll watch this for Zemo and US Agent and that's about it.
Though I'm curious if they'll try to use Citizen V at all. It would be fun to see Bruhl ham it up, but I also don't see his Zemo doing such a thing either.
>but I also don't see his Zemo doing such a thing either.
To be fair, nobody expected to see him dancing like that either.
I really liked this announcement because of the savage land and ka-zar. But having the Thunderbolts ia also great
Needs Ghost and Abomination.
Have an after credit scene teasing The Leader.
>Abomination
Not happening after what happens to him in the She-Hulk show.
Replace Abomination with Justin Hammer in the Detroit Steel suit
Better. Justine trying to show off her father's skills and her A.I. is modeled to be like Justin down to making insane boasts that get her killed.
What happens to him?
USAgent is the only new MCU character I actually like and want to see more of, so I'll be tentatively looking forward to this
So basically just Suicide Squad lite, meaning the worst version of the Thunderbolts?
We honestly needed something like the original Thunderbolts team, pretending to be heroes and having the twist of being villains
Just feels so boring
What a lame group of Thunderbolts.
What a shitty lineup
>Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) will definitely appear.
No, she won't. Her stunt double, however, likely will.
