Olga Kurilenko's Taskmaster appeared for the first time in the "Black Widow" in 2021 And her return to Thunderbolt was a big part of marketing early on. However, as everyone who has seen the film now knows, she didn't make it long. In the first act, Jelena Belova, Johnon Walker, the Spirit and Taskmaster were sent from Val in an underground laboratory. Unknown to any of them, they all need to kill each other in an attempt to tie the loose ends. Before everyone realizes this, the spirit shoots Taskmaster in the head.

There were no false outbursts. There was no return. Taskmaster was definitely killed. Especially because everything in that room was later set on fire in Ash. Director Akeejk Schreer talked to people in Gamesradar For the decision, explaining why they did what they did. Here's what he had to say about it:

"Obviously, it's a big decision. We felt like a movie like this needed something like this, where you are like, okay, if they do it, they could do something," you know, and you really don't know exactly where something will go. It takes a little shock or surprise. ”

That reasoning makes sense. That death clarifies the film is ready to go to surprising places early. However, no other biggest character bites the dust and none of it explains why he had to be Taskmaster, specifically. But he had to be someone.

Marvel, despite his best efforts, did not do the biggest job of hiding death. Trailer for "Thunderbolts" is barely characterized by a Taskmaster, leading many to assume that it will die. It proved to be true. So, it may not have been all that surprisingly for the overwhelming faithful MCU, but probably carrying some weight for the average Movieegoer. However, speculation was something that was difficult to ignore at some point, although Freer and the team tried their best.

"Definitely, when we did it, we ignored it all. I didn't read anything," Schreer said. "I mean, I've read since then, and that's how, yes, there has been a long lead to get out of these films there, and people will definitely have their theories in marketing, that's such a part of it."

The big spoiler for those who pay attention to these things came when Marvel gave a large scattered announcement revealing the cast of "Avengers: Doomsday". Almost every member of the Core Cast from Thunderbolts returns, except for Kurilenko. That added even more fuel to the speculation fire. Speaking about it, Schreer revealed that he had received some tips from Trogon Watts, who directed Tom Holland's "Spiderman" trilogy.

"Something that my friend Jonon Watts told me, who has spent this, and I think that maybe it was something Kevin (fog) told him, when you sit in the theater and the lights descend, all those things leave, and you really want to try not to worry too much about what people will wear and make the movie."

For what is worth, This movie is greeted with some of the most positive views for each MCU movie In recent memory, he may have only opposed the "Gardadians of Galaxy Tom 3.". So, it seems that the movie itself is driving that people enjoy, even if this death was not a huge surprise for certain members of the audience.

Thunderbolts is now in cinemas.
