In this genre entertainment game, a site’s fortune may depend on a mere scrap of information. Since those leaked Black Widow set photos from a few weeks ago, everyone has been speculating on whether the dufus in the Power Ranger outfit was some jacked-up Taskmaster.
Hell, I still can’t tell. Taskmaster’s suit is kind of blue. But it’s definitely him.
Here is a scrap of information to prove it:
Check out this 1st reveal of the keyframe illustration I did for the Black Widow film… & TASKMASTER!!! #blackwidow #taskmaster @MarvelStudios #scarlettjohansson pic.twitter.com/c4504e6BEu

In case you are wondering, Andy Park is the head of Marvel Studios concept art so his illustrations pretty much turn up in the movies exactly as you see them.
A “keyframe illustration” is defined as portraying an important storytelling element from the production, so you can guarantee that just like in the description of the Comic-Con footage, Black Widow is going to fight Taskmaster on a bridge at some point.
Here is a better version of the image if you don’t want to click over to Twitter:
I have to say that this Taskmaster costume, which is more or less like the version in a recent Spider-Man video game, give me more confidence in the Black Widow movie.
I just hope it’s not some dumb plot about Russians doing bad things to our “democratic institutions” that don’t reflect our “shared values” and “who we are as a people” or whatever.
We get enough dumb hoaxes in real life, we don’t need them in the MCU.
Black Widow won’t need any phantom Fandango tickets when it premieres on May 1, 2020.
