Fans who wished to see Tony Masters in Thunderbolts are upset over the return of the MCU rendition of Taskmaster played by Olga Kurylenko.

Or is the Marvel character set to lead another narrative blunder? Would the world witness a possible redemption arc for Antonia Dreykov’s villain? Besides the barrage of the opinionated few, fans are also confused over the inclusion of Bucky Barne’s Winter Soldier into the anti-hero/villain mix. A few believe that the character’s return will be “complete garbage” and have voiced strong denunciation. Unfortunately, following the D23 Expo announcement and Disney’s press release, the bitter reality of the situation has washed over many fans. Many believed that the deviation of the villain/anti-hero from the source material was the biggest blunder Marvel Studios could ever make.

Sebastian Stan will be joined by David Harbour, Florence Pugh, Wyatt Russell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Marvel Studios' antihero movie 'Thunderbolts'.

Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe were treated to some exciting news at Disney's D23 2022 event, as one of the projects we finally received more ...

In the MCU, Zemo (Daniel Brühl) is a very different character from his comics counterpart, a notorious super-criminal who dreams up a team of false superheroes in order to gain and exploit the trust of the public. Nonetheless, Zemo's appearances in MCU projects like "Captain America: Civil War" and "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" have made him a fan-favorite villain. Subsequent versions of the Thunderbolts — later positioned more as a black-ops team — have included major bad guys like Venom, Bullseye, and Crossbones.

The Thunderbolts cast had a great time on stage at D23 Expo yesterday, revealing the team line-up and cast to the fans from the stage.

I also like that this will be the film that really and truly ties the film and tv parts of the MCU together in ways we haven't seen yet. This should be one of the exciting upcoming MCU films though, as these characters have been some of the most popular in this new phase of the MCU. Since it will be a while before we see any Avengers, we will get the Bolts.

And I don't want to say the 'F' word, but I am really psyched about that," the Stranger Things alumnus told "I love the character, there's so many things you could do with him. David Harbour's Red Guardian will soon return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Thunderbolts, an upcoming team-up flick that'll put some of the MCU's most recognizable villains and anti-heroes together on the same team.

Taskmaster is making a return in Marvel's Thunderbolts movie, giving the MCU a chance to finally fix its biggest Black Widow villain mistake.

Antonia Dreykov will be a member of the Thunderbolts in the upcoming film, and since she has the least development of any character on the team, Marvel can finally fix her. However, Taskmaster is freed from Dreykov's control at the end of Black Widow, and now that she's with the other Widows, Thunderbolts has the perfect chance to fix Black Widow's version of Taskmaster. Although Taskmaster is a fan-favorite villain, Black Widow made some major changes to the character that removed many of Taskmaster's most popular traits, causing some viewers to be disappointed with the film's adaptation of the villain.
