The cast announcement of Avengers Doomsday has taken the entire Hollywood by storm. While we rejoice at the return of some of the most missed and beloved characters from all across the various Marvel franchises, a concern has arisen that needs to be addressed. With the announcement, fans think that a massive element of the Thunderbolts movie has been spoiled. Some of you might be aware of what I’m referencing, and from my perspective, Thunderbolts has not been spoiled in any way or form. If you’re wondering why I say so, stick around for a while and find out.
Was There a Thunderbolts Spoiler In Avengers: Doomsday Cast Announcement?
We are all aware that on March 26, Marvel Studios announced a segment of Avengers: Doomsday’s cast with a livestream. Among the characters, that were revealed to be in the upcoming Avengers movie, we get to see the names of actors appearing in Thunderbolts. However, among those named, one was missing. Olga Kurylenko, who plays Taskmaster in Thunderbolts, was nowhere to be seen among the named. This made fans believe that Taskmaster is going to die in Thunderbolts, which is definitely a massive spoiler for the upcoming movie.
Is Taskmaster Going to Die in Thunderbolts?
The answer to that question is a little complicated. So, to bring you guys an answer, let’s divert our attention towards some other aspects that could come into play in Avengers: Doomsday. Now, we all know that Tom Hiddleston is returning as Loki in Avengers: Doomsday, but have you given thought to how he is going to show up? It’s not like he’s going to Adam Warlock his way into the battlefield (IFYKYK), and I have a theory on how he will make his way back to the screen as Loki.
First, let’s talk about the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps movie, which will likely set up the events for Avengers: Doomsday. It has been solidified previously that this movie is not set in the 616 continuity and will take place in an alternate timeline. The theory is that the Fantastic Four might not be able to defend their world against Galactus.
On the other hand, Loki, now that he can control timelines, is already aware of the destruction Doctor Doom is about to bring and is picking heroes from the multiverse to fend against him. Loki will save the Fantastic Four and bring them to Battleworld, which also explains how the original X-Men will make their way on our screens after such a long time.
Now, the reason I don’t think the cast of Avengers: Doomsday spoiled Thunderbolts is that there is a possibility that Taskmaster, for some reason, which might be revealed in Thunderbolts, didn’t get called upon to fight against Doctor Doom because in all honesty, I don’t think Marvel, under any circumstances will spoil a movie that has not even been released yet.
Moreover, Marvel has itself said that there are more characters which will appear in Doomsday and it might announce them soon. Taskmaster could be included in that list, for all we believe.
So, to answer the question, chances of Taskmaster dying in Thunderbolts are there, but I think they are pretty low. However, let me remind you that this is just a speculation based on a theory, so we will have to wait till Thunderbolts releases to find out what will happen. So, stay tuned with us while we wait to find out what will ultimately happen!
