新番剧雷霆特工队预告片中没有出现任务大师引发争议

A new Thunderbolts teaser has ignited speculation about Taskmaster's fate after viewers noticed the character's apparent removal from a pivotal sequence.

The original September 2024 Thunderbolts trailer clearly showed Taskmaster positioned between Ghost and U.S. Agent in the Watchtower scene.

However, the newly released teaser presents the same setting with Taskmaster conspicuously absent.

This development, coupled with the fact that actress Olga Kurylenko wasn't included in the Avengers: Doomsday cast announcement while other Thunderbolts members were confirmed, has led some Marvel fans to speculate that Taskmaster might not survive the film.

Why would Marvel include Taskmaster in the initial trailer only to remove them from this teaser? Theories range from intentional misdirection to last-minute creative changes regarding Avengers: Doomsday's storyline.

Observant fans note minor positioning differences between characters in both versions of the scene besides Taskmaster's disappearance. Could this suggest the powerful Sentry eliminated Taskmaster? Some speculate Sentry might have erased Taskmaster from reality (similar to his demonstrated abilities in other footage) with the team unaware, or that Taskmaster may have switched allegiances.

"Marvel pretty much just sealed this character's fate in the movie," commented Reddit user Matapple13. "Yesterday's cast announcement for Avengers: Doomsday included all Thunderbolts except Kurylenko, and now they've literally removed Taskmaster from promotional material..."

"The overwhelming theories about her death, combined with Marvel minimizing her presence, make me think there might be a surprise twist where she survives," added puckallday.

We do know the Sentry possesses extraordinary power - emphasized in the teaser's opening with Valentina Allegra de Fontaine declaring he's "stronger than all the Avengers combined." Disposing of Taskmaster could theoretically require merely a thought from such a being.

This development comes during a significant week for MCU news. Our analysis explores whether the Avengers: Doomsday cast announcement might have inadvertently revealed Thunderbolts spoilers.

Marvel and Robert Downey Jr. have hinted that more Avengers: Doomsday cast reveals are coming, leaving a glimmer of hope for Taskmaster fans.

Answers will come sooner than later. Thunderbolts* arrives May 2025, followed by Ironheart in June. Phase 6 commences with The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July. Avengers: Doomsday premieres May 1, 2026, with Secret Wars following in May 2027.
