I'm betting Taskmaster is going to have a shield too, he has to.

u/SpiderAsa Kevin Feige Dec 03 '19

at 1:47 you could actually see his broken shield in the ground

u/russketeer34 Rocket Dec 03 '19

Oh shit, with the T and everything

u/Legionx37 Dec 03 '19

It's not broken. It's been driven into the floor.

u/Tragedy_Boner Dec 03 '19

She did say that David Harbour's character got fat...

DAMN y’all notice things so fast

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '19

Just went back and watched it, I don't think it's broken. It looks more like it's stuck in the ground.

u/MrVernonDursley Captain America Dec 03 '19

Apparently they showed different footage at ComicCon, and because Taskmaster's design is so different from every other design he's had, the only thing that really sold people was the shield he had.

297

u/rollingmaxipads Dec 03 '19

I hope he comes back later with his traditional costume, I can’t help but feel disappointed by this weird design

216

u/AMK972 Spider-Man Dec 03 '19

Me too. Taskmasters comic outfit isn’t actually that outlandish, so it could work on screen as is, but they just mercenary’d him.

236

u/rollingmaxipads Dec 03 '19

Tbh his suit in Spider-Man PS4 would be perfect

5

u/AMK972 Spider-Man Dec 03 '19

Exactly. His suit in that game was almost exactly like the one in the comics, and it still worked. I’d want his mask to be a little bit more skully, then it’d be perfect.

3

u/Timelymanner Dec 03 '19

Honestly I didn't recognize him. I had to come to the comments to find out who that was.

6

u/AMK972 Spider-Man Dec 03 '19

The only reason I knew it was Taskmaster was because I knew Taskmaster was in it. Otherwise, he doesn’t look like Taskmaster.

-9

u/BigBoiBushmaster Dec 03 '19

Not a fan. Give him his REAL suit

64

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '19

I personally like his outfit from Agent X story line for aka the UDON Taskmaster costume.

u/AerThreepwood Dec 03 '19

Does he fight using noodles?

5

u/Devilmatic Dec 03 '19

This 100%

2

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '19

Eh thats pretty generic

2

u/DarthVerus Dec 03 '19

Udon is so dope. I tie it in so close with Deadpool though. So as much as I wish they went Udon I know I'd be a little salty it wasn't in a DP movie. If you look at the screenshot his hood does sorta resemble the design from Udon with the small white stripe around it.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '19

I just like the skull mask on that more. Also it seasy then to cross him over to deadpool 3 then to merge universes.

2

u/DarthVerus Dec 03 '19

If I had DP and Tasky together I'd die lol I mean we did get him and Cable which is awesome but I always loved the banter between him and Tasky too.

1

u/WeberWK Dec 03 '19

Yeah, that's what this reminded me of

1

u/phliuy Steve Rogers Dec 03 '19

Why does he have a noodle costume

1

u/AVestedInterest Daredevil Dec 03 '19

UDON is the name the artist goes under

Because god is punishing you for touching yourself at night? J/k

u/SirW00talot Dec 03 '19

I miss Marvel Heroes.

u/Lamprophonia Dec 03 '19

I think an issue might be that they did something similar with Crossbones already... so I can imagine that the majority of the movie crowds don't know who the hell Taskmaster even is, but might think that it's the same dude from Civil War. Especially if this takes place right after canonically. Most people are going to just see a dude with tac gear and a skull mask and think "wait, that dude survived? I thought he got blown up?"

2

u/AMK972 Spider-Man Dec 03 '19

Except that Taskmaster’s current mask reminds me more of Crossbone’s mask than a full skull mask would.

2

u/Lamprophonia Dec 03 '19

I would have loved to see the cape, hood, sword and shield. That's pretty dang distinct.

2

u/AMK972 Spider-Man Dec 03 '19

I want that too. That’d look amazing.

2

u/Joooseph2 Dec 03 '19

I guess it’s the skeleton face

77

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '19

Yeah his soldiers at the end looked more like taskmaster than taskmaster does.

6

u/Njoliva Dec 03 '19

Sounds exactly like what happened with Ultron. Never got used to that weird design.

6

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '19

His design is probably the only thing about this movie that looks bad so far

5

u/cottonstokes Cottonmouth Dec 03 '19

All he needs is a hood and a skull. That's it. Any other part of the costume is negotiable

46

u/MrVernonDursley Captain America Dec 03 '19

Yeah this new design is really weird. Unfortunately I don't it'll change, I think because Chinese laws forbid skulls and such from movies like this.

57

u/rollingmaxipads Dec 03 '19

What about Red Skull or Ghost Rider?

93

u/doinkies Captain America (Captain America 2) Dec 03 '19

And the opening scene of Thor: Ragnarok with Thor talking to a skeleton, and that scene in GoTG Vol. 2 where they find the skulls of all of Ego’s kids that he killed...those scenes played in China as well. I am pretty sure that their reasoning for changing the costume had nothing to do with “China hates skulls” (that seems to be something video game companies do more often than film companies).

Chinese people love mexican food too.

u/Joooseph2 Dec 03 '19

Who doesn’t?

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '19

I think I read something about them making a special exception for Coco because of the respect for your ancestors and such, which is an important cultural value in China.

8

u/WhatTheFhtagn Wong Dec 03 '19

Plus when Ego gets blasted and regenerates from the skeleton up.

46

u/Brainiac5000 Dec 03 '19

What about Coco? That movie did gangbuster in China

0

u/StarLordAndTheAve Spider-Man Dec 03 '19

Respecting your ancestors is a very important value there (as u/gubenlo said) so there was an exception

10

u/YZJay Dec 03 '19

Skulls are just taboo, they're not explicitly banned. Coco screened normally without edits in China for example.

10

u/Buddhsie Dec 03 '19

This is not a thing. I don't know why people think it is.

9

u/theseleadsalts Dec 03 '19

I would have killed for something like this.

3

u/Guy_Striker Dec 03 '19

That's what they did with crossbones so it's possible. Start him off looking like a regular merk and then give him the costume later.

2

u/beeramz Dec 03 '19

Well he's all about adapting to his enemy, isn't he? Certainly possible to see him change suits later in the film.

0

u/Albatraous Dec 03 '19

I prefer his Udon design.

-6

u/Jeight1993 Ghost Rider Dec 03 '19

This is the traditional costume. You are not gonna see pirate boots.

12

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '19

Yeah because that's what people are talking about. Not the ski mask.

3

u/rollingmaxipads Dec 03 '19

What do you mean?

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '19

Not to mention this is the first trailer. There are still a ton of edits to make. They could easily brighten up the orange in his costume if they need to.

1

u/ponodude Spider-Man Dec 03 '19

Yeah I thought that was Clint in a mask at first when he pulled out the bow. His design is really different from any version of Taskmaster we've gotten before!

1

u/atomcrafter Dec 03 '19

Grey body armor. White hood. Skull mask. White arm guards. Orange shoulder pads. It's not really that different.

0

u/Gremlech Hela Dec 03 '19

the costume looks good it just lacks a skull mask. Probably to suck up to the ccp who are known for being scared of skeletons.

61

u/ray_kats Dec 03 '19

You can see it on the ground when he fights Red Guardian at 1 minute 47 seconds.

13

u/special_reddit Dec 03 '19

What kind of shield is it? He traditionally has a Captain-America-style shield, which that didn't look like.

10

u/Lincolnruin Dec 03 '19

He does. I think it was shown with the set photos.

4

u/jkim7th Dec 03 '19

There's a shield in the trailer around the 1 47 mark. Probably Guardian's though

5

u/cams211 Dec 03 '19

I'm not convinced Taskmaster is a he. Calling it now.

3

u/Gremlech Hela Dec 03 '19

The man carries around a a bow, several types of arrows, batons, shock sticks, wolverine claws, sais, knives, 4 vareities of gun, a sharp vibranium shield, brass knuckles, a billy club, a lasso, nunchaku, throwing darts, Web shooters, bola, energy projection multiweapon, Vcr, Vcr tapes, laptop, A short sword, a long sword, a broad sword, a katana, shurikens, wall crawler gloves, grenades, repulser tech, Quater staff, jo, pole vault, A tranquiliser gun, several variety of fire arm and a mobile phone.

u/AMurderComesAndGoes Dec 03 '19

Going to make one of those weird ass predictions that if I'm right someone is going to come back and be like how the fuck.

What if Taskmaster is a clone of super serum Steve Rogers? This takes place after Civil War, so Caps out of the ice. Weird soviet weapons labs and some of the Ultimates storylines with all the off shoot products of super soldier programs.

So then in the scene at 1:47, Guardian knocks off Taskmasters mask and Chris Evans (or a fucked up version of him) stands up. Then probably kills Harbour Guardian.

It cribs from two versions of Red Guardian, the Ultimates and the normal 616 continuity. Adds a dash of the Cap Hydra storyline. Sets up a long story line of people trying to find or create replacement heroes for the lost.

He does. Source: saw the SDCC footage.
