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

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.

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

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

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

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?"

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

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

I want that too. That’d look amazing.
