Taskmaster Rights Back At Marvel Studios

Taskmaster Rights Back At Marvel Studios

At one point in time, 20th Century Fox possessed the film rights to Taskmaster but it would appear that the supervillain/anti-hero is now back home at Marvel Studios. How long before he shows up in the MCU? Is he a better fit for the Marvel films or Netflix shows?

Don't hold your brief for Ryan Reynolds Deadpool to take on Taskmaster in a sequel.  Reportedly, when Daredevil rights returned to Marvel Studios, the film rights to Taskmaster were part of the package.  It's kind of a shame that Fox had the rights to Taskmaster for as long as they had Daredevil's film rights but never did anything with him.  How long will it be before S.H.I.E.L.D. or A.I.M. (are they still around?) hires Anthony 'Taskmaster' Masters?

Blessed with execptional athlesticism, it's Taskmaster's 'photographic relfexes' that make him a real threat.  This ability allows him to copy the physical abilities of some of the Marvel Universes' most gifted and agile heroes and villains such as Spider-Man, Daredevil, Deadpool, Captain America, etc.

Taskmaster vs. Cap. He'd fit well into Cap's films


OR

He'd be a welcome addition to the Netflix corner of the MCU as well.


He'd fit well in wither one

I didn't even know he was held by Fox. Hopefully he'll show up on a Netflix show.

Hopefully he shows up on AoS. A new character maybe. He's more suited for espionage missions rather than being an unknown street thug.

Or Hydra revived the dead Grant Ward, who has lost his memories as that thing has devoured his memories.

This is who I wanted in civil war!!!! Put him in a bad ass fight scene in daredevil season 2 as a street dude who broke out of prison around the time Cage did,gets beat up, goes to jail. Tony comes n gets him, let's him watch files on everyone, New suit, fights with Tony, then steals all of shields files and dips. Now you have a new bad ass baddie who can show up everywhere!! Then down down the road, he becomes the trainer for shield agents. BAM, tasky in the MCU

I will stand behind him being ONE of moonknights villains. I would like moon knight to have a few villains. Have bushmaster here n there, second season focus on bushmaster, end season with him cutting bushmasters face off. Oh yeah....Omar from the wire for bushmaster. N moon knight should fight like Tony jaa in the protector. Breaking bones left n right
