Black Widow is fast approaching and that means we're finally getting to see some merchandise from Marvel Studios' first Phase 5 movie. Now, Funko has unveiled its range of Pop figures for this spinoff and these look set to be a must-have for fans of the character.

Interestingly, there are going to be three different versions of Taskmaster (Disney may be anticipating toys featuring the villain selling fast but not all fans are on board with the redesigned costume) and one of them seemingly provides some clues about his identity...or at least where he hails from.

These are all really cool and the marketing campaign for Black Widow is clearly beginning to heat up as we get closer to May. While it may be set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, you have to believe it will go some way in setting up the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and that promises to make it a must-watch.

We recently caught sight of those mysterious red vials in the "Special Look" at Black Widow but what are they? Some believe those are Pym Particles (which seems doubtful) but many believe they're connected to the new stingers she will don in this movie.

Paying homage to the comic books, Marvel Studios has given Natasha her white costume and it looks pretty damn badass. Those weapons she's wielding also look pretty formidable and a lot different to what we've seen her use in the past.

Taskmaster's costume has certainly been controversial among fans but he's wielding both his classic sword and shield here and there are definitely some noteworthy nods to the source material in his live-action outfit.

This version of Taskmaster has his trademark hood down and is rocking a bow and arrow and when fans spotted that in the trailer, they weirdly jumped to the conclusion that it was Hawkeye beneath the mask (which literally makes zero sense).

All the signs are pointing to David Harbour's Red Guardian stealing the show in Black Widow and you have to hope that he will be a permanent addition to the MCU rather than a character who makes only a single appearance.

/craftmin/products/46687_MARVEL_BlueBayou_Yelena_POP_GLAM-WEB-6b5208166b4c6e50a480c8fae05afa9a

Yelena Belova is a character with a lot of big screen potential and seeing her become the new Black Widow in this shared world could be a lot of fun moving forward, especially if she winds up joining the Thunderbolts.

Now this is interesting. This version of Taskmaster comes with claws which seem similar in nature to the ones Black Panther uses. Could it be that the villain has based his fighting style on the King of Wakanda or that he is, in fact, Wakandan?

Florence Pugh and her accent can destroy me anytime.

@WakandanQueen - Same.

Tonic24k - 1/17/2020, 11:42 AM

Taskmaster is shaping up to be a very interesting character.

Tensorpants - 1/17/2020, 11:44 AM

@Tonic24k - Nearly a jaw-dropping, awesome, and mind-blowing charachter

Dredd97 - 1/17/2020, 11:48 AM

I wish it was more skull looking, and less Spider-Man 3 New Goblin, but we'll see how this goes. I don't have much hype for this, but it could be good.

parkerray - 1/17/2020, 11:57 AM

@SmokingMan - seriously it looks like Todd the frat boy just got turned away from the ski lift.

Expected more from the MCU for one of their coolest villains.

MCUKnight11 - 1/17/2020, 11:58 AM

Woah, first Phase 5 movie? What happened in Phase 4?

OmegaDaGrodd - 1/17/2020, 12:05 PM

I like that Taskmaster's visual signs of character development are

1. Stealing someone else's stuff
2. Carrying a sword
3. Wearing a hood

OmegaDaGrodd - 1/17/2020, 12:23 PM

Just realized TM has claws in that last pop. Has he been studying Black Panther?

RegularPoochie - 1/17/2020, 6:50 PM

@OmegaDaGrodd - Oh course he has, also he has the Bullseye spot on his mask.

blackandyellow - 1/17/2020, 12:38 PM

Red Guardian doing his best Love Sausage impression.

TheJester187 - 1/17/2020, 1:08 PM

All they had to do was add the dull a lot more in the mask and maybe at the end lighten it up for the final battle! But nope this crap! Smh! Wait til they do ghost rider it’s gonna be a helmet on fire!!

I said this in a prior article. I believe Taskmaster works directly for Secretary Ross and Ross has been keeping tabs on every known Avenger's fighting style since their debut. And Ross gave Taskmaster the archives of each Avenger and how they fought during the airport fight. So Taskmaster will have mastered Hawkeye, Falcon, Captain America, Black Panther, and Black Widow.

This is why Red Guardian is having trouble fighting him because it's like Red Guardian is fighting Captain America. And why Taskmaster has to use various styles against Widow including her own.

And the secret is that Ross wants his own team of heroes for the accords called The Thunderbolts. He already has Abomination. Now he'll have Taskmaster.

@SonOfAGif - I agree with this. He throws his shield like Captain America in the trailer, he has a bow like Hawkeye in that toy, he flips to his feet like Black Widow in the recent sneak-preview, and he appears to have claws like Black Panther in that other-funko pop.

Potentially that could fit into the post-Civil War but pre-Infinity War timeline - i.e. with the Avengers divided and out-of-action, someone has sought to create a new Super Soldier which has the abilities of all the Avengers in one - something along those lines could then serve as a lead-in to the Falcon & Winter Soldier TV Show, particularly where "US Agent" is concerned.

Bokis - 1/18/2020, 9:59 PM

@SonOfAGif - I really hope they do something cool with Abomination. If I recall correctly Agent Sitwell mentioned that they wanted him on the Avengers team in a One Shot. It would be cool if they stopped killing villains and made a Thunderbolts-like team
