It turned out that we could have had a completely different version of Taskmaster in Marvel Cinematic University, and things went in another way. This is because another actor was tested for this role, and an actor who ended up playing another entire person in “Black Widow”. The actor concerned is OT FAGBENLE, who played the role of shield agent Rick Mason in the movie 2021. But before he longed on the party, he almost had a bad young man in Natasha Romanoff from Scarlett Johansson.

In an interview with him recently with The Direct, FAGBENLE confirmed that he had tested the role of Taskmaster in “Black Widow”. Ultimately, the role went to Olga Corelino (“” quantity of condolences “). Fagbeenle previously confirmed in 2021 that he tested a different character in Marvel Studios, but he refused to determine who was at that time. Now, the curtain is pulled on what happened behind the scenes. This is what he said on this topic:

“I was first tested for Taskmaster, and this was, it was a really incredible speech, in fact. It was a test I was proud of. I am still at the back somewhere. This-I made it in an African accent, and this type of mobs was.”

It took a long time to meet “Black Widow”, with different repetitions of the text program that is placed together throughout the development process. So not only that a different actor played a role. As Fagbeenle tells her, this would have been completely going into the character.

“I got essentially [told] Which – which [the role] I liked, “Am I or another person.” This type of things for this version of Taskmaster. In the various repetitions of the film, this Taskmaster version went away, then they only came to me and they were like, “Hey, there is this character called Mason, do you want to play Mason?

While miles will differ from person to person, the taskmaster version that we obtained is not specially respectful in terms of evil MCU, in the great plan for things. The character is famous for accurately simulating enemies. There is a strong feeling that the version played by Kurylenko was lost, somewhat.

Not entering the spoiler area here, but its last appearance in “Thunderbolts” did not do much to help matters. There is no need to return in time and wonder whether Marvel has taken the correct choice or not. With a diversity towards the future, Fagbeen revealed that he is ready to withdraw the character he created for Taskmaster test at some point in the future, even if Marvel:

“The character I created for this thing was not done before, or something that people did not see me before. I was really prepared. But in any case, there will be another opportunity for me to withdraw this field from the bag and put it on the screen.”

Who knows what the future hides? The MCU’s Multiverse Epic presented a great opportunity to see different versions of the same characters on the screen. If MCU gets a soft restart after “secret wars”, familiar characters may get new rental contracts. Taskmaster may be brought to life again below the line. It does not seem like it is likely to be behind the mask, but the strange things have occurred. The actor concluded that he was ready to return to MCU, most likely like Rick Mason, the more the call comes.
