Black Widow: 5 burning questions fans need answers to
By Mark Lynch
2. Will Alexei fight Captain America?
Alexei spent time in prison talking about his time as a Russian superhero. While there, he talked about a fight he had with Captain America. Another prisoner called him out because while Steve Rogers was thawed out, Alexei was in prison.
Alexei wants his glorious fight with Captain America. He wanted it to be with Steve Rogers, but Endgame has now made that impossible. So could we see him square off with Sam Wilson? Alexei can underestimate Sam if he wants, but that will end with Sam Wilson standing over him victorious. If it does happen, though, the best part of this fight will undoubtedly be the banter between the two, especially if Bucky gets involved.
And what about Bucky? Alexei may have worked with Bucky during his Winter Soldier days. Or maybe he helped put him in jail. If either of these are the case, the two will fight.
1. What is Taskmaster’s next move?
Taskmaster didn’t have the personality that the character does in the comics. In Black Widow, she was silent, dark, and dangerous – all of which added to the tone of the movie. With her survival – and the fact that she now has control of her life – what will she do next and where will we see her?
Taskmaster could be another character that ends up working with Valentina. The Contessa looks like the kind of person who preys on the weakness of others. With Taskmaster being new to the world, it may be easy to manipulate her with promises of a purpose in life.
Hopefully, she’ll reappear in a future Deadpool project and bring their storied comic book rivalry to the MCU.
