As previously mentioned, Yelena Belova mentions that Taskmaster is now in charge of the Red Room, and has the fledgling ‚Black Widows‘ under his (or her) thumb. Whilst Yelena refers to Taskmaster as a ‚he‘, it is currently unconfirmed that the character actually is a man, rather than a woman. It’s hard to determine the character’s origin from the trailers for Black Widow, as so little has been given away of the character. Taskmaster can be seen mimicking the fighting styles of Black Widow, Black Panther, Captain America and proficiency with a bow and arrow just like Hawkeye, but this does little to inform fans of Taskmaster’s backstory – only his skills.
As Taskmaster is in charge of the Red Room during the events of Black Widow, it’s simple to assume that he is a product of the same program that produced Black Widow and her Russian ‚family‘; Yelena Belova, Melina Vostokoff (Rachel Weisz) and Alexei Shostakov a.k.a. Red Guardian (David Harbour). Russian authorities are notoriously impenetrable even in real life, let alone the Marvel Cinematic Universe; having an outsider infiltrate the KGB’s Red Room seems improbable. It’s likely that Taskmaster, then, is Russian – if only to explain his ability to commandeer the resources of the Red Room deep inside the Kremlin. Equally, Taskmaster could be a Russian posing as a person of another nationality, much like Natasha Romanoff affects an American accent (allowing whichever actor is playing Taskmaster to retain whatever accent they have).
If Taskmaster is in control of the Red Room, and dispatching its new super-spies to eliminate old products of the Russian super-soldier program like Black Widow and Red Guardian, then it’s unlikely that he himself would have an employer other than perhaps the Russian government. That said, with Taskmaster’s motives currently so unclear, it’s hard to ascertain why the copycat mercenary is being deployed in the first place, let alone trying to determine who is responsible for his deployment. One theory points to Taskmaster being a former SHIELD operative, and therefore under the direction of General Ross, who is looking to apprehend Black Widow as a vigilante operating without impunity who has turned her back on the Sokovia Accords. This theory now seems to have holes in it, as a former SHIELD operative being aimed like a gun by General Ross seems to be an unlikely candidate for taking control of another country’s super-soldier training program (ie the Red Room).
Another school of thought suggests that Taskmaster is working for science-terrorists Advanced Idea Mechanics, last seen in Iron Man 3. Their acronym is seen on the wall of the makeshift hospital room Yelena Belova is strapped down in, apparently a hostage of Taskmaster’s. Either Taskmaster is using AIM technology, or he has co-opted the organization in the wake of leader Aldrich Killian’s death in the finale of Iron Man 3, meaning Iron Man is responsible for the creation of yet another villain. AIM may have even hired Taskmaster to obtain for them an assassin from the Red Room, perhaps to brainwash to serve their own nefarious purposes. As Yelena says in the final trailer, the Red Room super-spies can be „manipulated; fully conscious but no choices.“ Taskmaster is either using AIM technology to do this, or doing this for AIM. Potentially, the AIM easter egg could end up being just that, with no further explanation.
