Marvel is no stranger to misleading trailers, and it would be wildly out of character for them to spoil a major plot point like a character’s death so blatantly. If anything, the absence of Taskmaster in the marketing might hint at a bigger role in Thunderbolts* than people expect.

As the film’s release date grows closer, Marvel seems less inclined to hide a major spoiler in Thunderbolts*, with more evidence being piled on.

The new Thunderbolts * trailer has been released, and it's left fans convinced about a Marvel fan theory. Given Taskmaster's very limited screen time in both the early trailers and the latest clip shown during the Super Bowl, viewers are very worried about her character.

But timed to the recent Super Bowl trailer came a tweet from Marvel Studios Japan featuring an international Thunderbolts* poster which seems to give away the meaning of the asterisk: “*The Avengers are not available” it reads.

Not to be confused with The Noid, who ruins pizzas, The Void is a serious threat facing the characters in Marvel's Thunderbolts.
