Black Widow's Taskmaster Tank Was Completely Real & Functional

Taskmaster's tank in Black Widow wasn't created using VFX, but was instead a real, functioning vehicle that could be driven around set. Natasha Romanoff made her return to the big screen in her own prequel story for Black Widow, following her devastating death in Avengers: Endgame. The film's original release was slated for 2020 but was ultimately delayed due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, with Black Widow finally making its way to theatres last summer. This did not come without its challenges, however, as Disney's new dual-release model that saw Black Widow make its way onto the Disney+ streaming service on the same day as its theatrical release caused a stir between star Scarlett Johansson and the studio, coming to blows with a lawsuit that was finally settled in September last year.

Black Widow offered a glimpse into the mysterious past of the skilled Avenger who, in confronting her past, came face to face with General Dreykov (played by Ray Winstone), the leader of an organization that works to turn young girls into assassins known as Black Widows. The film saw Midsommar star Florence Pugh make her MCU debut as Natasha's sister, Yelena Belova, with her story continuing on in Disney+'s newest Marvel series, Hawkeye. Black Widow saw the sisters come up against the popular comic-book villain, Taskmaster, whose unique fighting style enables them to mimic the actions of another simply by observing their movements. The sister's first encounter with the masked figure results in an intense car chase in which Taskmaster tears through the streets of Budapest in a tank.
