Black Widow

[hopeless]

Given the presence of Red Guardian and the plot behind Falcon and the Winter Soldier what stopped them revealing Taskmaster was a recipient of the Russian Super Soldier Serum to explain away this?

Freeing the other Widows was certainly set up as being a goal. We can assume that at least some of the Widows would contribute to that.

Spoiler: Spoiler

Yelena at least continues to work as an assassin (we all stayed for the post credits scene right?)

But the message of the movie is "you do you" so presumably some of the Widows did go off to find their own way in the world. Pig farmer. International Super Model. Translator (I assume all of them spoke multiple languages.) Stunt Woman. IT support. Tour Guide.

A reformed red room or Serpent Society?
Good God was I the only one to assume we're witnessing the birth of a supervillain team?

Spoiler

And I don't mean the Thunderbolts!

That would be cool too, but the MCU is a Disney porduct and its already pretty clear that Yelena is joining the new Avengers team. I think Yelena will continue to have contact with the widows and Taskmaster and they will be protrayed as shadowy anti-heroes rather than as supervillains.

But she works for the contessa, who is described as the MCU's new villain everywhere I've looked on the net. It seems like Yelena and John Walker will be part of some new Avengers-like anti-hero group. Maybe not villains, as such. Maybe more like the MCU version of the Suicide Squad? I dunno.

Yes the Thunderbolts I believe, it's the other widows I was thinking about.
But if that character who recruited them is going to become Madame Hydra however...
Please note not a spoiler just gossip so it just highlights something else Marvel needs to pay attention to.

US Agent is first a Government appointee to monitor the West Coast Avengers (where he gets into conflict with Hawkeye) and later becomes leader of the Dark Avengers. Yelena would fit that profile too - the situation with Sharon Carter and the Contessa seems to indicate that the MCU avengers are taking a turn to the more shady path

No Norman Osborn?

No Norman Osborn?

He hasnt been introduced to the MCU yet, Im guessing he’s tied up with the Spiderman rights

Beetle is another such character, how about Atlas I'm sorry the Giant Man villain?
