IIRC, the taskmaster can help tie in the MCU with the X-universe and Deadpool.
Taskmaster is mostly an Avengers villain. He has interacted with Deadpool, but Taskmaster doesn't have a big X-universe history.

Right but they can have that without the joke in the trailer or indeed in the movie. Hell they could have one of them look at the guy who gained weight and say "Yeah, we're all getting older"These guys are required to be in peak condition all the time to fit into their tight suits/gear and perform - it is nice to see that they struggle (and lose sometimes) with weight. It humanizes them.
But who, besides the Avengers would ever even consider putting it back. These are WMDs on a scale otherwise unknown.Probably not. Because otherwise, the sacrifice to get the stone isn't really an issue. You want the stone? Put your friend in a box for a while, come back and get them out when you are done. No big deal.

Anyone one who gets the soul stone likely wants absolute power for themselves, or is enacting a grand design like Thanos himself and still wouldn't want to put it back.
Heck if the only reason the Avengers themselves are considering putting it back is to try to preserve their (already screwed up) timeline. If they weren't trying to do that they'd leave it in Wakanda or something.
I think we have here the only time someone has tried to return the Stone to Vormir.
Once it became known that the Soulstone was available for cheap? Pretty much anyone. Great power, for a time, at very small cost? Huzzah!
Again, who is going to know about this? Does the ghost of the Red Skull gossip in cheap bars?Again, yes, if the cost is high, the only ones who will want it are those who wouldn't want to put it back. But... once the price goes down? I lose the love of my life. My best friend goes with me, goes in a box for a bit, I get my love back, then retrieve my friend. It'd be a bloody revolving door!
Against a being wielding all the other stones yes, but now the Avengers have all those stones in their possession. Still it's a valid point that Cap and T'Challa are certain to consider and probably agree with you on. If Tony were alive however...Wakanda has already shown an inability to protect a single stone, much less the full set.
A great point. The Ancient one explained that, and I wasn't thinking about it.And, no, they don't have to put them back to preserve their own timeline - that's not how this works. They are putting them back because to do otherwise creates alternate timelines that are screwed without them, and that's pretty unethical.
You are right it's probably not a singleton, but given the amount of people with intricate knowledge of the Stones/Gems, their locations, abilities, and drawbacks is pretty limited, I just can't imagine the number of beings walking the stone back being very high.I think that unlikely.
The whole line is weird. I've watched the trailer multiple times and he is not fat. At all. He is normal size. If that is his fat then I'd really like to see how skinny he was before. It's almost like the line was written for another larger actor who then got replaced.Right but they can have that without the joke in the trailer or indeed in the movie.

Is there some kind of "extra! extra! read all about it" soul stone newspaper out there?
he amount of people who know about the stones is few.
The amount of people who know the soul stones location is even fewer.
The amount of people who know about it's cost? even fewer. That we know of it's Thanos, Nebula speculating about the loss of her sister, and Clint bringing the news back to the Avengers.
If Tony were alive however...

That we know of, Thanos has the most knowledge on the subject and he didn't even know the cost at all before showing up on Vormir!
But speculate with me for a bit. if Nat did come back after Steve drops the stone, who would know about it?
Who would know she was the cost in the first place? Who would connect the two together?
