Per the cast listing on IMDb, their is only one listed who seems like a “fit” for the role, at least from a pure talent/skill perspective:

Shaina West

Says she is a master martial artist and swords-woman. Currently she isn’t listed with a specific role in the movie, only that she is in it.

Could Marvel be going full #womanstrong in Black Widow?

Sure TM is a B-list villain in the comics, but to cast a complete unknown for the role of the primary antagonist in this movie? Very risky.

If so, big mistake imo.

Yes, they are. The future is female, embrace it.

Well supposedly Fabgenle is playing Taskmaster. Could be a misdirect though. He hasn't appeared in any of the trailers. If it's not him, and if it's a woman I'm pretty sure it will be Rachel Weisz. Her character is apparently a villain in the comics.

Rachel Weisz as Taskmaster would be the equivalent of having had Robert Redford turn out to be Crossbones at the beginning of Civil War.

In other words, RIDICULOUS.

Btw, who is Fabgenle?

You can't stop the #womanstrong wave, it is here to stay.

I think the opposite that Weisz is a red herring ;). Fabgenle is reportedly playing an old love interest of BW.
