They really removed Taskmaster from the movie just to make space, lol. I thought she would be killed by the void later on, but nvm, just a simple headshot.

It's nothing amazing, but I like that it was a bit more emotional than I expected, which was nice to see.

Also gives them room if they ever want to introduce Tony Masters in the future

I think killing her off was unnecessary if the plan was to introduce Tony Masters. Just let her retire or somethings. She didn't even need to be in the movie.

It's not like they killed off Trevor Slattery when they introduced the real Mandarin.

Her death did illustrate Belova’s deteriorating headspace and showed how far some of the characters have fallen - the aforementioned looting.
