Because the actor who's playing Taskmaster hasn't been officially revealed, it has sparked silly rumors that he may actually be one of the female characters in the movie in disguise. One of the theories is that it's Rachel Weisz's character, but come on. Revealing Taskmaster to really be a 50-year-old woman...yeah, that would be pretty fucking lame.

Honestly, I don't think there's really much to these rumors at all. The main reason they probably haven't revealed Taskmaster's actor is because he's just being played by random stuntmen. Since Taskmaster's powers are all about his ability to pull off complex fight moves that he's observed, they probably just went with athletic guys who were physically able to do really elaborate fighting and acrobatic moves...things most regular actors couldn't dream of doing.

Also, I don't usually mind when they play around with the gender or ethnicity of certain characters when they bring them to the screen, but it would piss me off and Taskmaster's case since, if you read the comics, you'd know that him being a gruff and tough-talking guy is a central part of his character, with the Brooklyn accent and all.

So yeah, I don't think he's a woman.
