Marvel fans have long speculated about Lewis Pullman’s mysterious role in the upcoming Thunderbolts. Recent comments from David Harbour confirm Pullman is playing the Sentry, a complex character from Marvel Comics. The revelation adds an exciting layer to the film, which concludes the MCU’s Phase Five.
Lewis Pullman’s Sentry Role Confirmed in Thunderbolts
David Harbour, who stars as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian in Thunderbolts, spilled the beans at D23 Brazil, confirming fan theories about Pullman’s character. According to Harbour, Pullman’s Bob is indeed the Sentry, a superhero whose immense power is balanced by his destructive dark alter ego, the Void. This revelation aligns with clues dropped in the film’s teaser trailer.
In the teaser, Pullman appears in scenes as Bob, wearing a bullet-riddled shirt, hinting at his connection to Sentry’s origins. In the comics, Sentry is Robert Reynolds, a man transformed into one of the most powerful heroes after exposure to the Golden Sentry Serum. However, his struggles with the Void make him a compelling yet volatile addition to the Thunderbolts lineup.
Pullman himself has been tight-lipped, even claiming unfamiliarity with the character, but past interviews suggest he knew the stakes of playing this morally ambiguous superhero.
