The Sentry turns into The Void in new Thunderbolts* tickets announcement trailer
In the new Thunderbolts* trailer, Sentry, played by Lewis Pullman, declares, “I am The Void… there’s no use fighting! You don’t know what I’m capable of. Maybe I need to show you.”
Valentina Allegra de Fontaine adds, “He’s invincible, all-powerful, [and] stronger than all of The Avengers rolled into one.” This confirms Sentry’s full identity in the MCU, marking Pullman’s character as “Bob,” now revealed to be The Sentry.
The international trailer, released by Marvel Australia & New Zealand, offers a clearer look at Sentry as his eyes begin to glow, emphasizing his immense power. Marvel Studios now officially categorizes the character as “Earth’s Mightiest Hero.”
Before this reveal, previous trailers kept Pullman’s role shadowed and unnamed. The new footage confirms that Sentry will return in Avengers: Doomsday, confirming his survival beyond Thunderbolts*.
The film brings together an unlikely team of anti-heroes—Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster, and U.S. Agent—who are forced into a lethal mission orchestrated by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.
They must confront their pasts and work together to stop Sentry and potentially redeem him. Jake Schreier, the film’s director, cited Toy Story 3, Ronin, and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol as inspirations. “It wasn’t as focused on a genre as much as dynamics amongst characters,” he said in an interview with Empire.
“You’re talking about a group of characters that have done a lot of bad things, and maybe are struggling with feeling good about themselves,” Schreier added. “There’s an element that does speak to mental health, and loneliness and how some of the darkness that we experience in our lives can’t be necessarily fixed, but can only really be made lighter through connection and finding others.”
