Days before Thunderbolts*' debut in theaters, a new piece of art showed off a fantastic look at Lewis Pullman's Sentry.
Marvel is starting to slowly unveil new specific information about Thunderbolts*, including the release of the Phase 5 movie's opening minute of action. Details about the core cast of characters are slowly coming to the forefront, although plot specifics will be kept secret until the film's full release on the big screen.
Included in those secrets is Sentry, who is lined up to be the latest major antagonist threatening Earth's safety. In every piece of footage released thus far, while Pullman's "Bob" persona has popped up on occasion, his fully-evolved Sentry costume and persona have yet to be shown out of the shadows.
New Art Shows Off Sentry's Awesome Look in Thunderbolts*
The X page for the Marvel Future Fight video game shared an official piece of artwork for Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts*, showing an official full look at Lewis Pullman's Sentry.
The image, which also features the core six members of the Thunderbolts team, includes Robert Reynolds' Sentry floating in the air above Bucky Barnes with his eyes glowing.
Even more exciting is that Sentry can be seen in his full yellow and blue costume with his long blue cape flowing behind him. This comes complete with the "S"-adorned blue belt that has been teased in previous imagery and trailers.
While this picture is the first official artwork showing off the costume, Sentry's threads were also highlighted on a Hasbro action figure unveiled in early April. That image and the artwork have come in lieu of a full look at Sentry from Thunderbolts* itself.
Despite Thunderbolts* appearing more grounded with a team of Super Soldiers and powerless characters, Marvel Studios has gone all-out on comic accuracy for Sentry's design, albeit with a slightly more muted color palette.
Marvel Studios may have been hiding Sentry's full supervillain (and soon-to-be superhero) costume from the Thunderbolts* trailers, but that doesn't mean Lewis Pullman has been completely absent from the marketing.
Up until now, the MCU studio has cryptically referred to Pullman's villain as Bob, hinting at Sentry's secret identity in Marvel Comics, Bob Reynolds.
For the most part, Sentry has been hidden in the shadows, with only blacked-out looks at his costume visible. This may be a stylistic choice as, for much of Thunderbolts*, Sentry will be taken over his darker side, The Void.
That said, other trailers have offered snippets of what appears to be a rather comic-accurate Sentry costume with a blue and yellow aesthetic. The IMAX trailer in particular included an extended shot revealing the best live-action look at Sentry.
Bob will be engulfed by The Void in Thunderbolts* as his shadow-creating powers cast darkness on New York and seemingly take countless lives.
Fortunately, Bob is expected to shake that off by the time the credits roll on the MCU's latest blockbuster as Pullman will reprise Sentry in Avengers: Doomsday, likely taking up the heroic to help fight Doctor Doom.
When Will Marvel Show the First Full Look at Thunderbolts*' Sentry?
Even with looks at Sentry coming through artwork and action figures, Marvel Studios has held back from revealing any official imagery or footage of the villain. Thus far, fans have only seen Pullman in scrubs as "Bob" and a tease of what will come with the dark entity known as The Void.
With Thunderbolts* just days away from hitting theaters, Marvel Studios will likely be keeping his live-action look under wraps until then, despite toy leaks. But once the movie has finally been released on Friday, May 2, it wouldn't be surprising to see future spots include his full suit to keep driving ticket sales.
Thankfully, due to him being the main Thunderbolts* villain, it should not take much time to show a full look at his character once the story gets going.
The film could also potentially go back and forth between "Bob" and his Sentry persona, leaving plenty of time before this costume is shown in full. Even more exciting, however, is that this will be far from the last time fans see the blue and yellow threads in the MCU.
Pullman is already confirmed to join the cast of 2026's Avengers: Doomsday, joining most of his co-stars from Thunderbolts* in the MCU's next major team-up outing. How he fits in alongside the team he battles in Thunderbolts* will only be part of the excitement for that movie, especially after he wreaks havoc before then.
Thunderbolts* will debut in theaters on Friday, May 2.
