After almost a month of silence, we now finally know something about the new actor who will play Sentry in Thunderbolts, who will be Lewis Pullman, the actor seen in the recent Top Gun Maverick
After receiving the news of Steven Yeun’s abandonment in the role of Sentry, it seems that Lewis Pullman, an actor we recently saw in Tom Cruise’s new film, Top Gun Maverick, will replace the Korean actor as the Marvel superhero. The star of The Walking Dead he abandoned the project due to other work commitments that took him away from the new MCU film due out on July 25, 2025. Steven Yeun was supposed to play Robert Reynolds alias Sentrywho is one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel universe.
Lewis Pullman will be a more loyal Sentry
The rumors about the new actor who would play the character had already started last week The Hollywood Reporterrevealing already that Lewis Pullmanthe star of Top Gun Maverick, was in talks to replace the Korean actor who played the part of Glenn Rhee in The Walking Dead to play the role of Sentry. Just last night, Deadline confirmed the news, announcing that the actor has officially joined the cast. The news will certainly please those who prefer castings that are more faithful to the comics, in fact originally the character of Bob Reynolds He is Caucasian, not Korean.
So, although Steven Yeun is a good actor and could play him great, he would not have been faithful to the character, unlike Lewis Pullman which, aesthetically, seems to have what it takes to bring the Sentry character back to the big screen in faithful manner. Simply put, Sentry is pretty much the Marvel’s Supermanbut with one clear difference: he has a dark side, fueled by his drug addictionand this dark side is called Void. Void is a hideous creature capable of devouring entire universes. The superhero was born with an enhanced supersoldier serum, but it has some major side effects on poor Robert Reynolds. It will be in the film a skinny loser who gains the powers of a God.
