‘Thunderbolts*’ Star Lewis Pullman Will Not Confirm Whether He Is Playing Sentry
While the upcoming Marvel Studios film Thunderbolts* will primarily focus on a team of well-established anti-heroes and former villains, the film is also set to introduce a handful of new characters.
Thunderbolts* will follow the adventures of the titular team, which has been assembled by Valentia Allegra de Fontaine.
Under the watchful eye of Thunderbolt Ross, the Thunderbolts will be comprised of Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Red Guardian (David Harbour), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), and U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell).

Joining the already-established team of Marvel characters will be Top Gun: Maverick star Lewis Pullman, whose role has yet to be revealed.
Is Lewis Pullman Playing Sentry?
Despite the fact that Marvel is keeping the details of both the Thunderbolts* plot and Pullman’s character under wraps, speculation has run rampant online that the Top Gun star will be portraying Sentry, a super middle-aged hero with super-human strength.
Following his debut as part of the Marvel Knights miniseries, Sentry would join the Avengers and later the Dark Avengers.

The more we learn about Thunderbolts*, the more it seems like the team will transform into a version of the Dark Avengers. Sentry, then, would be a natural fit.
Pullman Plays Coy
In a recent interview with Josh Horowitz on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, Pullman refused to confirm whether or not he will be playing. He did, however, share his excitement about joining the MCU.
“You know, I think the MCU is always something that I’ve watched and felt like is a beautiful world that is kind of untouchable,” he said. “I think there is something about joining that world which is similar to joining television in that whenever somebody joins in, you want it to be as a character you can live in for a long time and an aspect of the world you want to be in.”

When pushed by Horowitz and shown a picture of Sentry, Pullman continued to play coy.
“I haven’t looked into Sentry. First time I’ve heard this name. The Sentry sounds like a snakey, shapeshifter kind of vibe, if you read the comics.”
Excitement Surrounding Thunderbolts*
In the end, the cone of silence that surrounds Marvel stars won out, and Pullman refused to divulge information about what character he will play.

Still, no matter who he is portraying, Pullman sounds excited to be in Thunderbolts*.
“I love graphic novels and comics. I think there’s something so cool about that world because it’s basically mythology,” he said.
