Sentry’s full design for Thunderbolts* has been revealed, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe hero looks comic book-accurate. For now, Marvel Studios has yet to officially announce that Lewis Pullman’s Bob is Sentry. However, parts of his costume have been teased in Thunderbolts*‘s trailers, with the Void, Sentry’s dark counterpart, being set up as the villain Thunderbolts*‘s cast of anti-heroes will go up against in the second MCU movie of 2025. While the trailers have done a good job of hiding Sentry, merch for the upcoming Marvel movie has now unveiled the hero’s full design.
A new Funko listing on Amazon reveals the first look at Lewis Pullman as Sentry in Marvel’s Thunderbolts*. The character sports the same blue and gold costume from the comics, though there are some added lines and design changes that bring it closer to how the MCU likes to modernize superhero suits. For instance, the “S” on Sentry’s suit is broken down by lines. Pullman’s character will also have Sentry’s classic blonde hair, even though Bob has brown hair in the movie, so it remains to be seen how Thunderbolts*‘s story will address that.
What The Sentry Design Reveal Means For The MCU
Marvel’s Superman Is Coming Soon
The Sentry MCU design reveal shows that Marvel Studios wants to do right by the character. The Void’s tease in the latest Thunderbolts* trailer has already made his powers formidable and scary. Now, Sentry’s suit being comic book-accurate shows that Marvel is not hiding away from going all in with the character. The blonde hair is interesting. Since Bob has brown hair, it is possible that the color could change once he transforms into Sentry in the MCU movie.
Sentry will look imposing in his comic book-accurate suit. That is perfect for the character. While he is not very well known outside the comics, Sentry is one of the Marvel characters that were created as an answer to DC’s Superman. The “S” in his belt, as opposed to Superman’s “S” on his chest, is one such nod. Despite them having some costume similarities and powers resembling each other, Marvel Studios does not seem to have a problem bringing Sentry’s classic comic book self to life in the MCU despite knowing Superman comparisons will happen.
Our Take On The Sentry Design Reveal
Sentry’s MCU Suit Looks Incredible
I’m a fan of Sentry’s suit in Thunderbolts*. While a more traditional design without the lines that the MCU seems to add to every other superhero costume would have been better, the modernized Sentry look works. I love how the colors pop and the suit will make Sentry feel completely different from the rest of the Thunderbolts. From what we have seen in the movie’s trailers, it will have a bleak tone, with muted colors. Sentry’s bright costume makes him stand out and really serve in that classic superhero role amid the anti-heroes in Thunderbolts*.
