Who Is ‘Bob’ In The MCU’s ‘Thunderbolts*’ Film?

Marvel Studios isn’t treading sparingly with a brand new Thunderbolts* teaser trailer that eclipses the three:00 minute mark. The post-Deadpool and Wolverine movie, which hopes to reinvigorate MCU ensemble photos, encompasses a group of ex-villains who now we have principally seen in different Disney films. The ensemble is led by Yelena Belova/White Widow (Florence Pugh) and consists of Winter Soldier/Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan, who is certainly pulling that arm out of a dishwasher), Purple Guardian (David Harbour), John Walker/US Agent (Wyatt Russell), organizer Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), Purple Hulk/Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (Harrison Ford), and extra.

That “extra” consists of “Bob,” seen above on the 1:45 mark, who’s portrayed by Lewis Pullman (additionally a Bob in Prime Gun: Maverick) and will need to have extra to his id, proper? You understand it. Bob is brief for Robert Reynolds, a.okay.a. the Sentry. He was reportedly going to be portrayed by Steven Yeun, who later exited on account of scheduling conflicts.

Don’t be deceived by Bob’s comparatively weak wanting look upon discovery within the trailer. Marvel holds the Sentry out as possessing virtually limitless energy including as much as “1,000,000 exploding suns.” Consequently, he could be a highly effective hero, however he has a darkish facet and a precarious psychological state that may drag him down into probably the most highly effective villainy as properly:

The Sentry battles many foes, however none as highly effective as his arch-nemesis and darker half, the Void, a malevolent persona who dedicates his life to killing as many individuals because the Sentry rescues. For a very long time, the 2 don’t understand they’re elements of the identical particular person and the Sentry goes to nice lengths to defeating the Void, even altering his reminiscences and that of the worlds’ reminiscences as properly.

Within the comics, the Sentry was recruited into the Thunderbolts group by Inexperienced Goblin/Norman Osborn, who provided the struggling hero assist for his psychological ills. As of now, there’s been no indication that Inexperienced Goblin will floor on this movie, and Disney/Marvel Studios is protecting the precise plot of this film underneath the cloak of secrecy aside from to supply this description: “Marvel Studios and a crew of indie veterans who bought out current ‘Thunderbolts*,’ an irreverent team-up that includes depressed murderer Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) alongside the MCU’s least anticipated band of misfits.”

Please take pleasure in this poster, which certain does resemble a Sons Of Anarchy picture. Bob is clearly not having fun with himself right here:

Thunderbolts* (which is able to presumably be distinguishable from Suicide Squad in a number of methods) might be launched on Could 2, 2025.
