As the newest addition to Marvel’s Thunderbolts cast, Lewis Pullman expresses his thrill for the opportunity, while artfully avoiding confirmation of his speculated role as Robert Reynolds/The Sentry.
In conversation with Happy Sad Confused podcast host Josh Horowitz, presented with the artwork of the comic book character, Pullman remarked, “What a beautiful costume. Look at those locks, my God.” Pullman then played coy, claiming ignorance about the character: “I haven’t looked into Sentry,” he claimed. “The Sentry sounds like a snakey, shapeshifter kind of vibe if you read the comics.”
The Top Gun: Maverick actor shared his awe for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the prospect of becoming part of its legacy. Pullman commented on the MCU’s appeal and the longevity of its characters as a draw for actors, saying, “…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.”
Pullman was cast after Steven Yeun, famed for his work in Invincible, had to bow out over scheduling difficulties arising from the SAG-AFTRA strike. Although Yeun’s departure was a disappointment, fans are intrigued to see what Pullman will bring to the production, even as Marvel Studios remains silent on his exact role.
