Sentry, is a superhero that first appeared in<em> The Sentry #1<\/em> in 2000. The character was created by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee. Sentry went on to appear in a series of Marvel comics and even worked alongside several members of The Avengers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-7\">Sentry is arguably considered one of the MCU&#8217;s most dangerous superheroes, but he hasn&#8217;t been seen in much of the action on screen yet.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v-94Snw-H4o?version=3&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<h2>Who Is Playing Sentry in the &#8216;Thunderbolts&#8217; Movie?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\">Initially, actor Steven Yeun was set to play Sentry in <em>Thunderbolts<\/em>. However, the film kept getting pushed back due to the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which ended in the fall of that year. Due to reported scheduling issues, Steven backed out of the project, and actor <strong>Lewis Pullman<\/strong> replaced him as Sentry.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-9\">Lewis \u2014 the son of fellow actor <a  href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/celeb\/bill-pullman\/\"  ><strong>Bill Pullman<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 was seen in the 2022 box office hit<em> Top Gun: Maverick<\/em>, a sequel to the original 1986 action movie <em>Top Gun<\/em>. In <em>Maverick<\/em>, Lewis played Lt. Robert &#8220;Bob&#8221; Floyd. He&#8217;s also starred in <em>Lessons in Chemistry<\/em> and <em>Outer Range<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-10\">Over the summer of 2024, Lewis played it coy when he was asked about rumors over his casting.
