Bob vs. Sentry vs. the Void — Lewis Pullman’s Hero Is a One-Man War in the MCU

(Note: This post contains major spoilers for Marvel’s Thunderbolts*.)

Thunderbolts* is now in theaters near you, and we have some details on Lewis Pullman‘s character, Bob Reynolds, for you. In the movie, it is confirmed that Pullman’s Bob has two alter egos in the MCU: Sentry and the Void.

As you can see, Bob is the primary personality—he’s helpful, struggles with himself, isn’t a great fighter, has fears like heights, and is a quiet, relatable sweetheart whose mental health struggles are fully shown.

Sentry is a powerful, serious figure with a good heart and a strict no-kill rule. He’s an excellent fighter, a reality warper, and guided by strong morals. While he retains some traits of Bob, he is the alter ego most likely to shift into the Void. As an omega-level threat, Sentry’s abilities make him one of the most dangerous beings in the MCU.

Void, on the other hand, represents pure self-hatred. He is evil, physically powerful, a skilled fighter, and a reality warper whose powers are the opposite of Sentry’s. As a master manipulator and omega-level threat, the Void is capable of ending the world—or possibly even the universe.

The film is directed by Jake Schreier and stars Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Wyatt Russell as John Walker/U.S. Agent, Olga Kurylenko as Antonia Dreykov/Taskmaster, David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr/Ghost, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Pullman as Sentry, and Geraldine Viswanathan as Erin. Laurence Fishburne and Rachel Weisz are confirmed to reprise their roles as scientist Bill Foster and spy Melina Vostakov.

“In Thunderbolts*, Marvel Studios assembles an unconventional team of antiheroes — Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster, and John Walker. After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap — set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine — these disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts. Will this dysfunctional group tear themselves apart — or find redemption and unite as something much more — before it’s too late?”

Thunderbolts* is now playing in theaters and has grossed $162.1 million worldwide in its opening weekend.
