**Thunderbolts* Debut Trailer Reveals First Look at Lewis Pullman’s Sentry**

**Who sent you, Bob?**

Marvel Studios has released the debut trailer for Thunderbolts*, set to be the last film of Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (yes, that asterisk is deliberate, and no, Marvel Studios chief Keven Feige has yet to explain why).

The trailer, below, kicks off with Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova visiting her father, Red Guardian (David Harbour), who isn’t in the best of places. It’s clear neither character is particularly happy with their lot and both are in need of some stimulation.

Throughout the course of the trailer we see this anti-hero team-up take shape, with Wyatt Russell as John Walker / U.S. Agent, Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr / Ghost, and Olga Kurylenko as Antonia Dreykov / Taskmaster trying to wrap their heads around what’s happening to them even as they fight one another. Sebastian Stan reprises his role as Bucky Barns / Winter Soldier, and based on the trailer, we'll see Bucky go up against the Thunderbolts before becoming their de facto leader.

At one point we see Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, who is ostensibly in charge of the Thunderbolts. But the highlight is a first look at Lewis Pullman’s Bob, aka Sentry, who appears bemused when the rest of the team turn up unannounced.

**Lewis Pullman as Robert "Bob" Reynolds, aka Sentry**

Lewis Pullman replaces Steven Yeun as Sentry following Yeun's departure from the role due to scheduling conflicts. Pullman is known for his memorable performances in films like Top Gun: Maverick and TV series Outer Range.

The role of Sentry became vacant after Yeun had to drop out of the Thunderbolts line-up due to scheduling conflicts caused by the movie's delayed release date. Sentry is perhaps the most powerful superhero in the Marvel Universe, but has not had much exposure outside of Marvel's comics.

**The Thunderbolts: The Tumultuous History of Marvel's Twisted Super-Team**

As Marvel Studios prepares to introduce the Thunderbolts to the MCU, it's time to brush up on the tumultuous history of this team of would-be heroes.

The Thunderbolts were created by writer Kurt Busiek and artist Mark Bagley. The first issue introduced the team as a seemingly benevolent group trying to fill the void left by the missing Avengers. However, that issue's twist ending reveals the Thunderbolts are actually villains in disguise.

The team has undergone several overhauls over the years, including a major one in the aftermath of Marvel's Civil War crossover. Led by Norman Osborn, this team of incarcerated super-criminals was charged with hunting down heroes who violated the Superhuman Registration Act.

**Thunderbolts Cast and Crew**

Jake Schreier is directing Thunderbolts from a script penned by Lee Sung Jin, who is working from the first draft by Black Widow screenwriter Eric Pearson. David Harbour previously said Pearson had a "really cool" idea for the story that would "drop a bomb" on the MCU when it eventually comes to theaters.

**Release Date**

Thunderbolts is set to release in theaters later this year.
