With Thunderbolts*, the Marvel Cinematic Universe introduces Sentry and his dark counterpart, the Void. The film follows the titular team as they respond to a growing threat consuming New York City. The trailer reveals Sentry’s involvement and suggests his transformation into the Void, a destructive force tied to his origins.
Fans react to Sentry’s powers as The Void in Thunderbolts* trailer
Marvel Studios has released a new trailer for Thunderbolts during the Super Bowl, showcasing the first official look at Lewis Pullman’s Sentry.
The footage introduces the Thunderbolts team, led by Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), as they face a major threat in New York City. One key reveal is Sentry’s transformation, hinting at his connection to the Void, a destructive force from Marvel Comics.
The trailer reveals a shadowy entity consuming New York, with Sentry seemingly at its center. In the comics, Bob Reynolds, also known as Sentry, harbors an alter ego called the Void, a force of chaos and destruction.
The footage also depicts civilians turning into shadows, an ability linked to the Void. Additionally, the trailer confirms Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) as the secret buyer of Avengers Tower, solving a long-running MCU mystery.
Reactions on X (formerly Twitter) have been immediate. One post states, “THE VOID IN THE MCU! Thunderbolts* trailer looking great.” Another reads, “VOID in the MCU. We are not ready for the destruction.” A separate post highlights a key moment from the trailer, stating, “Sentry/The Void using his powers in Thunderbolts*.”
In Marvel Comics, the Void is Sentry’s dark alter ego, created when Bob Reynolds consumed the experimental Golden Sentry Serum, a failed attempt to replicate Captain America’s Super Soldier Serum. The Void has caused mass destruction and has forced Marvel’s heroes to take extreme measures to stop him.
With Thunderbolts* set for release on May 2, 2025, speculation continues on how the team will face the Void and whether they can contain Sentry’s overwhelming power.
