In This Underrated Stylish Neo-Noir, Lewis Pullman Proved He's the Perfect Choice for 'Thunderbolts*' Sentry
Before Lewis Pullman was playing The Sentry in Thunderbolts*, he was a sketchy hotel worker with a dark past in Bad Times at the El Royale.
In addition to bringing back and teaming up a gang of anti-heroes from past projects, Thunderbolts* is set to introduce a new one who could very well become the most powerful and dangerous figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Lewis Pullman plays the role of Robert “Bob” Reynolds, better known as the unpredictable superhero The Sentry, who, like his comic book counterpart, has a villainous alternate personality known as The Void. The role was initially given to Steven Yeun, who had previously worked with director Jake Schreier on the Netflix series Beef. While fans of that actor might understandably be disappointed that he ultimately had to leave the project due to scheduling conflicts, Pullman’s body of work shows that he is more than capable of bringing the complex figure to life, with his role in the stylish, underrated neo-noir, Bad Times at the El Royale, in particular, highlighting some of the qualities that make him a great choice for the part.
