Thunderbolts* (2025)
That’s right—Lewis Pullman is essentially an Avenger. He appeared in 2025’s Thunderbolts* (The New Avengers) as Bob Reynolds (aka Sentry, aka Void), a man with amnesia and superpowers that supposedly make him stronger than the entire Avengers team combined. He was endowed with his powers as part of a corporate experiment, only to be imprisoned due to the instability of his incredible strength and mental health struggles. He was later freed by the Thunderbolts and dubbed Sentry, only for his evil alter ego, Void, to surface, uncontrollably spreading darkness and sending innocent people to pocket realms.
Thunderbolts* is available to stream on Disney+, and of course, Bob will be returning in Avengers: Doomsday.
