Could Sentry be the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s strongest hero? A new Thunderbolts rumor teases how powerful the hero really is along with his ability to contain his strength.

It’s all but confirmed that Sentry will be making his MCU debut in Thunderbolts. Ever since this well-substantiated rumor hit the net, fans have been wondering why Marvel’s Superman wouldn’t just kill the pack of super soldiers hunting him. According to Hollywood insider DanielRPK, there’ll be a “good explanation” as to why he doesn’t kill the anti-heroes.

Fans solely of the MCU will likely assume that the Sentry is a villain given every rumor around his role in Thunderbolts. However, Robert Reynolds is actually a hero in the comics. While he has his struggles with mental health, he generally enforces a no-kill rule for himself. Yet it seems Marvel will make those struggles will be more prominent than ever in Thunderbolts.

Sentry’s Darker Side In Thunderbolts

Even though it’s likely Sentry will have a no-kill rule in the MCU, that doesn’t mean Marvel won’t be having him kill. According to scooper @Cryptic4KQual, the Sentry will be just as strong in Thunderbolts as he is in the comics, sometimes losing himself due to how unstable his mental health is throughout the film.

This rumor points to The Void rearing its ugly head in the MCU. In the comics, The Void is a dark entity of pure destruction bonded to the Sentry, often being one of the main focal points Marvel uses when crafting his stories. If this rumor is true, it seems the Thunderbolts are in for one hell of a fight next year!

Thunderbolts is currently set to hit theaters on May 2, 2025. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
