Together with the remainder of the principle forged (with one notable exception), Pullman is about to return for Avengers: Doomsday, and the actor not too long ago teased Bob/Sentry’s function within the subsequent main Marvel Studios occasion film.
Spoilers for Thunderbolts* observe.
On the finish of the antihero team-up movie, Bob joins his new allies as a member of The New Avengers, however he makes it very clear within the post-credits scene that he would not wish to threat changing into the Sentry once more in case the Void takes over.
Whereas chatting with Men’s Health, Pullman revealed that his teammates are going to be conserving a really shut eye on Bob in Doomsday, whereas additionally attempting to determine a solution to harness the “energy of a thousand exploding suns” with out unleashing his internal darkness upon the world.
“The Thunderbolts don’t wish to let him out of their sight, as a result of they notice that if he’s caught within the unsuitable arms, or if he’s not being supported sufficient by the precise individuals, he may be harmful. However in addition they wish to preserve him shut in case they’ll work out a approach to make use of him. He’s an excellent asset. It’s a tough scenario they’re in.

We do not anticipate the Sentry taking part in too large a task within the occasions of Doomsday (no person is lasting very lengthy towards such a robust foe, not even Robert Downey Jr.’s Physician Doom), so count on Pullman to remain in “Bob mode” for many of the film.
