Sentry’s Debut In Thunderbolts Would Be A Major MCU Mistake
Sentry has been rumored to debut in Thunderbolts, but this could be a huge mistake for Marvel Studios. Thunderbolts was officially announced to be in development at 2022's San Diego Comic Con, joining other exciting projects as part of Marvel Studios' Phase 5 slate. The upcoming film will see antiheroes and reformed villains returning from previous MCU projects to form a new super-powered team, comprised of Yelena Belova, Red Guardian, Bucky Barnes, Ghost, Taskmaster, and US Agent, with Valentina Allegra de Fontaine bringing the team together during various Phase 4 projects.
Since the confirmation of the Thunderbolts' first lineup at 2022's D23 Expo, questions have risen concerning which Marvel villain the Thunderbolts will battle in their premiere adventure. Many names have been thrown in the hat, but the most recent popular theory would see Sentry introduced into the MCU, a remarkable character from Marvel Comics whose dark side would perhaps make for an epic first outing for the MCU's Thunderbolts. However, with anticipation building for the official crossover of the MCU's newest team, Thunderbolts would benefit more from introducing a smaller-scale villain for the team in Phase 5.
