We probably won't have too much longer to wait for Marvel Studios to release some official promo stills of Lewis Pullman suited-up as Sentry in Thunderbolts*, but for now, we do have some more behind-the-scenes shots of the Top Gun: Maverick actor in full costume as the Golden Guardian.

The photos were shared by director Jake Schreier and makeup artist Lane Friedman (click here to see the latter).

Though his action sequence with the other main characters is one of the most memorable parts of the movie, Pullman only wears the costume for a couple of scenes, as he is taken over by the shadowy entity known as "The Void" when Val's assistant Mel hits a kill switch that is supposed to put him down for good.

We're sure "Bob" will don the suit (or a new one) again in Avengers: Doomsday, but he might decide against the blonde dye-job!

Thunderbolts* is expected to claim the No. 1 spot at the domestic box office this weekend with a $31.5 million gross across Friday and preview screenings from 4,330 theaters. This puts the antihero team-up film on track for a $70 million to $75 million debut (we'll have an update for you later on).

Not a terrible start, but the movie will need plenty of positive word of mouth if it hopes to keep filling seats over the next few weeks.

Thunderbolts* is currently sitting at 88% on Rotten Tomatoes with 255 reviews counted.

Marvel Studios recently announced the exciting news that Son Lux will be scoring Thunderbolts*. The three-member, American experimental band was Oscar and BAFTA- nominated for their score for 2022’s best picture, Everything Everywhere All at Once. 

In Thunderbolts*, Marvel Studios assembles an unconventional team of antiheroes — Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster and John Walker. After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, these disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts. Will this dysfunctional group tear themselves apart, or find redemption and unite as something much more before it’s too late?

Returning to their Marvel Cinematic Universe roles are Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Hannah John-Kamen and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The cast also includes newcomers to the MCU—Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, Chris Bauer and Wendell Edward Pierce.

Jake Schreier directs Thunderbolts* with Kevin Feige producing. Louis D’Esposito, Brian Chapek and Jason Tamez serve as executive producers.

Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* opens in U.S. theaters on May 2, 2025.

They do, not full on but we do get to see why he feels like he does and mental state he’s in.

@MisterDoctor217 - I not long got back from watching it. They really rushed sentry to void

@AllsNotGood -

Really ? I think the void was always there.

From the very beginning we meet Bob , you know something isn’t quite right

I think they handled all the sides to Robert Reynolds , wonderfully
Yeah we only get one Sentry scene but he’s too OP for the Thunderbolts, I think it’s smart to save his next Sentry appearance for the Avengers movies.

@MisterBones - That was great, during Sentry's breakout in the Penthouse fight, and the recurring Yelena/Thunderbolts theme. 🤌🏾

Really liked it. Got goose bumps when sentry turned up. Be a shame if he doesn't interact with any other super humans on his level

@AllsNotGood - Spidey was on his way from Queens but got swallowed by the Void before he could get there. Doc Strange was in another Dimension with Clea. The SANCTUM got swallowed up before they realized what happened. Sam was on his way from Washington but it ended before he could get there and he turned back. And everyone, wasn't watching the news when it started. So, was over before they found out about it. Everyone else who could have helped is dead or off planet or in some other part of the world. New York is not the only place shit is going down.

Really loved this movie, Lewis was the highlight of the movie followed by Wyatt.

One thing that bothered me was Sentry and Bucky ugly ass wigs, they remember me of Kate Mara wig from the Fant4stic reshoots. Come one Disney you are a multi billion dollar company dont be cheap [frick]s.

I liked the character so much and the suit so much, that I can overlook that that particular shade of blonde does not suit Lewis Pullman lol

I hope they go with a darker shade of blonde for Doomsday lol
But that suit looks amazing and he wears it well ⚡️
