We are pretty certain that Lewis Pullman is playing Sentry in Thunderbolts* (we even caught a glimpse of his "S" belt buckle in the recent trailer), but Marvel Studios still hasn't made it official, which means the actor is still unable to confirm his role during interviews.
Even so, the Salem's Lot star has managed to divulge some details about his character while sidestepping anything too revealing, and he has now addressed something fans have been curious about ever since rumors first did the rounds that Sentry was set to make his MCU debut.
While speaking to Total Film, Pullman was asked if "Bob" - who was introduced in the trailer as a seemingly meek and agreeable fella - will ultimately become a villain and turn against our titular band of misfits.
"God, I would love to know. I genuinely, I don't know," he responded. "It's one of the exciting parts about being invited into the whole universe is there's a lot of unknowns, and you just kind of got to go with the flow and embrace the unknowns of it all."
"But I would enjoy going in either direction. I can say that," he added.
Of course, having filmed the movie, we're fairly sure Pullman does know - though he may be referring to how his character progresses over future films.
Based on what we've heard, it seems likely that Bob will be manipulated by Val into turning on his teammates, but we assume they will eventually gain his trust again - since we can't imagine how they could possibly bring him down otherwise!
We're still not sure what the addition of that asterisk to the title signifies, but a recent rumor claimed to shed a little more light on the mystery. It could be considered a spoiler, so click here if you want to know more.
