TheThunderbolts , meanwhile , may have their own answer to the divine scoundrel in the form of Sentry . While unconfirmed , the bruit inclusion of Marvel ’s most hefty superhero in the movie make for some exciting possibilities .
Sentry has been confirmed to be debuting in Marvel Studios ' Thunderbolts project in Phase 5 , scar the Marvel Comics poor boy ’s live - activity debut .
lookout is Marvel ’s answer to Superman , with a litany of king that make him nigh - unstoppable . While on the face of it on the side of the good cat in the bod of Sentry , his malevolent alter - ego , Void , is a incessant cause for concern among every other Marvel fiber and every other inhabitant of the universe .
