The highly anticipated Marvel film, ‘Thunderbolts*’, has been shrouded in mystery. It’s safe to say that one of the biggest secrets is the identity of the character “Bob,” played by Lewis Pullman.
While fans have long suspected that Bob is actually The Sentry, a powerful hero with a troubled past, the character has remained largely enigmatic in the marketing materials. However, Lewis finally confirmed that fans will get to see the Sentry in the upcoming film.

In a recent interview with ComicBook, Lewis Pullman teased that fans will finally get to see Bob in a more iconic superhero outfit.

“I will say he does make his way out of those scrubs. He gets to change, and I hope he…I don’t know, it wasn’t on camera. But I hope he washes them. But he does get to relieve himself of those scrubs, which, you know, is nice,” Lewis stated.
The Sentry is a complex character in the Marvel comics, known for his immense power and his mental health issues. His costume often reflects his inner turmoil, with a dark and brooding appearance. So, it is possible that Bob’s costume in ‘Thunderbolts*’ will be a reflection of his own personal struggles and the weight of his newfound powers.
Moreover, Pullman’s comments about Bob’s costume change suggest that the character is undergoing a transformation. This could be a sign that he is finally embracing his identity as The Sentry and beginning to harness his full potential. So, fans can expect to see a more confident and powerful Bob in the film.

However, he quickly dispelled the rumors, assuring fans that there was no mistake in the image. “I’ve heard about the six-finger thing. But if you look closely, there’s actually no mistakes going on. I actually spent some time because I was like, ‘Did they give me a sixth finger?’” he explained.
“But they didn’t. It’s just cropped at the right point where it looks like there’s an extra tip happening or something,” he added. Pullman explained that the angle of the photo and the cropping had created an illusion of an extra finger. Moreover, he found the whole situation hilarious, especially due to the attention it had garnered online.
