The latest trailer for ‘Thunderbolts*’ dropped at the Superbowl, and with it comes the first real look at the team in action. Fans have long speculated about the lineup of this misfit group.
Now, the trailer has made it clear that the stakes have never been higher. The trailer makes it so that the Thunderbolts are the only ones left to pick up the pieces. However, the most jaw-dropping reveal? The debut of Sentry, a character whose arrival could change the MCU forever.
Sentry’s MCU Arrival Could Spell Doom For The Thunderbolts
Marvel’s answer to Superman, Sentry is one of the most powerful beings in comic book history. However, with immense power comes an equally immense danger, and this film is about to showcase his darkest side. The trailer hints at a catastrophic force consuming the city. For those unfamiliar with Sentry, he isn’t your typical superhero.

He’s a god-tier being with abilities that make even the strongest Avengers look weak in comparison. The Void, however, is the dark side of Sentry’s power. In the comics, the Void has wiped out millions, and judging by the trailer, the MCU is not holding back on showcasing its horrors.
Dark tendrils creep across New York, swallowing civilians in seconds. The floating figure at the center of it all? Almost certainly Sentry, consumed by his own darkness. This poses a massive problem for the Thunderbolts. While they’re highly skilled, they are far from being an Avengers-level team.
The Thunderbolts Are On A Suicide Mission
One of the most exciting reveals from the Thunderbolts trailer is the confirmation of who bought Avengers Tower. After years of speculation, it turns out Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s Valentina is the one who took over the iconic building.

However, with Valentina in control and the Thunderbolts stepping in to replace the Avengers, a brutal reality sets in, this is a team that was never meant to survive. Reports have suggested that early versions of the Thunderbolts script saw the characters embarking on a mission they weren’t supposed to come back from.
With the Void as their enemy, that scenario seems more likely than ever. Moreover, if the MCU follows the comics, things could get even worse. In the source material, the only way to stop the Void was by erasing Sentry’s memories.
