Marvel recently dropped the trailer for their forthcoming superhero film Thunderbolts*. The one-minute-long video was released on YouTube and it showcases all the members of the namesake group of antiheroes. Viewers took to the comments section to share their thoughts about it and the main villain, Void. One of the fan reactions called Sentry/Void 'Superman with PTSD.' They said:

"Non comic fans, you have no idea what the Sentry being added means. He's Superman with PTSD and very little control over his powers. In the comics he's basically the "in case of emergency, break glass" option. The Void is a Lovecraftian entity born out of his paranoia."

Another user said that Lewis Pullman as Sentry/Void would be one of the greatest Marvel castings after the Secret Wars.

"Lewis Pullman playing Sentry will turn out to be one of the greatest castings in Marvel history post Secret Wars"

One user praised the design of the Void's character and wrote:

"The void being a shadow with glowing eyes is the best decision ever. The design is simple, not over the top and it's just perfect."

Thunderbolts* is the directorial work of Jake Schreier and it is produced by Kevin Feige under the Marvel banner. The story is by Eric Pearson, and the screenplay is by Pearson and Joanna Calo. Here's a list of its cast members and the characters they are playing:
