From leaks to memes: Fans react to the first look at Sentry in Thunderbolts

As the Sentry’s new look spread across social media, fans were quick to weigh in with a mix of excitement, confusion, and, of course, meme-worthy responses. The yellow-heavy design was a particular point of interest, sparking a flurry of commentary. One user voiced a cautious approval, tweeting,

"He better be GOLDER than that, more GOLDISH? Idk but I want to be blinded by the Sentry," accompanied by a GIF of a man screaming, “I AM THE GOLDEN GOD.”

Others, however, weren’t so dazzled by the suit’s intricate design.

“Covered in overdesigned lines and ‘tech’ details. Who would have guessed!!!” one unimpressed fan noted.

Some users took a more lighthearted approach to the reveal.

“Lemme guess someone’s going to complain bout the many lines🤦‍♂️,” tweeted one user, poking fun at the inevitable nitpicking.

Meanwhile, another fan couldn’t help but point out the usual suspect when it comes to leaks, writing,

“It’s always Funko to leak it first 😭,” referencing how Funko merchandise often gives away major character reveals.

The golden color scheme, resembling the superhero's comic book origins, was also a hot topic.

“ngl i’m loving the yellow of this suit it’s reminding me of super shadow 😭,” tweeted one fan, drawing comparisons to another character known for his flashy golden look.

The final say, though, was a mix of skepticism and surprise.

“He looks...good??” tweeted one fan, perfectly capturing the internet’s cautious optimism about the upcoming film.

And, as rumors swirled about the Sentry’s inclusion in the movie, one fan made a keen observation:

“It seems the rumors were true: Thor's Magic Belt.”

Who is Sentry? And what to expect from Thunderbolts

For those unfamiliar with our primary 'villain, ' he’s not your typical hero; he’s an anti-hero with a dark side. Sentry is known for fighting his personal demons and is well-known for his godlike abilities, which are sometimes compared to the "power of a thousand exploding suns." Robert Reynolds, his alter ego, struggles with mental health concerns that occasionally lead him to lose control and transform into the Void, his wicked counterpart. He is known to be a strong and erratic character in the Marvel world because of this duality.

Sentry's participation in the Thunderbolts movie is anticipated to bring a level of complication, particularly given rumors that he is positioned as the primary enemy. Given that the Thunderbolts itself includes anti-heroes and former criminals like Bucky Barnes and Yelena Belova, his position on the morally dubious squad might cause a stir. Our antagonist is a wild card because of his immense strength and unpredictable personality, and fans are excited to see how the film resolves his complex plot.

Fans also got a preview of what Lewis Pullman's on-screen representation would look like, thanks to the leaked merchandising photos. Even though not much is known about Pullman's interpretation of the part, Marvel fans are intrigued by the casting and want to see how he tackles the position of supervillain to hero. Fans and critics are already raving about the film; some are thrilled to see a new actor in such a challenging part, while others are nervously awaiting word on whether it will measure up to the hype.
