"Looks like cosplay stuff tbh": Online reactions erupt as the new look at SENTRY in Thunderbolts revealed 

Marvel Studios is cooking something big with Thunderbolts, the 36th in the ever-expanding MCU. The movie, directed by Jake Schreier and written by a powerhouse trio—Eric Pearson, Lee Sung Jin, and Joanna Calo—features antiheroes, questionable choices, and at least one character brooding in the dark.

But the biggest surprise? Top Gun: Maverick star Lewis Pullman is gearing up - not as a hero but as the film's lead villain. In the MCU, sometimes you have to embrace the darkness before stepping into the light. Marvel recently revealed the new look of Sentry.

Pullman will be portraying Bob Reynolds, a man battling more inner demons than most MCU villains combined. In the comics, Reynolds does become the ultra-powerful superhero Sentry, but only after first unleashing his crazy dark alter ego, the Void. As soon as the Sentry's new look was revealed, someone took to his X account and commented:

"Looks like cosplay stuff tbh"

Fans quickly picked up on the comment, turning it into a major talking point as they dissected Sentry’s costume and overall look. Whether interpreted as a critique or simply an offhand observation, the remark contributed to the constant chatter around the film's visuals.

So, before fans can get their gleaming new caped hero, it seems like they'll first have to contend with his destructive split personality. Old school MCU - giving us a hero, but ensuring he destroys some cities along the way.

As predicted, the internet was filled with plenty to say about the new Thunderbolt's reveal. Fans never hesitated to dissect every piece of information, from costume critiques to crazy speculations on the plot. They turned the moment into a full-blown debate.

There were some serious reactions, while others were plain comedy, but one thing is for sure - no MCU reveal would be complete without the internet having its say. Let's go through the funniest and most intriguing fan reactions.
