This article contains details from Marvel comics that may be spoilers for Thunderbolts*.There have already been a lot of questions surrounding Marvels latest team movie Thunderbolts*. Are these guys the new Avengers? Whats with the asterisks? Who is Bob? The latest trailer for Thunderbolts* resolves one of the big questions, even if the answer isnt obvious. Throughout the trailer, we see a dark caped figure flying in the sky, zapping people and leaving behind shadowy dust. That is the Void, arch-enemy to the Sentry a.k.a. Bob. Also, the Void is the Sentry a.k.a. Bob. Theyre the same person.Created by Paul Jenkins, Jae Lee, and Rick Veitch, the Sentry, the Void, and Bob all debuted in the Sentry miniseries Marvel published in 2000. The series followed a troubled man named Robert Reynolds who has a premonition about the return of the Void, and seeks the help of Marvels heroes to find the Sentry, the one person who can stop the villain. However, no one remembers the Sentry, no one except the Hulk, who has fond memories of the Golden Man.Robert slowly discovers that the Sentry was a Superman-like figure whose presence changed things for the better for Marvels heroes. Presented in an art style that mirrored Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, complete with Stan Lee style captions, the issues showed Sentry helping Peter Parker win a Pulitzer and get respect as a photographer, and helping the Hulk channel his anger and use his strength to help others. When the Marvel Universe forgot the Sentry, the heroes became the tragic figures we know now: the monstrous Thing, the rampaging Hulk, the hard-luck Spider-Man, the feared and hated X-Men.Why did everyone forget the Sentry? Because the Sentry had an evil second personality, the Void. For everything good that the Sentry accomplishes, the Void does something evil, creating a balance of suffering. So while Marvels heroes benefited from the Sentrys actions, others suffered. Therefore, they and Robert decided to sacrifice their better lives by wiping everyones memories, not unlike what Doctor Strange does with Peter Parker in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Everyone forgets that the Sentry or the Void existed, including Robert, who lives a normal life as Bob.Thunderbolts* appears to take a slightly different approach to the same material. As seen in earlier trailers, the team finds Bob (Lewis Pullman) in a cage in a warehouse, a scared and confused man who doesnt understand why hes there. This suggests that instead of putting Robert back out into the world with his mind erased, SHIELD and/or the U.S. Government hid him in a facility. When the Thunderbolts break Bob out, they also inadvertently unleash the Void.Or is it inadvertent? Is Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) using the Void to manufacture an Avengers level threat for her Thunderbolts to solve, thus positioning them as the new Dark Avengers?I guess well have to wait until Thunderbolts* hits theaters to get all our questions answered.Thunderbolts* arrives in theaters on May 2, 2025.
