Deadlinerecently interviewed Pullman at aThunderboltspremiere where he was able to open up about becoming part of theAvengers: Doomsdaycast. It turns out that Pullman had a very special way of finding out that he was reprising hisThunderboltscharacter inAvengers: Doomsday, as he shared the following:
I wish I had stuff to say, I’d happily leak it. I haven’t heard a dang thing about it - but I’m excited that I’m a part of it, that was news to me. Danny Ramirez, one of my good buddies, is also in it. I had like 30 missed calls from him when I was shooting, and I was like, ‘What the heck could have happened?!’ He broke the news to me in a great way.
What Lewis Pullman’s Avengers: Doomsday Comments Mean For His MCU Character’s Future
While Marvel Studios kept Pullman’s character as a big mystery, as he has simply been named “Bob,“it’s been clear throughout 2025 that they want fans to know that his character is going to be a big deal, including how manyThunderboltstrailers gave away that he is Sentry. With Sentry being a majorly powerful Marvel character, it makes senseThunderboltswouldn’t be a one-and-done for this character. Revealing that Sentry and the otherThunderbolts*cast members will be inAvengers: Doomsdayalso serves as a reminder to the audience regarding why they shouldn’t miss the Phase 5 finale.

However, whether or notThunderboltswill set anything up for Sentry’s return inAvengers: Doomsdayremains to be seen. Knowing how Marvel Studios likes to operate, they are bound to have planted a seed or two inThunderboltsthat justifies Sentry being part oftheAvengers: Doomsdaycast.
