Sentry's Marvel Comics Creator Just Gave His Honest Opinion on Lewis Pullman's 'Thunderbolts*' Performance

The refreshing critical and financial success of Thunderbolts* has got people wondering how Marvel Studios has started to seemingly get their mojo back. It could be that Marvel remembered to prioritize fleshed-out characters over spectacle, or that their stories could have added resonance by touching on deeper real-world themes. One element that's quickly become an embodiment of everything that works about it is Lewis Pullman's portrayal of Robert Reynolds/The Sentry, a fitting bright spot in a film that's usually dunked in its own darkness. While Marvel films are made for broad audiences, no opinion on the success of a character's adaptation matters more than that of the character's creator. In this case, Pullman and director Jake Schreier should feel proud, as Reynolds' comics creator had high praise for their interpretation of him.
