Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re probably aware that the upcoming Thunderbolts movie is introducing one of Marvel’s most formidable characters: Sentry. Fans are scratching their heads, wondering how a group of underdogs—seemingly without superpowers—can possibly stand up against such a titan and, more importantly, where all the superheroes have gone.
What if I told you that the absence of the Avengers might be the very reason behind Sentry’s debut in this film? Perhaps Sentry is poised to fill the gap left by the Avengers, especially after the Thunderbolts confront and take down The Void. Let’s dive deeper into this intriguing storyline.
Why Did Valentina Create Sentry in Thunderbolts?

So, why has Valentina chosen to create Sentry? Early indications suggest that she’s aiming to craft a hero more powerful than the combined might of the Avengers. My hunch is that Valentina aims to avoid another superhero team like the Avengers due to their uncontrollable power. Remember the chaos when Captain America went rogue to save Bucky? While the Avengers have typically been a force for good, their immense power can be challenging to manage—something Valentina wants to rectify.
She seeks a controllable superweapon. The creation of Sentry could provide her with the leverage she desires. However, from the clips we’ve seen, it’s clear that her plans may have backfired.
Is Sentry Going to Replace The Avengers?

Without a doubt, Sentry is one of the most powerful entities in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Thunderbolts recognize this. Valentina’s introduction of Sentry as a potential substitute for the Avengers may hint at a brief hero phase for him. However, expect his character to be overtaken by The Void, turning him into a significant threat.
This is where the Thunderbolts come into play. Remember in Captain America: Brave New World how Bucky becomes a congressman? How does he rejoin the fight? I believe The Void could take over New York City, prompting Bucky to rally the Thunderbolts to save it.
To answer the burning question: Sentry will indeed replace the Avengers temporarily, but as per rumors from the Thunderbolts post-credit scene, the real successors may well be The New Avengers.
With all this speculation swirling, it’s worth staying tuned to see how much of this theory holds true. Until then, keep exploring the depths of the Marvel Universe with us at Moyens I/O!
