“Now, I’ve got a potential scoop here from someone, who’s been fairly reliable in the past. I spoke to somebody at Marvel – not a higher up necessarily – and this is the quote that they sent me: ‘We don’t even know who he’s playing, but my guess is Sentry, since there’s been whispers of that casting circulating a bit.’ So, he’s going to be in the Thunderbolts as Sentry, potentially… That’s what somebody’s telling me who heard from somebody else.”
Moreover, @CanWeGetToast recently tweeted“So it looks like it’s NOT an ‘if’.”This tweet was in response to his earlier tweet about wishing Yeun’s hair would change color like a Super Saiyan when he powers up as Sentry.
“IF Steven Yeun is #Sentry, I hope his hair stays black and turns blonde when he powers up. Our first live action Super Saiyan could be him “
So it looks like it’s NOT an “If”. 👀
Now I REALLY want a Super Saiyan power up sequence for him.https://t.co/UuGypLzT5t
