Marvel Releases 'THUNDERBOLTS' Trailer, Reveals Villain Sentry Poses a Greater Threat

Kapanlagi.com - After long speculation, Marvel Studios has finally released the latest trailer for THUNDERBOLTS during the Super Bowl 2025 event. The 2 minute and 24 second trailer quickly became a hot topic among Marvel fans, especially as it confirmed the presence of Sentry as the main villain. However, what was surprising was the other, more terrifying figure, The Void.

In the footage, it is seen that the THUNDERBOLTS team, consisting of Bucky Barnes, Yelena Belova, Red Guardian, John Walker, Ghost, and Taskmaster, is preparing to face a new threat. However, the presence of The Void changes everything. With destructive power, The Void brings darkness that engulfs the city, showing that this team is facing an enemy far stronger than they imagined.

So, who exactly is The Void? Why is Sentry part of this threat? Check out the complete review below.

1. THUNDERBOLTS Trailer Opens with a Major Decision by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine

In the beginning of the trailer, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine is seen at a hearing and makes one shocking statement: "The Avengers are not coming." This sentence indicates that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is experiencing a shortage of superheroes who can protect the world from major threats.

In response, Val then forms the Thunderbolts team, which consists of characters with anti-hero backgrounds. They are expected to replace the Avengers in facing the crisis. However, can this team truly handle the impending threat?

2. Sentry Confirmed as Villain, But Not the Real Enemy

The trailer finally reveals that Robert "Bob" Reynolds aka Sentry, played by Lewis Pullman, will be part of this film. Since the first teaser was released, there has been much speculation about Sentry's role, and it is now confirmed that he will be the main antagonist for the Thunderbolts.

However, it is important to note that the real threat is not just Sentry, but his dark alter ego, The Void. In the comics, The Void is an evil entity that arises from Sentry's mental instability after consuming the Golden Sentry Serum. This gives him two sides: one as a hero, and the other as a destroyer.

3. The Void Appears in the Skies of New York, Bringing a Threatening Darkness

In one of the trailer scenes, a black shadow can be seen swiftly hovering in the skies of New York. Fans immediately speculate that it is not just Sentry, but The Void that has taken over his body. The city begins to be engulfed by the darkness emanating from the evil powers of The Void.

Based on observations in the trailer, The Void seems capable of turning humans into shadows and swallowing the light around it. This indicates that its power is far more terrifying than that possessed by Sentry himself. If in the comics The Void has killed millions in a single strike, will the same happen in this film?

4. Thunderbolts Do Not Have the Power to Fight The Void

One of the interesting moments in the trailer is when Yelena Belova says, "We can't fly, we can only punch and shoot." This line highlights the limitations of the Thunderbolts team in facing threats on the level of Sentry and The Void.

Compared to MCU heroes like Thor or Captain Marvel, the members of Thunderbolts are just ordinary humans with fighting skills and technology. This makes them seem to have little chance of defeating a creature as powerful as The Void.

5. Valentina's Plans Remain a Mystery, What Is Her Motivation for Forming This Team?

One of the big questions that arises from the trailer is the real reason Valentina formed this team. Does she really want to protect the world, or is there a hidden agenda that has yet to be revealed?

From several previous films, Valentina is known as a character full of intrigue who often operates in the gray area between good and evil. By forming a team of anti-heroes, it is not impossible that she has other goals that are unknown to the Thunderbolts members themselves.

6. Who is The Void in Thunderbolts?

The Void is the dark side of Sentry, which emerges due to the mental instability of Robert Reynolds. He possesses incredible destructive power and is the embodiment of all the evil within him.
