Lewis Pullman needs to pay more attention to his emails “I got back to my phone and I had all these texts It was such a massive amount of possibilities that lie within that piece of information,” Pullman he had a hard time believing he was joining the MCU in the first place “It does feel like a little bit of this untouchable world I just kept waiting for somebody to announce that they had made some grand error Join our Watch Party!  Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox He does have a dark side to those abilities which is explored alongside his character’s new teammates Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) The son of longtime Hollywood star Bill Pullman is no stranger to big-time franchises: He played Bob – the same name as his Marvel dude – opposite Tom Cruise in “Top Gun: Maverick,” part of a growing filmography that also includes “Salem’s Lot” and the drama series “Lessons in Chemistry” (which garnered Pullman an Emmy nomination) Here’s what fans need to know about Marvel’s newest rookie: The movie reveals that Bob is a troubled meth addict who signed up to be experimented on by CIA director Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and become a super soldier he winds up teaming with the Thunderbolts but is later turned into the Sentry with a cape and supersuit to match his Superman-like powers Another aspect of Bob is revealed as The Void a dark and colorless figure that’s a manifestation of his inner trauma “Everyone has these sort of shadow selves that sometimes if you don't have the language to harness or control or know when it's OK to exist with them can bleed out in dangerous ways,” Pullman says “The Void is in many ways a mirror that we often hide from And then to be forced to look at it is really informative if you can sit through it.” Playing the character meant having “sort of like three jobs,” he adds and Pullman felt self-doubt going into “Thunderbolts.” Thankfully and she just really subtly would give me a little piece of advice that was actually massive for me.” Pullman was raised in a “very creative” family – in addition to his “Independence Day” dad mom Tamara Hurwitz is a modern dancer and choreographer and brother Jack designs masks and puppets – and his parents instilled in him “the idea that you don't have to choose one thing,” he says Acting "allows you to continue learning things that you would never really choose to do,” Pullman says “I've become incredibly mediocre at so many different things from having a month or two of training whether it be roping or rowing or paddle boarding It pushes you to explore certain cavernous areas of yourself that normally you would neglect.” he came home for the first time in two months and immediately sat at his drum set for three hours “It's an amazing way to keep an even air flow throughout your creative avenues by continually shaking up the Etch A Sketch,” he says It might happen in new ‘Avengers’Next up for Pullman is the historical drama musical “Ann Lee,” starring Amanda Seyfried and he just finished production on Netflix’s “Remarkably Bright Creatures,” an adaptation of the Shelby Van Pelt novel featuring Sally Field and a giant octopus Pullman doesn’t have a start date yet for “Doomsday,” which is filming in London The night he was announced for the new “Avengers,” “I couldn't fall asleep just imagining all the different avenues and possibilities that Bob could kind of go down,” Pullman says The cast is “an embarrassment of riches,” and he’s hoping to at least do one scene with Robert Downey Jr as Doctor Doom: “Iron Man” is “really how I fell in love with Marvel so that would be a wild full circle moment for me.” Lewis Pullman earned an Emmy nomination for his work in Lessons in Chemistry but the actor puts himself on the map in a big way with Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts* His performance as Bob/The Sentry/The Void is superb and the movie leaves the character in an interesting place when the credits roll he manages to overcome the darkness within but appears to have no memory of his journey through The Void in a post-credits scene set 14 months later Bob is staying with the New Avengers and acknowledges that he can't risk transforming into The Sentry without potentially also unleashing The Void Pullman was asked about The Sentry's power set and where he ranks among the rest of Earth's Mightiest Heroes...as Earth's new Mightiest Hero "I think it's almost a topic that hasn't really been breached as much as you would think," the actor said "It's sort of a 'When we get there we'll talk about it' kinda situation I'm so curious to see what his future holds and there's a lot of erasing memories in order to allow the continuation of Marvel." as the Thunderbolts go to confront Valentina Allegra de Fontaine there was originally a moment that alluded to Bob remembering more of what happened in The Void than he let on to the team "There was a line that was cut...I say to Yelena or do all of you just punch and shoot?' She looks at me like do you know that you're referencing something you experienced Do you actually remember something?' I think we took that out because we could sell it without something so on the nose There are slivers of memory peeking through." The Sentry actor also reflected on shooting the big moment where Val announces the Thunderbolts as the "New Avengers" to the world "It was an interesting thing to shoot that sequence where they all get applauded at the end because we were like 'Does Bob stand there and does he receive the applause or does he step aside and applause with everybody?'" "We all agreed that it made more sense," Pullman continued "and we didn't know what the future held for Bob they're not talking about me.' It's an interesting thing to tiptoe around "We had to shoot that two different ways because we had so many background actors who were there We shot it where Valentina said 'the Thunderbolts,' and then they all left and she said her actual line with a locked and sealed Bob will return in Avengers: Doomsday alongside his fellow New Avengers but Pullman is currently in the dark when it comes to his MCU future "The only thing that I've read is what we've shot already which is technically the teaser at the end of Thunderbolts*," the Top Gun: Maverick star confirmed All I know is that Bob is in a state of idle hibernation." "I think the Thunderbolts don't want to let him go because they don't know what kind of havoc he'll wreak but they also want to keep him in case they might have a use for him in the future." The Sentry is bound to take on Doctor Doom though there's a risk that Bob will be used as a way of showing how powerful the villain is rather than keeping him a major player heading into Avengers: Secret Wars given the positive response to Bob and how complex a character he is we're sure the Rssos have something exciting planned for the Golden Guardian You can watch the full interview with Pullman below Pullman opened up about his father’s legacy in a new interview shedding light on “what is so undeniably fortunate about nepotism” Whitby/Getty; Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection/Getty Thunderbolts*’ Lewis Pullman shared insight into how nepotism has positively affected his career journey as the son of Bill Pullman who has starred in films like Independence Day Lewis Pullman believes his famous father isn't his only superpower The Marvel star—who is the son of Bill Pullman and Tamara Hurwitz—shared that having a famous parent has taught him “lessons and tricks of the trade” that have helped him to land his latest role in the forthcoming film Thunderbolts* “I think that’s what is so undeniably fortunate about nepotism,” Lewis told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published May 2 “What’s the hardest to get is the opportunity to get experience and to find your comfortability within a very bizarre circumstance.” And that included feeling free to express himself on screen “It took me so long to get comfortable in front of a camera and to forget that it’s there and I wouldn’t have gotten that if I didn’t get all these chances to do so.” a major part of his journey has been learning that he doesn’t need to be exactly like his dad Bill—who has appeared in films such as Independence Day and While You Were Sleeping—as he noted it's a "hard reputation to follow." "I felt a lot of pressure to fill his shoes," he said "Once I realized that it was an impossible pair of shoes to fill I kind of found a sense of relief in knowing that if there was any future for me in film that it would be by doing it my own way and trying to blaze my own trail." I can find my own voice and my own thing,' and gave myself permission to do that." However, when asked about a potential love interest at the film's premiere on April 28, Lewis kept it coy, telling Entertainment Tonight I found it to be incredibly annoying and boring," the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson said on the Feb 2024 episode of Today about the "Nepo Baby" debate Calling the issue "lame," the Fifty Shades of Grey star added "So the opportunity to make fun of it I jumped at"—referring to an SNL sketch poking fun at the controversy that she took part the previous month while hosting the show A reminder that this conversation has been going on for awhile, Emma was early in pushing back against the notion that being Julia Roberts' niece (and Eric Roberts' daughter) was the key to her career "A lot of people think that," the Scream 4 actress, then 20, told PopEater in 2011 "and they talk about nepotism which I think is so ridiculous considering it's obviously not true—because I've auditioned for so many things and never gotten the part but they can't really get you 10 parts." Goldie Hawn's daughter doesn't bother to get the knives out when talk turns to nepotism "I don't really care," Kate, who was also raised by Goldie's longtime partner Kurt Russell, told The Independent in December 2022 “I look at my kids and we're a storytelling family The mom to sons Ryder and Bingham (with Chris Robinson and Matthew Bellamy respectively) and daughter Rani (with current partner Danny Fujikawa) explained "I actually think there are other industries where it's [more common] I see it in business way more than I see it in Hollywood Sometimes I've been in business meetings where I’m like "Even if it's just the fact that I have a really great source of information and someone to give me great advice that alone I feel very fortunate for." "No artist is going to sacrifice their vision for someone's kid and what I'm interested in is art." "No one wants to work with someone who's annoying but I think if it actually was what people make it out to be but there is some sort of association of not earning something that I think bothered me at a very young age The son of showbiz fixtures Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller believes that a foot in the door will only get you so far Responding to a nepotism dig at Hopper (Sean's son) Penn who had been cast in a short film being directed by Destry (Steven's daughter) Spielberg and written by Owen (Stephen's son) King I would bet they all have faced challenges Different than those with no access to the industry Agreeing during the exchange that Hollywood wasn't a fair playing field for a number of reasons "I'm saying that untalented people don't really last if they get a break because of who they are or know or are related to." “I can see being really pissed that I got this role, as someone else," Dylan told W after dad Sean Penn directed her in the 2021 drama Flag Day as a working actress "I've been auditioning forever Regarding the kerfuffle over her brother starring in a Spielberg-daughter-directed short Whether you're the son of Sean Penn or not." Hopper, who made his movie debut in Sean's film The Last Face, told E! News in February that the nepo baby conversation didn't really affect him "I'm like, 'If you like it, cool. If you don't, great,'" he explained, having just made Devil's Peak with mom Robin Wright "And if you think that there's nepotism going on I really don't care because I'm gonna do the work just as professional as everybody else and I'm not gonna come there and do it half-ass because I'm working with my dad was the same "great nightmare" for him as it was for all the other actors who weren't related to the director "if I messed up on the film the first day I'm not going to pretend like it didn't help me get into the room I was putting on performances in my grandparents' house And it had nothing to do with who my family was After the subject blew up, the actress told GQ months later it was "completely normal for people to be in the family business." Furthermore "It's literally where last names came from "People are going to have preconceived ideas about you or how you got there," the daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis told Elle in a November 2022 interview "and I can definitely say that nothing is going to get you the part except for being right for the part."  Fair enough, but The Idol star's comment on the resurgent hot topic promptly launched a thousand other comments "I'm so careful about these conversations now," Lily-Rose told i-D a few months later "I feel like my parents did the best job that they possibly could at giving me the most ‘normal childhood' that they could I'm super aware of the fact that my childhood did not look like everybody's." Responding to the discourse triggered by Lily-Rose, Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin's daughter agreed that the kids of celebs will ultimately rise and fall on the strength of their own work But the first rise is usually achieved thanks to a major boost "I wouldn't be where I am, I wouldn't have gotten where I am and been able to do what I can do if it weren't for my parents, and I think really where you go wrong is denying that," Ireland said in a November 2022 TikTok She got that "either you're talented either you're capable or you're not." But "things could be a lot more simple and understandable and relatable if you just are honest about what you have and why you have what you have." I really do feel that once your foot is in the door then you almost have to work twice as hard and be twice as good." Bruce opened the door, directing Gwyneth in the 1989 TV movie High, her acting debut, and Steven Spielberg sprinkled pixie dust on it casting his 14-year-old goddaughter in the 1991 Peter Pan fantasy Hook And that was before the debate was raging. "Now there’s this whole 'nepo baby' culture and judgment that exists around kids of famous people," Gwyneth told Bustle in October 2023 calling the term "kind of an ugly moniker." Growing up with a national treasure-level star for a father the actress and activist was acutely aware that her childhood was not normal "When I was 10, we moved to the East Coast, and suddenly I realized, because of how I was treated, that there was something special about me," Jane told Harvard Business Review in 2018 Some people wanted to be my friend because my father was Henry Fonda; some people didn’t like me because my father was Henry Fonda "When I became an actress," the two-time Oscar winner continued "the fact that my father was a movie star was an advantage—no question—because people paid more attention to me than they would have if I were just another actress I wanted to be sure that I wasn’t getting parts because I was Henry Fonda’s daughter so no one could say I was a dilettante." "It's a privilege for that person to have success in their own right But there was no greater privilege than the fact that my dad was supportive of me and showed me respect—real respect—from day one." "insecurities can creep up or you'll hear somebody say or Z.' But that's very small." "Put simply, I’m a nepo dad!" Ethan, who shares Maya with ex-wife Uma Thurman, cracked to Variety in September about jumping at the chance to direct his daughter in Wildcat "And I'm not embarrassed about it." who plays writer Flannery O'Connor in the film "I had moments of insecurity about it while we were shooting the movie But the internet doesn’t have a lot of nuances The 25-year-old had previously noted that she could only go so far as her parents' kid "I think I'll get a couple chances on their name and then if I suck I'll get kicked out of the kingdom," Maya told People in 2021 So I'm just going to try not to suck."  Not long before she won her first Oscar for her supporting turn in Everything Everywhere All At Once the daughter of late screen legends Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh was happy to crack a joke at the zeitgeist's expense "My parents were actors and I married an actor," Jamie Lee, whose husband is Christopher Guest, said while accepting her SAG Award in February 2023 "I know you'll look at me and think That's why she's there'— and I totally get it I'm 64 years old and this is just amazing." "When I was starting off, I was sort of lovingly naïve, thinking that it wasn't as big a deal as it is, that I would get the benefit of the doubt that I was my own person," Colin said of being Tom Hanks' kid on Armchair Expert in 2018 whose first movie role was "Male Page" in his dad's 1996 directorial debut That Thing You Do! said on Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend in October 2022 that he does "credit the old man" for advising him to only go into acting if he really wanted to "'If you don't really want this 'cause you will be miserable.'" Asked about the renewed focus on actors' actor kids, Tom—dad to Colin and daughter Elizabeth with late ex-wife Samantha Lewes and sons Chet and Truman with current spouse Rita Wilson—described showbiz as simply "the family business." "This is what we've been doing forever," Tom told Reuters in January 2023 "It's what all of our kids grew up in they're all involved in some brand of storytelling." He also acknowledged it wasn't a stretch for director Marc Forster to cast Truman as Tom's younger self in A Man Called Otto. "But the final analysis," the Oscar winner told ET at the film's premiere "is the person has to show up on the day and hit the marks and tell the truth A scion of one of the most storied Hollywood dynasties Drew couldn't escape her famous last name But while being screen legend John Barrymore's granddaughter carried some weight the Never Been Kissed star put it this way on her talk show in January 2023: "If you came from a family of lawyers her dad runs the firm,' it's like she still took the bar and got here of her own volition.' So as long as we’re not catty about it and celebratory of it Heidi Klum's eldest child is perfectly fine that she's in thanks to her supermodel mom and dad Seal and I know that people would dream to start off with what I had...But I am doing the work and putting in the time My mom and I just have the same love for the same thing." Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann's firstborn daughter was admittedly saddened by the nepo baby tag but she was trying not to let it get to her "A lot of people [in similar situations] have proven themselves over the years, so I've got to keep going and make good work," the Euphoria star told Net-a-Porter for a September 2022 article but hopefully one day I'll be really proud of the stuff I've done by myself." "The nepo babies y'all should be worrying about are the ones working for legal firms, the ones working for banks, and the ones working in politics, If we’re talking about real world consequences and robbing people of opportunity," Allen, standing up for how hard she'd worked to get where she was "BUT that’s none of my business." In response to the inevitable backlash reminding the singer—whose parents are actor Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen—that TikTok was focusing on entertainment nepo babies Lily acknowledged that was a valid conversation "It is quite clear that there is a severe lack of representation in the industry where class and race are concerned," she wrote on X "Everyone loses as a result...I do feel that nepo babies are being somewhat scapegoated here though societal conversation to be had about wealth inequality The daughter of late Sen. John McCain and Cindy McCain is of the view that there's no shame in having accomplished parents. But you gotta own it "To my fellow 'Nepo babies'—just acknowledge your privilege the opportunities your last name has gotten you and move on," she offered on Instagram Stories in December 2022 "At some point talent and grit comes into play but let's stop acting like this is in anyway a rational burden that people know who [our] parents are—you sound like a--holes." Need Stephen Baldwin's daughter (and niece of Alec, Billy and Daniel) say more than her January 2023 "Nepo Baby" tee? "It was more so to be like, 'This is what everyone is saying and I want you to know that this is my way of responding to it,'" Hailey said in June, explaining her purposely "overly literal" message on The Circuit With Emily Chang "He's more of a natural than I'll ever be." Meg added, "That nepo stuff is so dismissive of his work ethic and how sensitive he is to the idea of his privilege." Jack is certainly aware of the assumptions that are made about the children of actors "I knew that people would constantly say, 'Oh, I know how he got that job,'" The Boys star told Thrillist in 2022 "And they're still going to say that Now 31, Jack decided long ago there was no point trying to hide his parentage "It's not that I want to escape from it," he said on Allegedly with Matthew Cole Weiss in 2016 "I'm a huge fan of both of their work." Noting that he wasn't allowed to start auditioning until he was 18 "If I had just parents that weren't actors I would still be over the moon to have this job." Marvel Studios has yet to share an official image of Sentry in-costume but we do have a (very) brief glimpse of Lewis Pullman suited-up as the Golden Guardian via some new behind-the-scenes Thunderbolts* footage The clip is literally only a second or two long (more of a GIF but this does count as our first non-leaked look at the Top Gun: Maverick actor with his blond locks and comic book-inspired outfit Pullman only wears the costume for a few scenes in the movie as he is taken over by his shadowy entity known as "The Void" when Val's assistant Mel hits a kill switch that was supposed to put him down for good 1 spot at the domestic box office this weekend with a $31.5 million gross across Friday and preview screenings from 4,330 theaters This puts the antihero team-up film on track for a $70 million and $75 million debut but the movie will need plenty of positive word of mouth if it hopes to keep filling seats over the next few weeks Thunderbolts* is currently sitting at 88% on Rotten Tomatoes with 255 reviews counted Check out the Sentry footage along with a new poster at the links below New look at Lewis Pullman as Sentry on the set of ‘THUNDERBOLTS*.’pic.twitter.com/RCUCUmLis7 Have you seen the movie yet?

"Kept thinking about how the movie wouldn’t have worked if Bob wasn’t played so well," echoed someone else "He had me wanting to cry at a few points and I just wanted to give him a hug." "I don’t know that there’s ever been such a win before where a production delay accidentally resulted in superior casting via replacement," another fan wrote but I can’t imagine him delivering anything near the same performance Part of what made it work so well is that Pullman looks young and childlike but he’s also not passing as late 20s." "It's kind of like breaking open a whole new room and now I get to figure out what I do with that space."

"I think Bob really has a journey of believing in himself and believing that he is of worth and that he actually is in control of things," the actor continued I think that was the more challenging part to kind of take the leap towards." that reflected my whole experience of being part of a Marvel movie....convincing myself every morning [that] I should be here and I could do this The first reviews for Thunderbolts* have been extremely positive and current projections point to a debut of $160 million - $175 million at the worldwide box office You can take a closer look at the MCU's Sentry in the Reddit post below Marvel Studios assembles an unconventional team of antiheroes - Yelena Belova The cast of Thunderbolts* will be led by Florence Pugh as Yelena Boleva Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine Thunderbolts* is currently set to be released in theaters on May 2 his character wouldn't have been called "Bob" at all It's simple - he just played a different guy named Bob in Top Gun: Maverick and didn't want to repeat himself by portraying a second Bob so quickly and the reason why all comes down to comic book canon as Sentry's secret identity is indeed Robert 'Bob' Reynolds I'm gonna be playing another Bob' and now I've grown to love it." Pullman's suggestion for an alternate name wasn't so far afield 'Can we call him Robert?' I didn't have anything that crazy," the actor explains leaving Pullman with a pair of Bobs under his belt and this is actually just one big campaign for me to play live-action Bob the Builder George MarstonSocial Links NavigationI've been Newsarama's resident Marvel Comics expert and general comic book historian since 2011 I've also been the on-site reporter at most major comic conventions such as Comic-Con International: San Diego The acclaimed writer of His Dark Materials says the third volume in The Book of Dust series will portray a ‘dangerous Philip Pullman has revealed he will tell the final part of Lyra Silvertongue’s story in The Rose Field “Their quests converge in the most dangerous, breathtaking and world-changing ways,” reads the publisher’s description of The Rose Field. “They must take help from spies and thieves, gryphons and witches, old friends and new”. Pullman said he thinks of the forthcoming book “as partly a thriller and partly a bildungsroman: a story of psychological, moral and emotional growth. But it’s also a vision. Lyra’s world is changing, just as ours is. The power over people’s lives once held by old institutions and governments is seeping away and reappearing in another form: that of money, capital, development, commerce, exchange.” Above all, though, Pullman hopes “that fundamentally and permanently The Rose Field will be read as a story”. “I think of myself a storyteller rather than a novelist or a writer of literary fiction, belonging among the tellers of folk tales, fairytales, ballads and myths,” he said.

Was he trying to save his daughter with his own technology or was he using his daughter’s tragedy as a means to an end who found the Red Dust (the synthetic gas that can control assassins like the Black Widows) Taskmaster herself is freed after inhaling the Red Dust and becomes an assassin for Valentina Valentina then double-crosses her by sending her on a mission that she hopes will lead to Taskmaster getting killed by Ghost Get relevant content delivered to you once a week Ready to dive in Select your preferences and get ready for an experience tailored just for you *by clicking Subscribe you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy Funeral services will be held at 10:00 AM on Tuesday at Vandemore Funeral Home & Crematory-Geneseo Chapel with Pastor Barry WynVeen officiating Burial will follow at Oakwood Cemetery in Geneseo Visitation will be held from 5:00-7:00 PM on Monday memorials may be directed to Henry County Humane Society – Geneseo or the First Presbyterian Church – Geneseo the daughter of Maurice and Phyllis (McHenry) Lewis in Geneseo She graduated from Geneseo High School in 1958 and went on to complete 9 months of personnel training in Omaha Judy was employed as a secretary for Farm Services at the Rock Island Arsenal Corp of Engineers She also worked at the Moline YMCA and then Hutchinson Farm Management for over 30 years before retiring Judy was a member of the First Presbyterian Church going to breakfast with the Cornwall group of ladies going for a good piece of pie and especially watching the birds and squirrels out her window Those left to cherish her memory include her children; Duane (Laura) Plumley and Janeen (Jamie) Brady; grandson Jacob Brady Bridget (John) Johnson and their son Jordan Johnson Margo Pullman and Catherine Pullman; and step grandchildren The Sentry's comic book history is incredibly convoluted and while fans have long hoped to see Robert Reynolds in the MCU the character isn't necessarily the simplest to bring to the big screen and the power of a million exploding suns...and he's about to take on Bucky Barnes and company in Thunderbolts* Invincible star Steven Yeun was originally cast as the character though scheduling issues led to him being replaced by Top Gun: Maverick's Lewis Pullman The trailers have confirmed that "Bob" will be depicted in both his Sentry and Void forms the character is bound to be a game-changer when the Multiverse's Mightiest Heroes assemble to battle Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday (Pullman is among those confirmed for the movie) Talking to Screen Rant the actor was asked whether knowing The Sentry's story will continue next year changes how he thought about his Thunderbolts* role And I'm really curious to see how," the actor said he's such an intricate character because in many ways his biggest Achilles Heel is himself so what does the future look like for a guy like that with that much power "But now we also know that he has this help with the Thunderbolts* where there's some sort of ability to control it or some sort of safety net there," Pullman teased I'm curious to see what that might look like." the Thunderbolts will help Bob control his powers after battling The Void That could be crucial when the Multiverse is at stake though we wouldn't be surprised if Marvel Studios finds a way to somewhat nerf his Superman-like abilities If you'd like to learn more about how The Sentry will likely factor into Avengers: Doomsday, you can read our Thunderbolts* spoiler breakdown by clicking here "Being a hero, there is no higher calling" ⚡️ Marvel Studios’ #Thunderbolts* is only in theaters Friday.
