‘Thunderbolts*’ is already in Cinemas, and the new Marvel movie is being very well received by the public. The vast majority agrees to highlight their script, their group chemistry and its emotional load, with special mention The outstanding interpretation of Florence Pugh, who carries almost the entire weight of the film on his shoulders.
However, there is another distribution member who is monopolizing the conversation, becoming the great revelation of the film: Lewis Pullman. The actor, son of Bill Pullman (if you did not know, now you will not be able to avoid observing the similarity every time you see it on the screen), it is being qualified as One of the largest casting successes of the recent Marvel; Which is funny, because it was not the first option for paper.
Recall that, before Pullman was made with the coveted role of Bob, better known in comics such as Vigía (Sentry) and his Dark Alter Ego The Void (the void) Marvel had signed Steven Yeun to play the character. However, the ‘anger’ actor had to leave the project for agenda conflicts accentuated by Hollywood strikes of 2023.
Kevin Feige’s study soon found his substitute and Pullman joined the project to give life to Bob, with which he is conquering the public. His work in the Jake Schreier movie by building a complex and nuanced antagonist is awakening many praise, and that His return to ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is guaranteed is good news for all those who have fallen to Sentry’s feet.
The next great event of the Avengers, who run the Russo brothers on their return to Marvel, has already begun its filming in London, and their arrival at theaters will occur on May 1, 2026. Meanwhile, meanwhile, If you have also made a fan of Lewis Pullman thanks to ‘Thunderbolts*’ and you want to meet him betteryou can make time until then watching these series and movies that we recommend (at the end of the article you can find on which platforms they are available).
We started with ‘Bad times in the Royale’, the film for which many met him. In this twisted mystery thriller directed by Drew Goddard, seven strangers, each with a secret, are in a ruinous hotel with a dark past. Pullman, however, does not play one of the enigmatic guests, but to the El Royale buttons. His role, although small, served for many to look at him, And also for many to think “how this boy looks like Tom Holland”.
Pullman debuted in the cinema in 2017 with ‘The Ballad of Lefty Brown’, and did it by the best possible godfather: his father, Bill Pullman, who heads the cast of this Western of Jared Moshe. It was followed by other secondary roles in ‘A story of revenge’, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, ‘Lean on Pete’ and ‘The battle of the sexes’. And terror fans may recognize him for ‘The strangers. Night hunt ‘, sequel where he plays the teenage son of the protagonist family.
However, his career did not take off. But then Tom Cruise arrived, who was responsible for giving him the necessary impulse by adding him to the distribution of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’. Interestingly, his character in the film is also called Bob, one of the young drivers of the Top Gun program. Although his role is lower, the huge box office success of the sequel gave him his greatest exhibition platform to date, so it is very possible that the majority sound his face to have seen it there. As a curiosity, in ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ he met Danny Ramírez, who currently plays the new Falcon in the UCM. Working together they became best friends and both will coincide again in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’.
After the push of ‘Top Gun’, 2023 was one of his most prolific years, especially standing out with ‘The Starling Girl’, Laurel Parmet drama about a fundamentalist Christian community in which Pullman undertakes a rather complicated character, leaving more than airy of the challenge. Sadly, the film is not available on any platform, but point it in case it appears at any time, because it is worth it.
His steps in the series
And so, among the occasional title released without penalty or glory that we are not going to mention, we reach 2024, the year in which he decided to take advantage of streaming opportunities. Until that time, Pullman had only starred in a series, ‘Trap 22’, but soon he would add two more: ‘Outer Range’, neo-Western science fiction in which he plays the son of the owner of a ranch played by Josh Brolin, and ‘cooking with chemistry’, miniseries of Apple TV+ starring Brie Larson (another future companion of Marvel), Where Calvin Evans embodies, his best character and interpretation until we met Bob.
The series, based on the novel by Bonnie Garmus, follows the peculiar and extraordinary chemistry Elizabeth Zott (Larson), which in the face of difficulties of advancing in her field as a woman, begins to present her own cooking program in the United States of the 60s. Together, Pullman and Larson give us one of the most beautiful and moving relationships that we have seen recently on television. We warn that the series hurts, but you have to see it.
Finally, you may be interested in taking a look at ‘The mystery of Salem’s Lot’, a new film -shaped adaptation of Stephen King’s popular novel. Pullman returns to terror leading the cast as Ben Mears, a writer in search of inspiration who returns to the town where he grew up, Jerusalem’s Lot, where he discovers that the place is being threatened by a thirsty vampire of blood.
And so far the Lewis Pullman cycle. After ‘Thunderbolts*’, there are three films pending premiere on his calendar, ‘Thelma’, ‘Remarkby Bright Creatures’ and ‘Ann Lee’. But after meeting Bob/Vigía, one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel universe, it is clear that what wakes up most expectation is his next appearance in the saga. Sentry has come to stay and something tells us that he will become one of the new favorite characters of the audience. If he has not already done it.
