Bounding Into Comics Reports: Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Dead and Invincible recently claimed that actor Steven Yuen will play Sentry in an upcoming Marvel Studios film.

While responding to a question from a viewer on a livestream with artist David Finch about the Sentry Kirkman stated, “My good friend Steven Yuen is playing the Sentry in a movie.”

He elaborated, “He called me. He went in for a costume fitting. I don’t think this is a spoiler or anything that’ll get anybody in trouble. I don’t know, maybe, we’ll see. I don’t care. I don’t work for Marvel. What are they going to do to me? He called me. He said, ‘I just came back from a costume fitting for the Sentry. I guess I only do superheroes that are yellow and blue.'”

Kirkman added, “He said he was at the costume fitting and was like, ‘Ah crap! I forgot Invincible was yellow and blue!'”

It was rumored back in February that Yuen would play Sentry. The Weekly Planet podcast co-host James Clement claimed, “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,” Clement added. “That’s what somebody’s telling me who heard from somebody else.”
