With Steven Yeun dropping out of Marvel’s Thunderbolts movie, the studio is looking to replace him, and according to a couple of Hollywood insiders, an offer has been made to Euphoria actor Austin Abrams. If he accepts the role, he will take on the role of The Sentry.
The duel movie scoop comes from r/DCULeaks and Daniel Richtman, who says: “In collaboration with @DanielRPK, we can report that Austin Abrams has the current offer for Sentry in ‘THUNDERBOLTS’.”
Abrams, also appeared in the Guillermo del Toro-produced horror film, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. It was previously reported that The Sentry will be part of Val’s Thunderbolts team and will be involved for the first two acts before “something rips him away from them.”

Then there’s Harrison Ford, who is taking on the role of General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross who is going to be President of the United States in Captain America: New World Order. Ayo Edebiri also joined the cast in an undisclosed role.
