‘Thunderbolts*’ Trailer Gives us a First Glimpse of Sentry’s Watchtower
The ‘Thunderbolts*’ trailer was recently released. Although leaks and clips have been online since it was shown at the D23 event, we now have a good look at the hints and characters that will appear.
‘Thunderbolts*’ will bring the MCU’s version of the Suicide Squad into the wider universe, and it will also introduce one of the most powerful characters in Marvel Comics—Sentry.
Recently, we’ve covered one interesting theory that claims that Sentry will be a manufactured superhero in the MCU. This is mostly due to his “blueprints” that can be visible in one of the scenes.
If you look closely, at the trailer you can see how there are several available options to “customize” Sentry’s hair and belt buckle, probably even more stuff will be included in the movie but was not shown in the trailer.
The trailer also gave us our first look at blueprints titled “The Watchtower” and that is almost certainly a reference to Sentry’s Watchtower from the comics.
The Watchtower served as the home and headquarters of Sentry, located in midtown Manhattan near Columbus Circle. It was a tall structure topped with a large golden sphere and had black crossing fins.
An artificial intelligence named CLOC managed the Watchtower, monitoring global communications and alerting Sentry to major emergencies.
When Sentry was defeated by his arch-nemesis, the General, he used his powers to make everyone on Earth forget about him, causing the Watchtower to be “ignored” and effectively disappear for decades.
Later, Tony Stark decided to build a new office tower and unknowingly chose the Watchtower’s location. As a result, the Watchtower became integrated into Stark Tower, remaining unnoticed due to Sentry’s powers. Initially, Stark Tower was home to the New Avengers, who eventually recruited Sentry. Once they broke through his mental blocks, the Watchtower “reappeared,” surprising many in Manhattan.
All hints and clues lead us to believe that Sentry’s Watchtower will be created out former Avengers Tower.
‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ revealed that Tony Stark was planning to sell Avengers Tower, with Happy Hogan overseeing the relocation of equipment while the Vulture tried to steal it.
In ‘Spider-Man: Far For Home’ it can be seen that the building is undergoing renovations. In the ‘Thunderbolts*’ trailer, the new team in the MCU can be seen gathering in what appears to be a remodeled Avengers Tower. Since Thunderbolts answer to Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, fans correctly guessed that she was behind the purchase of the tower.
The question of who bought the Avengers Tower was long active in the community, and now at least we know what’s going to happen to it if our theory proves correct that the Watchtower will be created out of Avengers Tower.
