Sentry would be an interesting character to introduce, as he’s basically a living retcon. Designed in the 1990s, he was inserted into older stories going back to the 1940s, accompanied by varying art styles.

These stories were retold with Sentry at their centre, before a cataclysmic event caused everyone, including Sentry himself, to forget he had ever been involved with the Avengers.

It wasn’t really until Brian Michael Bendis took control of the character in 2005 that the darkness of this was explored though. Sentry is overweight and depressed when he manages to remember who he once was.

He talks to the other heroes and their memories come back too, but this also unearths the reason they forgot. The Void, an evil and almost invulnerable force, turns out to be Sentry himself. This sinister split personality angle can tell a hugely effective story if it’s done with the right amount of nuance.

Ehrenreich didn’t exactly set the world alight as Han Solo, but everyone deserves a second chance. He was excellent in his Hail, Caesar! supporting role, and is probably good for one more shot at the big time.
