Mark Wahlberg could be a fair choice for the role of The Sentry in MCU.

SUMMARY

Following Henry Cavill’s unfortunate DC exit, the English actor made headlines for an alleged MCU debut as Captain Britain.
But with Henry Cavill gone off the radar, we believe Mark Wahlberg could be next in line to make his Marvel debut.

With Steven Yeun’s reported departure from his role as The Sentry, Mark Wahlberg is our choice of an actor better suited for the role.

Following Henry Cavill’s unfortunate DC exit, the English actor made headlines for an alleged MCU debut as Captain Britain. The rumors first surfaced after a fanart went viral on social media. But following that, the actor started making repeated headlines as he was fancast in several Superman-like Marvel heroes. Cavill even made rumors after BossLogic’s artwork reimagined him as The Sentry.

However, with Henry Cavillʼs rumors subsiding and Steven Yeun recently departing from his role as The Sentry in the upcoming movie Thunderbolts, another actor came to our minds, who we believe is perfect for the role. Given his experience and skill, Mark Wahlberg is our choice of actor who could be in line to make his MCU debut. Forget Henry Cavill, the Uncharted actor could be our next Sentry.

Not Henry Cavill, But Mark Wahlberg Might Make His MCU Debut

Over the decades, the MCU has hired several acclaimed actors to play superhero roles in their projects. Similarly, a few actors have also made headlines for either their alleged association or because fans wanted them to appear in MCU roles. Recently, Henry Cavill went viral on social media for a fan-art shared on Instagram, that portrayed him as Captain Britain.

Well, not just as Captain Britain, but former DC star Henry Cavill also made rumors for being fancast as Superman-like Marvel heroes such as Hyperion. In 2022, the actor was also reimagined as The Sentry after BossLogic shared their artwork via X.

But since MCU didn’t address either of the fan arts or discuss their decision to cast Cavill, the rumors subsided. Even the actor got busy with his other projects, like his upcoming movie Argylle.

Mark Wahlberg is now on our radar and might make his MCU debut
But, keeping the spark of excitement alive in fans, we have come up with another actor who could be a favorable choice for MCU projects.

With Henry Cavill gone off the radar, we believe Mark Wahlberg could be next in line to make his Marvel debut. Well, why not? Given his experience and range in acting, Wahlberg could easily take on a superhero role in the MCU.

Mark Wahlberg Could be a Better Sentry, After Steven Yeun’s Exit

Even the timing seems favorable for Mark Wahlberg as Steven Yeun recently made headlines for his alleged exit from the MCU.

Although Marvel never officially announced the casting, Yeun was previously reported to make his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with his role as The Sentry in Thunderbolts. But now word has come in that the actor is no longer going to appear in the film.

Steven Yeun will no longer play The Sentry in Thunderbolts
As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, the reason for Steven Yeun’s exit hasn’t been disclosed, but it’s certain that the actor will no longer be playing The Sentry.

Thus, this report brings us back to Mark Wahlberg who we believe, could easily take on the role. The Me Time actor has the potential to play both serious and humorous roles, and the MCU films are known for using both tones in their projects.

Wahlberg’s experience and skills make him a better Sentry
Further, even the role of The Sentry is quite brilliant for Mark Wahlberg. Given that the character emits incredible superhuman strength, next-level intelligence, and even lacks vulnerability, making him almost invincible, Wahlberg could harness the limitless power of The Sentry with his potential as an actor.

A trusted friend to Iron Man and Professor X, the MCU character who is an accepted hero by the public, could be the next best role of Mark Wahlberg, finally marking his Marvel debut.
