Following Steven Yeun‘s departure from the role of Sentry in Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts, rumors about the character’s recasting with various actors like Alan Ritchson and Alexander Skarsgård hit the web. However, one name that caught fans’ attention was Ryan Gosling. As such, fans are curious about whether or not Gosling will take on the role of Sentry and join the MCU. Here is all you need to know.

Is Ryan Gosling the new Sentry actor in Thunderbolts?

No, Ryan Gosling is not confirmed to be the new Sentry actor in Thunderbolts, as of publishing.

However, back in late 2022, reputed but semi-reliable industry insider Daniel RPK revealed via Patreon that Gosling was eyed by Marvel to play a major MCU villain, which fans believed was Sentry. This was months before Steven Yeun’s reported casting as the character and now that Yeun is out of the picture, there is a chance that Marvel could back to Gosling and cast him in the role.

Gosling, however, is just one actor rumored to be Sentry alongside a handful of other rumored actors for the role such as Alan Ritchson, Henry Cavill, and Alexander Skarsgård.

Gosling would make for a great Sentry as he has proven through his nuanced performances in The Gray Man, Drive, and Blue Valentine that he has an impressive acting range to portray Sentry, a character suffering from split personality disorder via his inner battles with The Void, a darker personality of his.

Is Ryan Gosling joining the MCU as a Marvel superhero?

Ryan Gosling has not yet been confirmed to join the MCU as a Marvel superhero as of publishing.

However, the Canadian actor has expressed interest in taking on Ghost Rider in an interview with Jake’s Takes promoting The Gray Man. Kevin Feige himself even entertained the idea in an interview with MTV‘s Josh Horowitz, stating that he loved Gosling and his work and wanted to find a place for him in the MCU.

Elsewhere in MCU news, Marvel’s What If…? almost included a dark Spider-Man-centric episode. Also, here are all the times Superman died in TV shows, movies, and comics, after being killed by villains.
