The Nerdist article posits that Marvel Studios likely had to alter Sentry's (Robert Reynolds) introduction into the MCU for the upcoming Thunderbolts movie because of the events in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Here's a breakdown of the main points:

1. Sentry's Comic Origin: In the comics, Sentry is an incredibly powerful hero with a dark, destructive alter-ego called the Void. To stop the Void, Sentry, with the help of heroes like Doctor Strange and Reed Richards, made the entire world forget his existence. This "forgotten hero" trope is central to his character.
2. The Spider-Man: No Way Home concluded with Doctor Strange casting a spell that made the entire world forget Peter Parker.
3. Narrative Repetition: The article argues that introducing Sentry with a similar "everyone forgot him" storyline so soon after No Way Home would feel repetitive and lessen the impact of both narratives. Marvel typically tries to avoid such direct thematic overlaps in quick succession.
4. Forced Adaptation: Therefore, Marvel Studios will likely need to find a different way to introduce Sentry into the MCU. This could mean altering his origin, the reason for his obscurity, or how his immense power and dangerous duality (the Void) are managed without resorting to a global memory wipe.
5. Speculation: The article suggests Sentry might already exist in the MCU but is perhaps forgotten by most, or only known to a select few (like Thaddeus Ross, who might be involved in his creation or control), rather than a worldwide amnesia event.
