Why Sentry must be the next big superhero to enter the MCU
How could Sentry be used to drive the narrative?
An important part of the Sentry’s introduction in the year 2000 was the aforementioned fact that he had actually already been around for some time – the thing is, everyone had forgotten him.
If that idea is implemented into his potential MCU introduction, that could play an extremely important part in the introduction of certain other characters in the franchise – namely the X-Men and mutants.

Now, hear us out on this one, because we know Robert Reynolds is no more of a mutant than Captain America or Spider-Man – and he doesn’t have any intrinsic links to mutants in the comics – but the MCU could be very different on that front (it’s not like the franchise hasn’t changed up its characters in a big way from the comics before).
Imagine, if you will, that the MCU version of the character didn’t possess enough telepathic power to wipe everyone’s memories of him by himself, so he approached the MCU’s Professor Xavier to help him.
Xavier agreed, on one condition: that, along with Sentry, the pair would wipe the world’s memories of mutants from their minds as well (perhaps because humanity had once again turned against them)!
It would be a fantastic way for mutants to have always been in the MCU – the memories of their existence had simply been wiped, allowing them to exist in peace – but when Sentry was forced to break the effects of the telepathic memory wipe, all memories of them come flooding back!
