Ryan Gosling has starred in everything from "La La Land" to "Blade Runner 2049" throughout his incredible Hollywood run, amounting to several awards, nominations, and an overall impressive filmography. However, up to this point, he has yet to work on a Marvel production of any kind. If he someday decides to collaborate with Marvel Studios, this artwork by @arifinity_ on Instagram builds a solid case for him to play Sentry. As seen above, he looks great in the character's iconic yellow and blue outfit, complete with a cape and the oversized "S" emblem on the front of his belt.
Of course, this fan casting of Ryan Gosling as Sentry hasn't come out of nowhere. Rumors have swirled that he's in talks to take on the role, but this is pure speculation on the part of the internet. The rumor states that he's allegedly being eyed as one of the main villains in 2024's "Thunderbolts" (via The Direct), which sees the likes of Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), and others come together as a team under the direction of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus). Time will tell just how much credence there is to this swirling rumor.
Ryan Gosling has expressed his interest in joining the MCU at some point (via Extra), so could we see him take on Sentry sooner rather than later? We'll just have to wait and see if this excellent fan art will become a silver-screen reality.
