The story would be about Robert Reynolds (portrayed by Alexander Skarsgard), being dormant for a long time since the early 2000's after he decided to quite being Sentry and live a normal life with his girlfriend Lindy Lee (portrayed by Blake Lively) . With the help of Nick Fury, SHIELD and the Ancient One, they erased the memory of Sentry from the world population. But years later, after the decimation (aka the Snap) and the return (the re-snap done by Bruce Banner) the world has changed and with the Avengers gone, the world needs new heroes to fill in that empty space left by them. Rob is then asked to come out of retirement by Maria Hill who had help finding him from Doctor Strange, to help them stop an old rival of his named Cranio (portrayed by Mads Mikkelsen) who has found a new super powered hero named Hyperion (portrayed by Kevin Zegers), to replace the emptiness left by Sentry. But Rob is unsure, as the reason he retired as Sentry was because of the darkness inside him called "The Void". It will be a up hill battle for Rob, fighting this young replacement and fighting his inner darkness.
