Steve’s New Shield
One of the most meme-able moments from the first Infinity War trailer featured Black Panther ordering that someone get Steve Rogers a shield. We assumed that this would be his classic red, white and blue model, but this TV spot gives us our first glimpse at the hero formally known as Captain America’s new preferred accessory.
Previously, the reveal of an upcoming action figure let us see what Steve’s new shield would look like, but it came across as a little bland in toy form. It appears much cooler on screen, though. As Steve stands beside King T’Challa, he’s able to activate the wrist-mounted device which widens to form the shield. No doubt it’s also made of vibranium, as the metal is native to Wakanda.
The grey colour scheme is yet another nod to the fact that Steve is distancing himself from his star-spangled man with a new identity. Not that he’s any less up for a fight. “Let’s go,” he tells the Wakandan king here.
