“Get This Man A Shield”
As well as trouble in New York, it seems that it’s all going down in the secret African nation of Wakanda, too. “Evacuate the city,” we hear Chadwick Boseman’s King T’Challa order his men. “Engage the defenses.”
We then see T’Challa in battle with the invaders himself, decked out in his Black Panther garb. In a short scene, we glimpse a strange alien woman throw a glowing staff at the king, but he’s quick enough to pluck it out of the air. At first glance, this woman sort of resembles Ragnarok‘s Hela. However, it’s actually Proxima Midnight, one of Thanos’ Black Order. We found out a while back that the Black Order would be introduced as Thanos’ elite squad of his adoptive children (which Gamora and Nebula would have been part of if they hadn’t gone rogue).
T’Challa then gives another order that’s sure to get fans excited: “And get this man a shield!” Cue Steve Rogers walking out of the dark, revealing his new, bearded look. It’s an epic moment and we’re sure every Marvel fan watching had the same expression as Wanda on their face at this point. Captain America is back!
