Avengers: Infinity War - 10 Important Details In The New Posters

5. Black Panther's New Suit

It might be fairly subtle, but the poster also shows the differences between Black Panther's Civil War suit and the one he will wear in Infinity War (and probably also in Black Panther itself).

Ryan Coogler's design team haven't messed too much with the formula, but the helmet detailing on the forehead has been changed to include black claw marks instead of silver tram-lines, the eyes are deeper set with darker rims and there's even more of a feline feel to it. The cat's nose design is also far more pronounced.

We know the suit will include nanotechnology, thanks to the footage shown at Comic Con, and T'Challa can probably thanks his genius sister Shuri for that upgrade. And we should get to see it in action quite a bit, with a battle in Wakanda and Chadwick Boseman himself calling Panther "an important factor in Infinity War."

Cross-referencing this look with one of the shots from the Black Panther trailer, it would appear that T'Challa actually appears in his Civil War armour as well in that movie...

Presumably he upgrades to this new look nano-suit at some point during Black Panther's run (perhaps because Killmonger and Klaue steal it?) - he's certainly wearing what looks like the same suit as the Infinity War poster in the sequence that sees him riding on the top of the car in Japan.
