We've already run through a number of reveals from Infinity War, but this is proving to be the most talked-about. Just last week a leaked toy image seemed to reveal Cap's new shield, and lo-and-behold here it is in the trailer.

The shield, or shields, takes the shape of an extendable gauntlet on each of Steve Rogers' arms, and while it looks pretty cool and is doubtless of the highest tech imaginable (it's almost certainly made by Wakandan genius Shuri), it's also a lot smaller than what we're used to from Cap's shield. But then, of course, he isn't Cap anymore.

It's a nice way of visually telling audiences he isn't Captain America - whether or not he actually uses the Nomad moniker remains to be seen - and the way they're situated on his arms should make them quite practical in battle too, with them glimpsed in the Battle of Wakanda.
