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

10. Cap's New Nomad-Inspired Look

All hail Steve's immaculate beard. No doubt designed to show he's been through some hardships since we last saw him - and has been hidden underground - the facial hair gives Chris Evans' character a cool Solid Snake vibe. He's also rocking a new costume too, but the look of it, without the chest star that was so emblematic of what he once stood for.

After stepping away from the Captain America role in Captain America: Civil War - by ceremonially losing his shield and basically turning his back on his former government pay-masters, Steve Rogers is no longer the instrument of patriotism he once was. Interestingly, though, Cap is still wearing the shoulder straps that hold his shield on his back, so we're probably going to see that reunion at least.

As has been hinted for a while, he's more likely to more closely resemble Nomad - the title Rogers took on when he becomes similarly disillusioned with the US government in Captain America #180 (December 1974). Though we probably won't see the face mask, the more flowing hair and dark blue outfit certainly seem to owe something to that costume design...
