Avengers: Infinity War Cap Shield

As we already know, Steve Rogers is getting a new shield from Wakanda, which will be created by Shuri and made once again from vibranium. While it's unclear how Howard Stark got his hands on the rare metal for the original shield, this time around it's a gift from T'Challa as a sign of the burgeoning relationship between the pair, who were at odds during Civil War. Chadwick Boseman said:

"They trust each other. His shield was already made from vibranium anyway. So it’s just an extension of what he already had. This time, actually giving it to him, as opposed to… Me actually giving it to him is a testament to our relationship and trust.”

Speaking of trust, there's also a big element of it between Steve and Natasha, who've been working covertly together since the events of Civil War - and that's only strengthened their bond, with Chris Evans saying: "I think Steve is a little newly calloused in the ways of the world. But Natasha is always going to be a couple steps ahead of him in terms of experience and knowledge. They’ve leaned on each other for different reasons. It’s reinforced the friendship.”

For her part, Scarlett Johansson says Widow "hardened even more than she probably was before." The report also confirms that Bucky will be called White Wolf in the movie, which first happened in Black Panther's post-credits scene.
