Avengers: Infinity War - 13 Major Plot Reveals From Trailer 2
8. Rhodey Can Walk Without The War Machine Armour
It was a bit of a bummer in Captain America: Civil War when Jim Rhodes was shot out of the sky in his War Machine armour by Vision, since it looked like he'd no longer be able to be a part of the Avengers team. Of all of the heroes, he was arguably the most enthusiastic about being invited to the party and seeing it robbed from him was a tragedy.
Sure, we saw he had been given braces by Tony Stark to walk at the end of that movie, but him being an active hero still seemed a little unlikely. Flash forward to the first Infinity War trailer and it looked like those fears were misplaced since War Machine was very much fighting in Wakanda.
Now we have the answer to how he's able to operate as an Avenger still, thanks to this new trailer: he has light-weight leg braces (which look a little like cowboy riding chaps) that allow him to actually walk around outside of his War Machine armour.
It's not a huge thing in terms of how the plot is resolved, but it's big for Rhodey at least.
