Avengers: Infinity War - 15 Rumours That Were Utter Bull

5. Shuri Built The New Stark Suit

The Rumour: With Tony Stark touting a new Iron Man suit in Infinity War, especially one that forms around his body similarly to Black Panther's (Chadwick Boseman) nano-suit, it wasn't exactly a huge leap to suggest that Stark had been gifted his upgraded suit from Shuri (Letitia Wright) after Wakanda opened its borders to the world.

The Truth: This is one of those rumours that really should've turned out to be true, and it's really quite weird that it didn't. While Stark does note that his suit is infused with nano technology, the implication seems to be that he concurrently developed it on his own.

It's hard to imagine the Russos could resist dropping even a single line about the suit being a gift from Wakanda, so we're left to assume he did this all by himself. Very weird.
