Avengers: Infinity War Super Bowl Trailer Reactions: 5 Ups & 2 Downs

3. Cap's New Shield

As T'Challa promised in the first trailer, Cap - or Nomad as it may be more appropriate to call him - is going to get a new shield. And that doesn't mean he'll be sporting a new circular affair as he always has in the MCU either - since he's in Wakanda, he's getting one in keeping with his new allies' technology.

Though he had his usual iconic shield as Nomad in the comics, this is a smart way to draw a line of distinction between his old guise as Captain America and what he is now he's turned his back on his former alliance with the US government and the World Council.

Plus, it looks really cool, and it looks like it has projectile weapons on it to make up for the lessened defensive coverage.
