Avengers: Infinity War Trailer - 11 Major Plot Reveals

8. Cap Has Gone To Wakanda

"Get this man a shield."

And with that line, Steve Rogers emerges from the shadows and gives us arguably the best moment of the entire Infinity War trailer.

At the end of Civil War we witnessed Steve putting down his shield and leaving behind the Captain America persona, going underground alongside Black Widow, Ant-Man, and Falcon. And while they've been operating that way for a while, we now know where they ultimately go to: Wakanda.

That makes sense, since Black Panther is clearly someone Steve can trust, no to mention that his best mate Bucky is there too. So we'll either see Bucky broken out in Black Panther itself, or it'll happen when Steve gets to Wakanda, and then he'll lead the resistance to Thanos on that front. It's an interesting mix of characters we get here too: the appearance is in keeping with his move towards Nomad, and yet despite that he's still very much the figure of leadership and inspiration that Cap was - just look at the hope on Scarlet Witch's face when he emerges for proof of that.
