Warning: This article contains potential spoilers to Avengers: Infinity War
Unlike the old shield where its aerodynamic allowed cap to throw it around, the new version looks more bulky, defensive and grounded. Fans can check it out below.
Fans’ initial reaction to the new shield is mixed. Some are confused whether if it would be fitting for Captain America while the rest are displeased with the move. The MCU community is all over Twitter expressing disconcert, readers can check out some of the tweets below.
The new shield has also raised questions about the person who invented it. Currently, all evidence points to T’Challa’s sister Shuri played by Letitia Wright.
Shuri has been confirmed to make an appearance in Avengers: Infinity War. In an interview with ComicBook.com, the actress also spoke about her time filming with another cast member but was tight-lipped about revealing the actor’s identity.
“I can’t say who but it was amazing,” said Wright. It is quite possible that character could have been Captain America and the actress may be concealing that information to avoid potential spoilers.
In Avengers: Infinity War trailer, T’Challa is also shown interacting with Cap and says, “get this man a shield.” From the looks of it, Shuri may have created the shield for Captain America since she is the tech-savvy character capable of making it in Wakanda.
Fans will get to see Shuri’s tech-savvy side in the upcoming Black Panther releasing on February 16th. And fans keen on finding out the inventor of the new shield will find the answers on May 4 this year when Avengers: Infinity War hits theatres. Stay tuned with Pursue News for more updates on the film and others related to the MCU.

I'm a huge Captain America fan but I am not a fan of the new shield he will use for Infinity Wars.

Apparently Captain America is getting a new shield, and Thor getting a new weapon on Infinity War 😩

Hmm. Not liking the design of Captain America's new shield. Maybe it'll look better in the movie? #AvengersInfinityWar

I really don’t know how I feel about Captain America’s new shield in Avengers: Infinity War. I get that he gave his old shield to Tony after Civil War & that the new one is going to be made out the vibranium that is found in Wakanda,but I’m just not really sold on the new design
