AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Hi-Res Concept Art Shows Captain America In U.S. Agent And Super Soldier Gear

Avengers: Infinity War gave Chris Evans' Captain America a very different look, but Marvel very nearly decked him out to look like U.S. Agent or the Super Soldier. We also have alternate shield designs...

Avengers: Infinity War changed the status quos of many characters but it was Captain America who may have had the most surprising journey. Clearly still hurting from the events of Captain America: Civil War, Steve Rogers appeared to be a broken man who no longer had a country to stand for. Despite that, he still did what was right for our planet when Thanos attacked.

Wearing a tattered version of his Captain America costume, Steve was still recognisable but Marvel Studios considered a lot of different designs for the fan-favourite First Avenger.

These included suits which paid homage to both U.S. Agent and the Super Soldier, not to mention those who fight overseas in the Middle East. All of that and more can be seen in the gallery below, so to check out these alternate suit and shield designs, all you guys have to do is click on the "View List" button.

The rolled up sleeves is a very cool look for this rugged Steve Rogers and the camo style pants work really well with the faded Avengers uniform which no longer boasts the star/Avengers logo.

A completely different look for Captain America, this would have seen the hero completely ditch his uniform for something new. The problem is, it's too much of a departure from his classic look.

Something I would like to know is, what's the deal with that awesome looking spear! Was Steve originally going to be given a Wakandan weapon to fight with rather than that new shield?

A good look at the back of Captain America's costume in Avengers: Infinity War, it's amazing to see the amount of thought which goes into bringing these characters to life on the silver screen.

Marvel Studios' concept artists have confirmed that this suit was based on U.S. Agent and it would have been a lot of fun seeing Captain America taken down this direction after the events of Civil War.

Keeping the U.S. Agent theme, these are a little more subtle in terms of colour and would have made more sense for Steve given how he feels about the government and Sokovia Accords.

The red here works surprisingly well but I can't help but feel that these designs would actually be better suited for a villainous Captain America like the one seen in the Secret Empire storyline.

These versions of Captain America's suit are said to be inspired by the "Super Soldier" uniform he wore when he returned from the dead and Bucky was serving as the current Captain America.

Due to the way the Secret Avengers were introduced, we didn't get to see anything of them embarking on covert missions under the government's radar but this artwork depicts one of those.

It looks like Marvel at one point envisioned Captain America heading to the Middle East because these combat fatigues definitely appear to be inspired by mercenaries fighting over there.

Captain America's new shield was designed while work on Black Panther continued, hence why these early versions are so different to what ended up making it to the big screen in Infinity War.

Honestly would have been fine with most of these. I still like what we got but there is some good stuff here.

RocknRolla - 11/7/2018, 6:32 AM

@Evansly - I love it, but I guess I don't need to buy the book now. Will see the entire thing by the end of the week.

Daredevil cap.

KWilly - 11/7/2018, 6:16 AM

I just hope in A4, Tony gives Cap this shield.

Like what Happy said in Homecoming, "Cap's new shield", we need to see that come to fruition in A4. Maybe he gets that magnetism armband back he had in AOU too.

CaptainElrond - 11/7/2018, 6:17 AM

@KWilly - Nah. Give him his old shield back.

KWilly - 11/7/2018, 7:01 AM

@MadameCipher - I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the OG shield goes to Bucky, after Cap dies.

L0RDbuckethead - 11/7/2018, 6:15 PM

@KWilly - That's exactly what's gonna happen.

@Capfan82 - The belt clip on his right side is supposed to be the star.

Capfan82 - 11/7/2018, 7:50 AM

@smgmayhem - hmm. i see that now! pretty solid touch by them. i am actually a huge fan of US Agent, i'd be pretty excited if his at least his costume made it to the big screen in some way.

The first one is so dope

Kumkani - 11/7/2018, 6:50 AM

The short-sleeved look would have been great for reasons I think I don't need to explain.

Also would have been nice to see Cap's Secret Avengers doing a covert mission. The Russos mentioned at some point that them doing these under the radar has taken a toll on all of them. I would have liked to see that played out a little.

TheAmarilloBlack - 11/7/2018, 7:18 AM

Gonna miss my boy as Cap. I hope he stays on to head SHIELD, at least.

@noahthegrand - Lol, looks like something DC would whip up!
cough* Shazam! cough*

Killuminatic - 11/7/2018, 8:34 AM

@joointe - That has to be among one of the dumbest things someone has said in these comment sections...

Shazam has a perfectly comic accurate costume, or atleast a greatly interpreted version of it, in the movie. Regardless of what your opinions are of the overall design aesthetic itself, it still logically fits within the context of the character, and narratively how Billy Batson would envision himself to be as a superhero, taking inspiration from Superman.

Mr2099 - 11/7/2018, 12:18 PM

Those first few designs look like Cap is trying to be Solid Snake SO BAD

2pacman - 11/7/2018, 3:52 PM

badass!

Omegacron - 11/8/2018, 11:14 AM

I really like the solid black one. Also, why do they keep calling the Wakandan replacement a "shield"? It's more like an arm-mounted knives thing than a shield.
