CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER Stealth Suit and Shield Confirmed by Directors the Russo Brothers

When Captain America: The Winter Soldier was filming here in Cleveland, The Daily SuperHero reported that Steve Rogers' shield looked different. It was either highly worn and needed re-painting or it was another shield that was made and never painted. Either way it was a clue that Rogers' trusty shield was getting some kind of update.

Now it has been confirmed, by the directors the Russo brothers via Cinema Blend, there is definitely more than one shield in the Cap sequel.

“You’ll see when you see the movie what he’s doing and who he’s working for in the beginning of the film, that costume is appropriate for what they’re asking him to do. It is a stealth outfit. It is for secret missions and I think that, you know, it’s thematic. You know, you read online, people get rankled when you, you know, mess with the stars and the stripes, but there’s a very specific reason we did it in this film. We won’t talk about the other outfits that appear in the movie, which you’ll see in the movie, but again, I’ll just say, that the use of the costume in this film has a very thematic arc to it and hopefully a very arousing arc.
"It’s very much grounded in real military sort of functionality and purpose. He kicks a lot of ass in this film."

So Cap'n has a new stealth suit and shield for a secret mission during the movie. There you have it. The directing duo also discussed Rogers' more advanced fighting styles in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

"Cap is a very sharp individual and part of the serum accelerates his learning ability and if he’s going to be working for who he’s working for at the beginning of the movie, then we felt that he would be the absolute best at every style of fighting that he could be and that he would train himself to be the best to fit into a modern society. 
"Now, he’s trained. He’s trained exhaustively among some of the best people in the world. So, you see all sorts of movement out of him and we did a lot of intensive research with our stunt team, a lot of pre-fight videos and things that we’re really experimenting with how he would move in this movie, how he would fight. I think people will be really shocked when they see his style of fighting."

According to the Marvel Studios panel footage shown for the sequel this past weekend, it really sounds like Steve Rogers will have some intense, and entertaining, hand-to-hand fight sequences. Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens in theaters on April 4, 2014.
