Captain America 4 Adamantium Armor Theory: What Is Sam Wilson’s Suit Made From?

Captain America 4: Brave New World’s recent trailer hints at being another test of Sam Wilson’s abilities to hold the mantle of Captain America, passed to him by the legendary Steve Rogers. As he is set to cross paths with the Red Hulk in the highly anticipated flick, fans are questioning whether Sam Wilson’s powers are enough to go against this formidable character. With the trailer giving glimpses of a new suit for Wilson in Captain America 4, fans are curious to know if the MCU will provide an adamantium upgrade in the form of armor to him, now that the metal is reportedly entering the universe. Here is all we know.

Will Sam Wilson get an adamantium upgrade in Captain America 4: Brave New World?

As per fans, Sam Wilson might get an adamantium upgrade in Captain America 4, based on the details of the trailer. With Captain America 4 connecting to 2021 Eternals by showing Tiamut as one of the major plots of the movie, adamantium has become a topic of discussion for many fans.

According to Men’s Journal, Sam Wilson’s new suit photos were released by MCU in January. The new suit seemed to pay tribute to Steve Rogers’ Captain America’s Endgame suit. The suit is lighter in shade than the one Wilson wore in Falcon and The Winter Soldier finale, however, what caught fans’ attention were the vibranium wings that are carried forward from the Disney+ show, with a new helmet. Given that Sam Wilson lacks the extraordinary powers of the super soldier serum that Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers had, the vibranium suit gives him an edge in combat as shown in the trailer and the Disney+ show.

However, one thing that is prompting fans to doubt Wilson’s powers again, with the suit combined, is a glimpse of Harrison Ford’s President Thaddeus Ross’ Red Hulk effortlessly catching the vibranium shield mid-air and smashing it on the ground. Red Hulk’s dominance over vibranium can also be seen in a poster that was released with the trailer, which shows the red angry giant’s hand crushing the edges of Captain America’s shield.

These details have cast doubt among fans, leading them to wonder if Wilson would be able to stand his ground against Red Hulk with a vibranium suit. Thus, rumors about Wilson possibly getting an Adamantium upgrade in his suit in the form of armor are circulating widely. Captain America 4 which is set to hit theaters on February 14, 2025, will pack a thrilling ride for fans.
