    From Redditor u/SomeUsernameExcuse:

    In Avengers: Endgame (2019) when Captain America readjusts his shield, he makes a large grunt from pain. Turns out he’s using the shield to hold his forearm muscle in place because it got badly sliced in the 1-on-1 fight with Thanos.

    Cap's Changed His Suit In The Opening Of 'Endgame' To His Favorite

    From Redditor u/MaxReb0:

    In the opening to Avengers: Endgame (2019), Captain America reverts to his S.H.I.E.L.D. designed suit when confronting Thanos, as a direct result of his more recent, Stark-designed suit being damaged before and during Avengers: Infinity War (2018).

    This costume change was also inspired by actor Chris Evans, who has stated that the stealth suit from Winter Soldier was his favorite costume.
