It appears in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), The Avengers (2012), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Avengers: Endgame (2019). The shield also appears in the live-action Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021).
Concept and development
In production for Captain America: The First Avenger, the shield, which is depicted as both a defensive tool and a weapon, came in four types: metal, fiberglass, rubber, and computer graphics (CG).[2] Prop master Barry Gibbs specified that "We had the 'hero shield,' which was made of aluminum, for our beauty shots [and] close-up work. We then created a lighter shield that was aluminum-faced with a fiberglass back, for use on a daily basis. ... And then we had a stunt shield made of polyurethane, which is sort of a synthetic rubber ... and we made an ultrasoft one we put on [Evans'] back, so that if there were an accident, it wouldn't hurt him."[3] Visual effects supervisor Christopher Townsend said Evans "would practice swinging the practical shield so he knew the arc and the speed at which he should move. We would take the shield from him and shoot the scene with him miming it. Then we would add in a CG shield".[2]
The premise of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier revolves around a moment in the film Avengers: Endgame (2019) which depicts Steve Rogers bequeathing the shield and the mantle of Captain America to his friend Sam Wilson.[4][5] Feige said this was intended to be a "classic passing of the torch from one hero to another", but when Marvel Studios got the opportunity to make television series for Disney+ they decided to expand this into an entire story about Wilson, who is a Black man, becoming Captain America, with the shield serving as a symbol for the superhero title. Mackie said the series would explore Wilson's backstory and treat him as a "regular guy" in a world of superheroes,[6] while "walk[ing] the line of who is going to take up the [Captain America] shield" after Endgame.[7]

However, the shield has been shown to be not be completely indestructible, as it was destroyed by the double-edged sword of Thanos, made from an unknown cosmic metal, during Avengers: Endgame.
Differences from the comic books
The shield is made purely from vibranium in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, rather than from a vibranium-steel alloy as in the comic books.[9] The comics counterpart also consists of "proto-adamantium", with adamantium being an element that has not yet been featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[13] The shield has also been successfully destroyed by Thor in the comics,[14] whilst Thor was depicted as unable to destroy the shield in The Avengers.[11]
