Fans of the MCU have been guessing for quite some time that "Avengers: Infinity War" might cover the Nomad era from the comic series.

Avid viewers also picked apart Evans' new identity based on the teasers for "Avengers: Infinity War." They noted that the actor wasn't wearing his familiar red, white and blue Captain America suit and he sported a beard that comic fans associated with Nomad.
