Steve Rogers Holds His Own
Where the rest of his friends fail, Steve Rogers miraculously manages to hold his own against the Mad Titan. In the climactic clip of the trailer, we see Thanos attempt to crush the hero formally known as Captain America with his gauntleted fist. However, Steve somehow manages to hold him off. It clearly takes an incredible amount of effort, but it works. Thanos is definitely not used to this as he’s very surprised by Steve’s strength and force of will.
So. what’s going on here? How can Rogers resist Thanos when even Thor couldn’t? Cap is super-strong, of course, but surely he’s not at Asgardian levels. It’s just a theory on our part, but could he possibly have a sneaky Infinity Stone on his person which he’s using to give him the boost he needs to go toe-to-toe with Thanos? We can see here that the villain still only has the Space and Power Stones on him at this point. With the Mind Stone with Vision, that leaves Cap with three Stones potentially in his possession.
Or, maybe his new beard has imbued him with even more strength? What? Stranger things have happened in this franchise.
