Captain America’s shield is not just an important object within the MCU story, but it’s an icon all on its own. The pursuit of the shield is the main premise behind the new Disney Plus series, The Falcon And The Winter Soldier.
However, the shield’s legacy goes beyond this story or even the MCU. Captain America from the comics has been an inspiring figure. The symbol of America gets represented even more tangibly through his shield.
Naturally, the character and the object mean a lot to many throughout the world. One of those people is The Falcon And The Winter Soldier actor Desmond Chiam, who shared his own inspiring Captain America story.
