The new cowl

Since Falcon becomes Captain America, obviously, a lot of attention was paid to the new costume. One piece that was more difficult than others, though, was the cowl, which was designed very specifically and carefully. Unfortunately, the costume team realized it wasn’t physically possible to make that cowl look how it looks and stay in place at the same time. It was just not strong enough and moved around a lot on screen. As a result, anytime you see Sam in the costume, a good amount of visual effects are being used just on the cowl itself. Removing extra seams, straighten things out, etc. It’s something they’ll likely be working on for a while before Captain America 4.
