• The Scarlet Witch has a new leather outfit with a coat designed for maximum mobility, as she’s now a full-fledged Avenger, though she’s still learning from her teachers.

• While Hawkeye gets new weapons, like collapsible baton. He gets a left-handed bow (actor Jeremy Renner is a lefty), also made to be more lightweight. And instead of his usual vest, he now wears a full-sleeved jacket.

• Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man suit is updated and modified, with no extra cables on the helmet, and no dial on the regulator.

• Sam Wilson’s Falcon suit gets a more streamlined feel. Production notes say Anthony Mackie is very happy with his new suit, which also gets cool red marks on the wings.

• Paul Bettany, who plays the Vision sometimes used an AirBoard to float around when using a wire rig wasn’t an option. Similar to a hover board, the machine can go up to 12 miles per hour — and it took Paul just a few minutes to figure it out. This helped him with Vision’s ethereal and smooth floating movements.

• In Civil War, we’ll meet T’Challa, the Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman). His outfit incorporates African elements in the design. It’s a minimalist costume that gives off a sleek, cat-like vibe.
