Now, its origin has been revealed by the writer of Endgame, Stephen McFeely in an interview with Los Angeles Times. He said,

“It’s a little meta, Chris Evans has never been comfortable with that outfit from the first Avengers movie. And so in the rearview, it’s a little way to wink at how that was then, and this is now. And then it sort of just built from there. By the time we got to the fight scene where he defeated himself, his butt is on the ground and he was just sitting there for a callback.”

Co-writer Christopher Markus also shared something about the comfort of Cap’s suit and said,

“I think it’s the color, but also his ears are covered in that outfit. When he puts on the helmet, he has these little Princess Leia dents over his ears, and it throws the whole thing off. You wouldn’t normally think that an ear is an important part of an outfit, but it balances everything in a way that when they go, you look dorky.”

If you haven’t watched the film yet, then do watch now and witness more incredible things like this one.
