In the comics, Adamantium has been used for several prominent items and applications — including Captain America’s shield (made from Vibranium and an experimental Adamantium), Wolverine’s claws and skeleton, coated with Adamantium during experiments in the Weapon X program, and secondary Adamantium being part of the outer shells of different versions of Ultron. The MCU opts to change things up, with Captain America’s shield being made with just Vibranium. There’s also no mention of Adamantium regarding Ultron or other characters made from the metal in the comics, such as MODOK.
If the report is correct, “Captain America: Brave New World” and “Deadpool & Wolverine” may not be the only upcoming projects where the metal appears. “Daredevil: Born Again” could follow Bullseye’s comic book story from “Daredevil” #181 (by Frank Miller, Klaus Janson, and Joe Rosen), where the villain suffers a severe spinal injury later repaired with Adamantium. In Netflix’s “Daredevil,” Bullseye was last seen having surgery for a similar injury, so he may be treated with the metal, explaining how he returns during the series. Ultimately, Adamantium becoming a key material in the MCU makes sense, allowing the world to dive deeper into comic book connections.
