Well before Marvel Studios intended everyone to find out (before the Season 2 finale of Daredevil: Born Again debuted on D+), Mike Colter revealed that Matt Murdock would be spending some time sporting a brand new suit in the upcoming third season of the streaming series, this time trading the traditional DD gear for an orange jumpsuit. With Season 3 adapting Ed Brubaker‘s “The Devil in Cell Block D”, Murdock–who revealed himself as the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen in the Season 2 finale–will find himself spending quality time behind the same bars as many of the folks Ol’ Hornhead put there.
That change in the status quo will allow for fellow Defenders Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Danny Rand to step up to protect the streets of New York from emerging threats but Murdock was never going to be in prison forever and now, new photos from the NYC set of Season 3 have provided a first look at Cox back in the suit…sort of.
While the video is a bit blurry and the shots shared of the suit so far have been intentionally obscured, it seems as though Murdock will be wearing a suit similar to the one from Season 2 though it does appear as though it’s slightly updated. From what can be seen, the cowl appears predominantly black with red/maroon accents.
With The Hand once again operating in New York and Elektra confirmed to be returning for Season 3 along with The Defenders, it wouldn’t be entirely surprising to find out that the series is headed toward an adaptation of Shadowland. If that’s the case, this could be our first look at Matt trading his painted black suit for one that represents a more permanent darkness taking hold.
