Revealed: How Matt Murdock’s Red Suit Transforms into the Iconic Black Daredevil Look

BBG News

As a die-hard film enthusiast, I can’t help but share my excitement about the latest behind-the-scenes snaps from “Daredevil: Born Again” Season 2, which offer a tantalizing glimpse into how Matt Murdock, brilliantly portrayed by Charlie Cox, dons his iconic black Daredevil suit. While we saw him in his fiery red attire for most of the first season, with challenges posed by the terrifying Muse and Vincent D’Onofrio’s formidable Wilson Fisk, the upcoming season promises a fresh look for Cox’s Marvel Cinematic Universe character.

Attentive spectators watching the filming of “Daredevil: Born Again” in New York City apparently noticed an intriguing detail about Matthew Murdock’s new black Daredevil uniform. During what appeared to be a dramatic night shoot, featuring scenes involving Charlie Cox’s Daredevil and Wilson Bethel’s Bullseye/Benjamin Poindexter, images were taken of Cox’s Man Without Fear wearing a slightly worn version of the black “Shadowland”-inspired costume, which has been hinted at during production.

According to posts by @_DaredevilShots online, these latest images suggest that the black costume introduced for Season 2 may not actually be a fresh design. It appears to be a repainted variant of the classic red outfit that Daredevil has worn throughout the series so far.

In pictures taken during the production of “Born Again”, expansive areas of red are noticeable seeping into the black of Daredevil’s new suit for Season 2, leading some to speculate that as episodes progress, viewers might observe the paint gradually fading away over time.

The homemade, makeshift design of this latest Daredevil costume aligns flawlessly with the world depicted in “Born Again”. It functions as war paint for the character, preparing him for a full-blown conflict against Mayor Kingpin and his Anti-Vigilante Task Force minions.

The production for the second season of “Daredevil: Born Again” is currently underway in New York City, with an anticipated release date around early 2026. Continuing from where Season 1 concluded, Mayor Wilson Fisk (portrayed by Vincent D’Onofrio) will implement martial law in New York City, aiming to eliminate all masked vigilantes from the city. However, Matt Murdock, the main character portrayed by Charlie Cox, will confront Fisk. To bring down the criminal kingpin-turned-government official, Murdock will need to gather a team. Fortunately, he can count on support from key figures like Deborah Ann Woll’s Karen Page and Clark Johnson’s Cherry.

Why Daredevil’s Black Suit Is Perfect for Born Again Season 2

Following his realization that he must wear the mask once more in “Daredevil: Born Again” Season 1, rekindling MCU fans’ anticipation for his iconic red appearance, it’s logical to assume that the character will adopt a darker persona with his seemingly self-made all-black costume from Season 2.

In Season 2, New York City finds itself under threat. Mayor Kingpin enforces a strict ban on vigilante activities and is determined to eliminate all the city’s numerous masked protectors.

If he intends to play underhandedly, then Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock won’t shy away from it. An intriguing method to visually symbolize the emergence of this inner turmoil could be by dressing him entirely in a black suit.

The paint could potentially contribute to further exploring the main topics of Season 2. Should Matt engage in a conflict with Kingpin, there’s a strong likelihood that this action will impact both his professional life as a lawyer and his role as a costumed hero.

The psychological pressure could be visually depicted on-screen by the gradual fading or chipping of Daredevil’s iconic black armor. This suggests that as Matt’s moral compass and New York City itself become more corrupted, so too does the appearance of his suit.
