DAREDEVIL: The Man Without Fear Returns In These First Official Season 3 Stills
On the heels of yesterday's announcement teaser, we have first official images from the upcoming third season of Marvel & Netflix's Daredevil. See Matt Murdock meet-up with an old friend after the jump...
Netflix announced the premiere date for the third season of Marvel's Daredevil yesterday, and now EW has debuted two official stills.
The first features The Man Without Fear donning his original black costume as he watches over the streets of Hell's Kitchen, and the second sees Matt Murdock meeting up with his old friend Foggy Nelson, who is probably more than a little surprised to see him after the events of The Defenders.
“Foggy has been trying to move on from Matt’s memory, or at least move on with his life,” says new showrunner Erik Oleson. “If you thought one of your close friends was dead and he decided not to tell you he survived, you would probably have some issues with that.”
Oleson also offers a few hints about the story season 3 will follow by giving us more of an insight into Murdock's fractured psyche as he struggles to deal with a crisis of faith and the fact that his heightened senses are failing.
“Matt starts the season broken physically, broken emotionally, and broken spiritually. He’s angry at God, he’s angry at the fact that he had risked his life to do God’s work, and he’s questioning whether or not he was a fool.
Matt goes to pretty much the darkest place you can when he realizes that he’s incapable of being Daredevil, he would rather just end it than go forward in his life without abilities. He’s decided to set aside his Matt Murdock persona and just be the Devil, to isolate the lighter part of himself.”
Matt's life will be further complicated by the return of a "smarter, more calculated, and more manipulative" Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio), who will be hatching a new plan to reclaim his criminal empire.
Fore more, head on over to EW. Daredevil returns on October 19th.
