The first art forDaredevilseason 3 has arrived online.Daredevilwas the first live-action Marvel series to debut on Netflix and, quite arguably, remains the best of the bunch. Season 2 introduced us to The Punisher and took some big leaps forward and now, the third season is in production and is set to debut on Netflix later this year. While we still haven’t seen any footage from the highly-anticipated new season, the first piece ofSeason 3art has arrived online, showing the titular hero taking a leap of faith.
ThisDaredevilseason 3 image was released by Marvel Entertainment’s Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada. Taking to Twitter, Quesada decided to give fans just the smallest of teases by showing off this bit of art, which should make Marvel Comics fans rather happy, as it looks reminiscent of some of the bestDaredevilcomics, such as Frank Miller’s legendary run with the blind Hell’s Kitchen hero. We see the “DD” logo on top of a building, withDaredevilheroically leaping off of it to the streets below. There’s a relatively subtle Netflix logo above one of the buildings as well. Quesada seemed excited to share the art, based on his caption.
“How about a little DD season 3 art!”
Marvel and Netflix renewedDaredevilfor a third season back in 2016, but it’staken a whileto actually get things in motion. Much of that had to do with gettingThe Defendersfinished up. They also had new shows to launch, includingIron Fist, which didn’t go over so well, andThe Punisher, which went over about as well as anyone could have hoped. There’s alsoJessica Jonesseason 2 andLuke Cageseason 2 on the way this year, so Marvel had a lot on its plate.
In any case,Daredevilseason 3 is coming our way at some point this year, but a release date has yet to be announced. Specific plot details are being kept mostly under wraps, but it looks like this season will be based in part on theclassic Born Again storyline, which was written by Frank Miller and is considered to be the seminalDaredevilstory. We also know that Vincent D’Onofrio is coming back as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, which is good news as he’s one of the best villains that any live-action Marvel project has ever produced. He showed up inDaredevilseason 2 as well, but his role was reduced from what it was in season 1.
In addition to Vincent D’Onofrio’sKingpin, the core trio of Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock/Daredevil), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), and Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson) are all set to return.Joanne Whalleywas announced as one of the new cast members, coming into play Sister Maggie, who is revealed to be Matt’s mother in the comics.Daredevilseason 3 will be the first with Erik Olson (The Man in the High Castle) as showrunner. He’ll also serve as executive producer on the new season. Be sure to check out the newDaredevilseason 3 art, courtesy ofJoe Quesada’s Twitteraccount, for yourself below.
