Despite all the great - than - animation twists and release he ’s dealt with , Matt Murdock ’s always been a comparatively strand homo within the Marvel Cinematic Universe thanks to his unwavering trust . Inthe third time of year of Daredevil , though , Matt ’s faith is give way to be put to the test in a way that withdraw him to his darkest depths . io9 witness out all about it during a localise sojourn to the Netflix superhero serial .
The world is convinced that he decease after the events ofThe Defenders , so Daredevil ’s third seasonfinds Matt at a unequaled impassethat gives him the chance to reflect on his life as a vigilante and whether all of the turmoil he ’s put himself through is worth it . Beaten , bruised , and alone , there ’s slight Matt can really hold onto other than his faith . This world puts him in a nous distance that ’s hold out to bestow new elements of his personality to get down and push the show deeper into the psychological aspect of Daredevil ’s large mythos .
For a important chunk of the new time of year , Matt ’s back in dark duds that , on pass glance , are more or less the same as his classical black-market getup . But when we utter with Charlie Cox during our late set visit , he explain that there ’s a much deeper import to this looping of the black costume that factors into the story Daredevil ’s third season will narrate .

The costume , Cox explained , is actually fashioned from the same fabric used to create the habits worn by the conical buoy in the church building we first saw him in at The Defenders ’ very ending . Though Matt is n’t straightaway shake his “ proper ” Daredevil costume , the return to black is , in a way , an verbal expression of Matt essay to reckon out who he is :
“ The way we transitioned into the red costume at the oddment of time of year one , the affair that really sell it for me was the conversation Matt had with Father Lantom . Lantom says ‘ Sometimes it ’s crucial for there to be a symbol to be feared by people . ’ It keeps them in tick , it allows them to remember why they behave in a moral agency . That was the impetus for Matt to go and hug this symbolization — that iconic red suit .
[ betimes into this ] season , there ’s an equally compelling reason for him to not be in the cerise suit anymore . It ’s not denotative , but my apprehension of it is vindicated : Matt , for various ground , no longer feel like he is deserving of it . It ’s almost like he ’s lost that privilege . And also that he is , in some ways , outgrow what it stood for . There ’s also another understanding why he literally ca n’t bear the courting . ”

Cox added that this time of year will see Matt contend with his alter ego and power in a way that make him question his faith in God and whether he ’s on the correct path . Much of this fault is internal , Cox added , but it ’s something that was always running through his mind while inhabiting the character :
“ He still believes in God , but he believes in a punishing God . He sees God as , at times , quite cynical and almost revengeful . Hopefully , he ’ll come back from that , but early on , at least , he ’s that angry . He feels that let down . If you ’re someone who believes he was given this gift to help , and then that is taken away but you ’re still awake , it cast off everything into question .
The other attitude that has change a bit is that Matt goes from believing that he was Matt Murdock with this alter egotism of Daredevil , to believing he ’s Daredevil with a Trygve Halvden Lie of Matt Murdock . ”

Matt ’s crisis of faith coincide with his issue to the orphans' asylum where he grew up and an unexpected reunion with new mould member Joanne Whalley ( Willow ) , who portrays Maggie , a nun buoy withan important connexion to his past tense . Though Whalley was cagey with specific particular about Maggie and Matt ’s history , she punctuate that she and Matt will be moderately at odds in term of how they demonstrate their faith — but , regardless of their differences , she ’s steady in her loyalty to help the broken hero in whatever way she can .
Daredevil ’s third season will also see the return of Deborah Ann Woll ’s Karen Page , whose proximity to Matt will once again put her a specific variety of danger . Woll explained that even though Karen happen herself in the midst of a battle she did n’t expect for , all of her past experiences with hero sandwich and villain have made it so that by the time we catch up with her , she ’s more than prepared to take on whatever fall her means .
Despite those present threat , though , much of Karen ’s ontogenesis as a character is pose to come from her dark past this season :

“ The main thread that I asked every undivided showrunner along the way was like , ‘ Please do n’t say I shot someone to save a busload of kids . ’ I want whatever find to be something that was my fault . That this is n’t a story about misplaced guilt trip , this is a story about forgiveness and toleration .
That I did something really wrong and the residual of my lifetime has been about atoning for it . Every story that I save about justice and truth and about open your judgment to unlike type like Frank Castle or Daredevil , it ’s all about , “ How do I make up for the awful things that I have done by being the most spark and the most true and the most helpful I can be ? ”
BetweenWilson Fisk getting out of the pokeyand everyone assuming the Devil of Hell ’s Kitchen is dead , Daredevil is set to take more than a handful of spectacular turn when the third time of year drops October 19 .
