Netflix released first look photos of its upcoming series, “Marvel’s Daredevil” during New York Comic-Con on Saturday. Additionally, the panel was able to announce some new castings.
The photos include star Charlie Cox in full “Daredevil” costume, then in plain clothes and then the muse for the costume. See them below.
The costume was inspired by Frank Miller and John Romita Jr.’s seminal “Daredevil: Man Without Fear,” a series that is widely considered to be one of the most important and influential Daredevil stories of all time. The image harkens back to the original art by Romita Jr. that inspired the costume.
