- Marvel fans have gotten their first look at Daredevil’s new suit Born again season 2
- It comes in the form of a leaked image from what appears to be a promo photo shoot
- Many fans are happy with the costume’s authentic design
Marvel fans have given their verdict on the new suit that Daredevil will be wearing Born again season 2 after a photo of said costume leaked online.
Over the weekend (November 1st and 2nd), a photograph of lead actor Charlie Cox wearing Daredevil’s iconic Shadowlands suit began circulating online. It has been difficult to identify the original source of the leak, but the image, which appears to be from a professional photo shoot, is likely to be used for promotional purposes ahead of Daredevil: Born Again season 2 arrives in early 2026.
Regardless of who leaked the photo, it wasn’t long before it was widely shared on social media, including by X/Twitter user Warling.
The photo, which you can see above, shows Cox’s Matt Murdock in his famous Marvel Comics black ensemble. The almost all-black suit is equipped with a pair of dark red eye lenses and the guard’s iconic ‘DD’ logo adorning the chest piece.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this costume. In fact, behind-the-scenes photos of Cox wearing the costume were first glimpsed r/MarvelStudios when Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again was filmed earlier in 2025. If you missed them at the time, you can check them out in the Reddit post below.

It’s certainly a minimalistic, albeit sleek-looking costume, and perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s been well received by Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans. In the hours since the leaked images dropped, much of the Disney+ show’s audience has praised the suit’s live-action adaptation.
On X/Twitter, users captaincupcakes wrote “the best Daredevil look ever”, schwayjohn said “by far the best live action Daredevil suit yet”, teeceecomics wrote “I hope it’s real because [sic] this is a top three Daredevil suit and it isn’t [sic] two or three”, and mcuspidey daily simply said “it’s beautiful”.
Meanwhile, vast-platform3647 on Reddit said “is this one of the best costumes in the MCU? The look of it reminds me of the first Iron Man pictures in 2007”, tharkus wrote “he looks so bad”, and direct-locksmith-420 said “finally, the damn logo”.

However, there are some who believe that Marvel Studios could have done more with the suit’s design. On X/Twitter, user tylerayyeee tweaked the leaked image to make the eye lenses more prominent and colored the suit’s forearms, belt, and leg sheaths to make it even more similar to the character’s Shadowlands outfit. Elsewhere, Redditors a_o and Rockalot_L also commented on the eye lenses, albeit in a more amusing way.
With Born again season 2 set to arrive in March 2026, we’ve learned—and will continue to learn—more about one of the best Disney+ shows next season in the coming weeks and months.
