Marvel's Daredevil Season 3: 10 Early Predictions For Season 4

10. Matt Gets A New Suit

Although it was disappointing to see Daredevil forego his iconic red suit for Season 3, the show did give a plausible explanation for why he didn't want to use it. To begin with he didn't have the resources, but upon finding Melvin, he explains that he's outgrown the symbolism of the character, to which I reply with: "bah!"

While there's no denying the brilliance of the suit taken from Frank Miller's Man Without Fear, it's nowhere near as iconic as the character's red redesign. It's striking, intrinsic to the character's moniker and was already adapted immaculately once before in the show's second season; to get rid of it now would be a major step back.

There is a middle ground to be had though. Should Daredevil's showrunners really take a disliking to the red outfit, there's nothing to stop them from, say, reversing the colour scheme, and going for the black and red look first adopted by the character in 2015.

Sure, it's not quite the red costume, but Matt can't be fighting in black rags forever. Give him some armour, and make it striking.
