The new teaser poster for Marvel’s Daredevil Season 3 hammers home the religious themes and imagery of the Netflix drama with a depiction of Matt Murdock’s mask dangling from a cross, accompanied by the tagline, “Let There Be Darkness.”
Those words a response to the biblical verse cited in the tweet, Job 30:26. Across all translations, the verse amounts to as this: “So I looked for good, but evil came instead. I waited for the light, but darkness fell.”

The tagline continues the theme that seems to be coming from this and the post-credits stinger released with Iron Fist Season 2 finale: Following the events of The Defenders, in which Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) was buried beneath the rubble of Midland Circle, he’s going to embrace the darkness and become the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen full time.

Matt is presumed dead by his friends and allies, but viewers learned in the closing moments of The Defenders that he somehow escaped death, and was being cared for by nuns in a scene plucked straight from the seminal 1986 Marvel Comics storyline “Born Again.”
Daredevil season 3 is coming soon to Netflix. The series stars Charlie Cox, DEborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Joanne Whaley, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Wilson Bethel.
