Production on the third season ofTitansis currently underway following a delayed start due to the pandemic. Now,HBO Maxhas released the first official photo of Anna Diop in the new super-suit for Starfire for next season.
WhenTitansdebuted on the DC Universe streaming service in 2018, a vocal group of fans wasupset by the character’s costume design, which was notably different from the outfit worn by her comic book counterpart. While the second season updated the outfit to make it more suitable for crime-fighting rather than a night out on the town, it still bore little resemblance to the source material’s costume aside from the purple color scheme.

Now, Warner Bros. and DC are inching closer towards bringing Starfire’s comic book suit to life with an updated look from costume designer Laura Jean Shannon. The new design is based on concept art by Gina DeDomenico, a photo of which was included with HBO Max’s post featuring Diop in costume. As with the outfit featured in comics animated shows in which Starfire appears, the new suit has a purple color scheme complemented by green opal accents. However, at what point during the third season ofTitansfans can expect to see Diop don the new suit and under what narrative circumstances is currently unclear.
Diop’s Kory Anders, who has yet to officially assume her Starfire moniker, will be a central figure in the storyline ofTitansseason 3.
