Matt Murdock’s Workout Plan

We’ve tried to remain professional for as long as we could. We’ve waxed poetic about fight choreography, shot tracking, and character building, but enough is enough. Let’s get to the real point of this slideshow: to praise Matt Murdock’s new workout regimen, because boy is it working.

We’re treated to plenty of shirtless Charlie Cox screentime this season as he recuperates, gets beaten to a pulp, then recuperates again. We have to give credit where credit is due, though, because the guy got into amazing shape for the role. It’s only fair we appreciate his hard work by dedicating a moment to take in his hard-earned masterpiece.

Cox has always been able to fill out a suit, but it looks like the actor bulked up to play this grittier version of the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. We’re treated to more views of a battered Matt in the first few episodes than ever before as the crusader has his Rocky-moment, slowly getting back in fighting shape. It’s a quick montage to be sure – plenty of fans would probably love for Cox to remain shirtless for the entirety of this show – but it’s enough for us to appreciate the lengths the actor went to in order to give us an authentic street hero we can swoon over … we mean, root for.
