The burning question on everyone’s mind going into Marvel’s DaredevilSeason 3 was: How exactly did Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) survive the Midland Circle building collapsing on top of him at the end of The Defenders?
The end of the Defenders finale revealed Matt survived and was being nursed in a mysterious well-lit room, but even though Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist have all aired new seasons since Defenders, we’ve learned nothing of how Matt survived.
The opening scenes of Daredevil Season 3 reveal that Matt was knocked unconscious by the debris of the building collapsing, but his lifeless body was carried by a current to a drain pipe under the building.
And yes, that will prove to not be a great decision on his part later in the season.
