To back up quickly: We know that Starfire's sister Blackfire (Damaris Lewis) has usurped the throne on their homeworld of Tamaran, and we know that Lewis has been promoted to a series regular for season three. As the story for Titans begins to circle around a familiar past for Starfire, fans have hoped that they'd get to see Diop play new sides of the character. And sure enough, a few weeks back, cinematographer Boris Mojsovski shared an image of Diop as Starfire on Instagram, teasing an updated new look. This was the first glimpse, for Titans fans, of the new vibe Starfire would be bringing to the upcoming third season.
Now, HBO Max has tweeted a new image of Diop in the costume above, which looks a lot more like what we're used to seeing from Starfire — and fans are excited. As user @TheTJArtist tweeted in response, "Suit looks great and wig looks amazing! It's shocking to be able to say I love the hair. I can't wait to see how the special effects for her powers will look. Love this character and talented actress. She has great screen presence."
Diop's season one costume was a source of some controversy, but it seems all is forgiven. "The people who do the costumes on this show deserve a raise" writes Twitter user @SithMorrison.
"the costumes in this show are beautiful, dc fans keep winning," tweeted @TheBearded_Jake
If Diop's new costume is anything to go on, fans may be in for a much brighter, more exciting Titans, now that the series is on HBO Max. The third season is set to air in 2021.
