Marvel (via LA Times) has revealed the first look at actor Chloe Bennet's new Quake costume in AGENTS OF SHIELD Season 3 (see image below). Added to her suit are the gauntlets which help her control her new power and look like they were ripped straight from the comic book art onto your television screen.
Costume designer Ann Foley discussed the new look on Marvel's website.
“I think one of the most important things was that the symbol be incorporated into her costume but especially onto the gauntlets,” relates Foley. “And it’s also on the back of her suit, which was a fun little touch that we added. As far as the silhouette, we wanted to stay true to the comics and pay tribute to those original designs.
“I also wanted to incorporate the gold color that I’ve seen in some of the illustrations of her suit throughout the comics, which is why we have the gold lines that we see on the suit. Finally, for me personally, I wanted a nod to her tactical look from last season, so if you look at the style lines around the top of the costume, you will see that they’re similar to her tactical hood from Season 2.
“I love the gauntlets and that we worked the symbol into the construction on the back of her suit,” Foley remarks. “It’s probably one of the coolest things that we’ve done so far. And the fact that Chloe is so happy with it and that she looks so kick ass in it is a real thrill! It’s great to see Skye’s progression into Daisy Johnson and the suit is just the beginning.”
