In the first two seasons of Titans, Kory Anders, aka Starfire, battled the bad guys in whatever she was wearing at the time. But now that the character is about to uncover the mysteries of her past, she needs some cool superhero gear just like her teammates.
With Anna Diop playing the first-ever live-action Starfire, the new costume represents the first physical suit created for the DC Comics character.
Designed Laura Jean Shannon, HBO Max shared a full-length photo of the costume on social media. This was accompanied by an image of Gina DeDomenico’s concept art.

In addition to the new suit, Starfire is getting a big story arc in season three. In a recent interview with TV Line, Titans executive producer Greg Walker shared a bit of what’s in store for the character.
“We’re planning a big season for Kory this year. The arrival of her sister/nemesis, Blackfire launches Kory down a path where she uncovers both secrets about her past and clues to her destiny. All of which will lead to her true calling as Starfire. Plus, we have a few other surprises in store for hardcore Starfire fans this season.”
Anna Diop has portrayed Kory Anders/Starfire since Titans began in 2018. She stars alongside Brenton Thwaites as Dick Grayson, Teagan Croft as Rachel Roth, Ryan Potter as Garfield Logan, Curran Walters as Jason Todd and Conor Leslie as Donna Troy – with Minka Kelly as Dawn Granger and Alan Ritchson as Hank Hall.
The show also features Joshua Orpin as Superboy, Chelsea Zhang as Rose Wilson, Chella Man as Jericho, Drew Van Acker as Aqualad, Esai Morales as Deathstroke and Iain Glen as Bruce Wayne.
The third season of Titans is currently in production, and will stream exclusively on HBO Max. A release date has yet to be announced.
