DAREDEVIL Season 3 Adds WILLOW Actress Joanne Whalley As Sister Maggie - Matt Murdock's Mother
The latest addition to the cast of the third season of Marvel and Netflix's Daredevil is Joanne Whalley (formerly Joanne Whalley-Kilmer). She'll play Sister Maggie, who also happens to be Matt's mother...
In the final moments of The Defenders, it was revealed that Daredevil has survived his encounter with The Hand and was being nursed back to health in a convent. This led to speculation that the third season of The Man Without Fear's solo series would adapt Frank Miller's "Born Again" comic arc, and this latest bit of casting news may just confirm it.
Deadline reports that Joanne Whalley will play "the steel spined Sister Maggie," who will attempt to get Matt Murdock back in fighting form when the show returns. The fact that she also happens to be his mother should make things very interesting indeed.
Most recently, Whalley has appeared in the likes of Wolf Hall and Gossip Girl, but fans of Ron Howard's 1988 fantasy adventure Willow will probably know her best as Sorsha.
Daredevil season 3 doesn't have an official premiere date yet, but we do know that Erik Oleson will be taking over as showrunner.
