Daredevil Sister Maggie Actor On Joining Daredevil: Born Again

Actor Joanne Whalley discusses possibly reprising her Daredevil role as Sister Maggie Grace in the upcoming Disney+ series, Daredevil: Born Again.

Actor Joanne Whalley discusses reprising her Daredevil role on the upcoming Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again. Whalley starred as Sister Maggie Grace, a character introduced in season 3 of the popular Marvel Netflix show. After Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil (Charlie Cox), sustained heavy injuries in The Defenders, Father Paul Lantom (Peter McRobbie) entrusts him to Sister Maggie at the Saint Agnes Orphanage. The titular superhero later learns that Sister Maggie is actually his mother who abandoned him and his father due to post-partum depression.

In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Whalley addresses the possibility of reprising her role for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s new Daredevil show, Daredevil: Born Again. The actor recalls the “great time” she had working on the original series. Read what Whalley says about her desire to reprise her role below:

“I loved Daredevil! I had such a great time on that, oh my God. I haven’t heard anything [about returning], but I would love to get the wimple on again, though. Talking about characters to play again, I loved her.”

Everything We Know About Born Again

As Whalley has yet to receive the call to reprise her role for the new Daredevil show, she joins other cast members still waiting to return to the franchise. They include Deborah Ann Woll, who portrayed Murdock’s assistant Karen Page, Rosario Dawson (Nurse Claire Temple), and Iron Fist star Jessica Henwick (Colleen Wing). However, Vincent D’Onofrio is set to reprise his role in the upcoming show as the villainous businessman and crime lord Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin. He so far is the only person confirmed to return for Daredevil: Born Again in addition to Cox.

Set to hit Disney’s streaming service in 2024 as part of the MCU’s Phase Five, Daredevil: Born Again season 1 will consist of 18 episodes, making it the longest of Disney+’s original Marvel shows thus far. Although little has been revealed regarding the upcoming series’ story, D’Onofrio previously teased that the show will delve further into the characters than ever before and leave viewers on the edge of their seat after each episode. Cox has also suggested Daredevil: Born Again won’t be a direct continuation of the original Netflix show. Unfortunately, how Daredevil: Born Again fits into the greater MCU continuity remains unknown.

Last year’s Hawkeye saw the return of D’Onofrio as Kingpin, but also introduced Maya Lopez/Echo (Alaqua Cox), an antagonist dead set on killing Clint Barton who later comes to question her motives and relationship to Kingpin. The new character is set to receive her own television series in mid-2023 which will also feature Kingpin and Murdock as well. With both hero and villain appearing in various shows on Disney+ before Daredevil: Born Again, Marvel Studios appears to be laying down the foundation for these iconic characters before the show lands on Disney+ in 2024.
