British actress Joanne Whalley is heading to Hell’s Kitchen for the third season of Daredevil, currently shooting in New York.

She will play Sister Maggie, a strong-willed nun who speaks her mind and cares deeply about Matt Murdock’s safety. She joins returning cast including, Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson), as well as Vincent D’Onofrio reprising his role as Wilson Fisk.

Fans of the original comics will know that Sister Maggie has an even deeper connection with Matt – which we won’t spoil here.

“We are big fans of Joanne’s work and are fortunate that someone of her calibre will be joining our already talented family,” said Jeph Loeb, Executive Producer and Marvel’s Head of Television.

“Joanne is a rare talent and a terrific creative collaborator,” added Erik Oleson, Showrunner and Executive Producer. “Watching her bring her role to life has the writers all pinching ourselves.”
