Daredevil is a character known as “the man without fear,” and according to new showrunner Erik Oleson, season 3 of the Marvel-Netflix show is all about conquering fear, and the “narcissistic tyrants” who weaponize it. The New York Comic-Con panel for Daredevil featured Oleson and cast members old and new to the show, all relaying how their characters fit into that tale.
Probably the most important new character in Matt Murdock’s (Charlie Cox) journey of physical and spiritual self-healing is Sister Maggie, who here is portrayed by veteran actress Joanne Whalley. With Sister Maggie as guidance, Matt explores a newfound vulnerability. Cox joked that he believed that his character was already at rock bottom in season 1, but found his character going deeper and deeper during season 2 and The Defenders. The first of several clips shown to attendees had a scene between the two characters, with Matt Murdock physically broken, and Sister Maggie expresses her shock that Matt, who was taken in by Sister Maggie as a child, was the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen as she tends to his wounds. When children try to approach Matt, he scares them off. “What happened to you?” the children ask. “Life,” replies Matt Murdock.
