Teased at the end of The Defenders but by no means confirmed, it's likely that Daredevil Season 3 will pick up with Matt at a Hell's Kitchen church, surrounded by the local nuns.

The shot in the finale of that series actually served as a clever nod to one of Born Again's most iconic panels, and though Sister Maggie - who turns out to be Matt's mother in the comics - isn't shown in person, it's a given that she'll appear later this autumn, following on from one of the nuns asking another to "get Maggie, [and] tell her he’s awake."

Though Miller's comic didn't dedicate too much time to the exploration of Maggie's character, the casting of Joanne Whalley in the role should mean that the reverse is true when it comes to the show. There's plenty of potential to be had in exploring her character, and with both seasons of Daredevil having utilised flashback to examine Matt's younger days, it wouldn't be out of the question to see more of the hero's childhood this time around.
