Marvel's The Defenders: 10 Ways It Sets Up Daredevil Season 3
2. Sister Maggie

During those closing moments, fans were treated to a very juicy revelation: that of Matt's mother making an appearance.
The show had previously alluded to Battlin' Jack's wife; he calls her the night before he dies, and the flashback to Stick's adoption of a young Matt brings with it a nun reluctant to discuss the boy's mother. Now though, we can see that Maggie is alive and actively helping Matt get back on his feet, with the last lines of the show having mentioned her name quite deliberately.
In Born Again, Matt's resurgence is onset by his mother, who nurses him back to health in Hell's Kitchen. It's clear that we'll be seeing this recuperation take place at the start of season three, and it's an exciting thought to consider. Maggie will, most likely, be gearing up for a big role next year, and fans will be very curious to see how Matt (and perhaps Elektra) made it out alive during the collapse of the Midland Circle building.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
