The full article is [here](http://deadline.com/2018/01/marvels-daredevil-joanne-whalley-netflix-cast-series-1202269118/). I didn’t like the movie _Willow_, but I thought Joanne Whalley was one of the loveliest women in the world. So when I heard she was going to be in Daredevil, I tried to figure out what role she’d take. Elektra was taken. [Typhoid Mary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoid_Mary_(comics))? [Lady Bullseye](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Bullseye)? Nope. She’s going to play _Sister Maggie_. I won’t spoil the character’s significance, but this tells me two things: 1. I’m really frickin’ old! 2. Season 3 could focus on the events in _Born Again_, which is my favorite comic storyline of all time. I can’t wait for Season 3. Any thoughts? ---

Oh, of course. I feel like this storyline was hinted at last season? Or am I wrong? I am kind of hoping season 3 (which will probably be the last season with all the Disney/Netflix/Reboot stuff) branches out of DD history and does something with The Hood or Mr. Negative. ---

Man, I’ll take a hit of whatever you are having if you truly thought she would end up in either of those roles. ---

Netflix owns the rights to those shows jointly with Marvel. I don’t know how long the contract is good for, but it’s going to be complicated and expensive for Disney to pull the rights for those show. ---

_Willow_ is thirty years old. She ain’t no spring chicken anymore. I had such high hopes for these Defenders series, but half of them are not good, and the other half fall short in fundamental ways too. New _Jessica Jones_ soon, though (March 8th). ---

Disagree about the Defenders shows. Iron Fist was bad, and the last 3-4 episodes of Luke Cage could have been better, but other than that, they were very well done and the Defenders mini-series was very entertaining, though limited somewhat by budget from what it could have been.
