Sister Margaret (New MCU)

Sister Margaret (Margaret Murdock)

Portrayed by Alex Kingston

Sister Margaret enters the New MCU with a knowing smile and a past sharp enough to cut through stone. Alex Kingston infuses the role with wit, defiance, and hard-earned grace; a woman who chose faith not out of weakness, but as an act of discipline. Her presence is calm, her humor dry, her eyes alert. She listens more than she speaks, and when she does, it’s often with a raised eyebrow and an unsettling certainty that she already knows the truth.

Once an elite assassin, Margaret vanished from a life of violence and reemerged in the Church, burying her skills beneath vows and ritual. The transition did not dull her edge; it refined it. She believes in mercy, but she understands force. She prays daily, and keeps her hands ready. Beneath the habit is a strategist who reads rooms instantly, a protector who measures threats without fear.
