Why Mary Hallet From The Lost Pirate Kingdom Looks So Familiar
By Matthew Martinez
If you do recognize Sinead MacInnes' face, you've got a sharp eye, as it was mostly seen in full habit when she appeared in Netflix's wild comic book adaptation Warrior Nun. That hyper-violent delight made its way to the platform in 2020, and found an orphaned teen (Alba Baptista) waking from death to discover the divine artifact embedded in her person has bequeathed her superpowers that allow her to join a secretive order of nuns who spend their days hunting and killing Earth-bound demons.
Yes, Warrior Nun (based on a comic book series from Ben Dunn) is every bit as bonkers as it sounds. And yes, it's every bit as fun, with the series providing enough stylized gun-slinging action, pulp-tinged storytelling, and theological sojourns to suit the bloodlust and brain-craves of every small screen viewer. But even as the butt-kicking Sisters of the Ancient Order of the Cruciform Sword all shed their share of blood in Warrior Nun's ten season 1 episodes, few did so with quite as much verve and unabashed joy as the aptly named Sister Crimson.
That was indeed Sinead MacInnes portraying the venomous, blood-loving Sister who eventually (and unsuccessfully) led a full blown Reject Nun rebellion against the Mother Superion (Sylvia De Fanti) and the Cruciform Sword faithful. Unfortunately, MacInnes' time on Warrior Nun was pretty limited, as said rebellion was eventually quashed with impunity. Even in such a limited time, however, MacInnes made the most of the moment, imbuing her character with a fallible (if near psychotic) humanity, and showing some serious action chops to boot.
Of course, given the way things turned out for Sister Crimson it seems unlikely she'll return for season 2 of Warrior Nun, but one can hope.
