If there’s something lurking in the shadows, she’s probably already writing about it if she's not too busy watching a tape from her VHS collection. Sign in to your Collider account Rosario Dawson has become one of Marvel's most recognizable supporting players without ever suiting up as a superhero. Across Netflix's Defenders Saga, her portrayal of Claire Temple transformed what could have been a one-off supporting role into one of the franchise's most important recurring characters, connecting Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders through a single compassionate presence. As Marvel Studios has gradually embraced the Defenders corner of the Marvel universe, fans have spent years wondering whether Dawson would eventually get the chance to reprise the role alongside Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock and Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk. With Spider-Man: Brand New Day bringing Peter Parker (Tom Holland) back to a more grounded, street-level corner of New York, the upcoming sequel seemed like a natural place for another familiar face from that world to appear. It turns out that almost happened. Speaking during the Daredevil panel at GalaxyCon, Dawson confirmed that she filmed a scene for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but revealed it ultimately didn't make the finished version of the movie. While reflecting on her Marvel career during the panel, Dawson casually dropped the surprising revelation that she had been part of Marvel Studios' latest Spider-Man movie before her appearance was removed. "I even shot a scene in the new Spider-Man movie, but I got cut out." This is a developing story. Please refresh your page for updates from Collider.
