Rosario Dawson Signs Exclusive TV Contract with Marvel and Netflix
It's no secret that we're huge fans of Marvel's Daredevil, with dear old Alex Katz bluntly stating the series is "Marvel's best [and] most important work." While re-watching the season finale late last week, my friends and I noted just how perfect the casting is from Vincent D'Onofrio's pitch perfect Wilson Fisk to Charlie Cox's noble Matt Murdock to even Elden Henson's Foggy Nelson (BASH BROTHERS!). One surprising highlight was Rosario Dawson's turn as Claire Temple, a trained nurse who tends to Daredevil's injuries. While she only appeared in a handful of episodes, Dawson added extra pizazz and slight star power to the show.
It only makes sense, then, that Marvel and Netflix would want to bring the talented actress back for more. Over the weekend, Deadline announced that Dawson will be returning for the second season of Marvel's Daredevil. What's more, she's entering an exclusive TV contract that opens up the possibilities for her to appear in Netflix and Marvel's other upcoming shows.
Nobody will ever complain about Rosario Dawson getting more screen time, and it helps that her Marvel character is not only intriguing, but can easily fit into the other upcoming series. Marvel's Daredevil Season 2 is slated for a 2016 return, so it won't be too long until we get to revisit Claire's healing powers.
