Rosario Dawson Isn’t Sure If She’ll Return To Marvel Netflix Shows
Indiewire reports that during a panel at the Tribeca TV Festival, Rosario Dawson said she wasn’t sure if she would be back for future Marvel shows on Netflix after her final scene in Luke Cage season two. Here are highlights:
On playing Claire Temple: “I got offered this role to play a nurse, and I knew from my nerdy friends that she was a cool character. But I was like, ‘I’ve never heard of her, she doesn’t have powers.’ She’s got like MacGyver powers — your arm’s bleeding out, okay, here’s some alcohol and floss.”
On her final scene in Luke Cage: “I felt really grateful, because Cheo Hodari Coker was the showrunner, and it was kind of looking like, at least for that season, who knows if I’ll come back again? This was looking like it was going to be a big final scene for Claire, and it was really as a culmination of three years and being on five different shows.”
On getting to add to the scene: “When the scene was first written, to be honest, it was a little bit more written on his side and his storyline and that kind of stuff. And I approached Cheo and had the audacity of adding some lines and rewriting some stuff and asked him if that could work.”
