Marvel Television’s Defendes renaissance is starting to leak over into Marvel Studios’ plans. After rumors swirled last year, a new report seemingly confirms that Rosario Dawson will appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day as Claire Temple, marking her first appearance since the Netflix days.
Claire reportedly serves as the underground medical contact for Peter Parker. With Peter living in anonymity and avoiding traditional hospitals, Claire is the only person he can turn to when the biological mutations—and the bruises from a rampaging Hulk—become too much to handle.
According to Jeff “The In” Sneider’, Claire’s clinic is where Peter and Frank Castle first cross paths, setting up the unlikely alliance that carries the film’s second act.
Bringing back Claire Temple is an interesting choice for the studio that recently rebranded to make fans feel like they could escape the interconnectedness of its interconnected cinematic universe. It rewards the long-term fans of the street-level shows while giving Peter a much-needed civilian anchor who understands the cost of being a hero. Between Bernthal and Dawson, the Netflix DNA is officially part of the backbone of the new Spidey trilogy.
