Sometimes the most exciting MCU news is about a scene you never saw. Rosario Dawson has revealed she filmed a cameo for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and it hints at where Marvel might go next with its Netflix heroes.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day: Cut Cameo
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Actor | Rosario Dawson |
| Character | Claire Temple (from Netflix’s Marvel shows) |
| Film | Spider-Man: Brand New Day |
| Co-Star in Scene | Tom Holland as Peter Parker |
| Status | Filmed, but cut from the final film |
| Revealed At | GalaxyCon panel in Raleigh, North Carolina |
What Was the Scene?
Dawson said at GalaxyCon that she shot a scene with Tom Holland, then learned it was removed. According to The Direct, Claire would have appeared in an early sequence after Spider-Man fought Michael Mando’s Scorpion during his “Spider-puberty.” Peter would have crossed paths with her while checking on officers injured in that fight. No further details were shared. Dawson added that she’d happily return to the role if the chance comes.
Marvel’s Growing Netflix Connection?
This isn’t the first time the MCU has borrowed from its Netflix era:
- Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021): Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock appeared as Peter’s lawyer, without a Daredevil suit.
- Brand New Day: Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle/Punisher played a supporting role, his first Marvel movie appearance in 18 years, and his first MCU outing outside Netflix or Disney+ projects.
- Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: an episode featured Cox as Daredevil on Disney+.
The Direct notes the film is already a big hit and marks an unusual crossover event for the franchise.
What Fans Want Next?
| Dream Crossover | Why Fans Want It |
|---|---|
| Spider-Man and Daredevil in costume | Both are New York street-level heroes who share a few enemies |
| Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin in a movie | Fans want a Holland vs. D’Onofrio face-off, and Kingpin is one of Marvel’s best hero/villain pairings |
| Claire Temple’s return | Her last MCU appearance was Luke Cage Season 2 in 2018 |
D’Onofrio has pushed for a big-screen Kingpin role for years, though he has said rights issues may have gotten in the way. His character was recently removed from his position as Mayor of New York, which could open a door.
Why It Matters?
If Marvel was willing to film a Claire cameo, the studio is clearly open to pulling more characters from the Netflix shows. With the MCU moving from Phase 6 toward Phase 7, there’s plenty of room for more crossovers.
