Rosario Dawson Says Her ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Cameo ‘Got Cut Out’ and Her Mom Told Her ‘That Sucks’: ‘I Hope I Get to Be Claire Again’
Rosario Dawson has revealed that a cameo she filmed for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" was ultimately cut from the finished film. Dawson plays nurse Claire Temple in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a role she has held since "Daredevil" in 2015, and her cut scene meant a potential reunion with the character within the wider Spider-Man storyline did not make it to screen.
Dawson shared the news at a "Daredevil" fan Q&A alongside Vincent D'Onofrio at GalaxyCon in Raleigh, North Carolina, describing how her mother reacted with disappointment that she could no longer post behind-the-scenes photos. Despite the setback, Dawson said she still hopes to reprise the role of Claire in future, noting that Spider-Man holds personal significance for her family. "Brand New Day," starring Tom Holland, has become the year's highest-grossing film with over $1.6 billion worldwide, reaching $1 billion in just six days.

Explained simply
Claire Temple is a nurse in Marvel’s live-action superhero stories, played by Rosario Dawson since the television series Daredevil began in 2015. The character has appeared across several series linked to the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe, which also includes the Spider-Man films.
Spider-Man is one of Marvel’s best-known heroes, and Tom Holland plays him in the current film series. Claire’s possible appearance would have connected Dawson’s character with that part of the Marvel world, but characters and scenes can be removed as films are shaped for release.
Dawson has said she would like to play Claire again. Her future in the role depends on whether Marvel brings the character into another story.
