Rosario Dawson Confirms: My Spider-Man 4 Cameo Got Cut
Rosario Dawson’s Claire Temple Was Almost in the New Spider-Man Movie — But Got Cut
TL;DR: Actress Rosario Dawson filmed a scene as nurse Claire Temple for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but the moment didn’t make the final cut. The character hasn’t appeared in Marvel projects since the Netflix shows ended.
Who Is Claire Temple?
Claire Temple is a Marvel character played by Rosario Dawson (also known as Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars). Think of her as the "nurse who patches up superheroes" — she’s the friendly medical professional who shows up whenever a hero gets beat up.

- First appearance: Daredevil (Netflix series)
- Crossed over into: Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders
- Total episodes: 32 across the Netflix Marvel shows
- Key relationship: Dated Luke Cage for a while (they later broke up)
