Rosario Dawson Returning For Marvel's LUKE CAGE; SONS OF ANARCHY Actor Also Joins

When Marvel signed an actress as big as Rosario Dawson to join the cast of Daredevil, we knew there was no way she'd only appear in that one series alone. She's already set to show up again in Jessica Jones opposite Krysten Ritter, as well as in Daredevil season 2, and now we have confirmation that she'll continue to show up in the Marvel Universe beyond that. Deadline reports that the actress will reprise her role of Claire Temple on Netflix's upcoming Luke Cage, the third original Marvel series that will debut on the streaming service. 

Mike Colter will star in the show as the title character, a "wrongly accused man who, granted strength by a sabotaged experiment, escapes prison to become a superhero for hire." Like Dawson, he'll make his first appearance in the Marvel Universe in a different Netflix show, because he's also showing up in Jessica Jones when that debuts later this year. Cage and Dawson's Temple have a romantic relationship in the comics, so it seems like a no-brainer that Dawson should play a part in this show.

Meanwhile, Sons of Anarchy star Theo Rossi, who played Juan Carlos "Juice" Ortiz on that series, has also joined the cast of Luke Cage. He'll reportedly play Shades, a character from the comics who served prison time with Cage before becoming a hoodlum for hire. In the comics, he wears a visor that shoots optic blasts, so we'll see if that aspect transfers over to the show or if they try to keep things a little more grounded.
