The actor played Claire Temple, a recurring character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) TV series, beginning with the first season of Daredevil, before appearing in Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, and The Defenders. Temple is a nurse who treats injured heroes who can’t go to the hospital.
Brand New Day sees Tom Holland’s Spider-Man team up with Jon Bernthal’s The Punisher, another character who first appeared on the small screen. At a recent comic-con appearance, Dawson revealed she too could have made the jump to cinemas in a cameo that ended up on the cutting room floor.
When asked what superhero she would like to work with, Dawson replied: “Well, I’m going to have to say I could have said Spider-Man. I even shot a scene in the new Spider-Man movie, but I got cut out.”
Responding to the audience’s groans, she said: “I know. I told my mom and she was like, ‘That sucks. Now I can’t post the pictures.’ And I was like, ‘Right, mom. me being cut out of the movie that has like the largest viewership of a trailer ever. The issue is you can’t post your BTS photos.’”
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been a massive box office success, passing the $1billion (£742million) mark at the box office just a week after its release.

Recently, actor Jacob Batalon gave his thoughts about the film’s open-ended final scene which has sparked speculation among cinemagoers.
