Marvel are reporting that CLERKS II, KIDS, and SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR star Rosario Dawson has joined the cast of the Netflix housed TV show Daredevil. The show, which will run for an initial 13-episodes, is coming to Netflix in 2015. She joins the already cast Charlie Cox, who plays Matt Murdock, and screen legend Vincent D’Onofrio.
Rosario Dawson will play a dedicated young woman whose quest to heal the wounds of Hell’s Kitchen brings Matt Murdock unexpectedly crashing into her life, while her own journey forever alters the course of his battle against the injustices of this broken city.
“Rosario Dawson is one the most charismatic, talented and powerful actresses in Hollywood, so she was always at the top of our list for ‘Marvel’s Daredevil,’” said Jeph Loeb, Marvel’s Head of Television. “Her role in the series is absolutely critical to Matt Murdock’s journey to become the hero we know as Daredevil.”
The series follows a previous attempt to bring the iconic Marvel character to screens. Ben Affleck played the blinded hero in 2003’s DAREDEVIL.
