Is Rosario Dawson coming back to Daredevil: Born Again?

A new report suggests she might be. According to industry insider Daniel Richtman, Rosario Dawson is reportedly being eyed to return as Claire Temple in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3.

Marvel has not officially confirmed this yet, but with production on Season 3 expected to begin in Spring 2026—just as Season 2 premieres on Disney+—it is clear Marvel Studios is planning long-term for its street-level corner of the MCU.

Dawson previously appeared across all three seasons of Netflix’s Daredevil, along with Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, and The Defenders. She became known as the vigilantes’ trusted medic, often referred to as the “Night Nurse.”

Why would Claire Temple return now?

Season 1 of Born Again ended with Mayor Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) tightening his grip on New York City. With vigilantes being hunted and martial law declared, someone like Claire Temple would be more important than ever.

If Daredevil, Punisher, and Jessica Jones are forced to operate underground, they will need off-the-books medical support. Claire has always been the emotional glue connecting these characters, so bringing her back makes perfect narrative sense.

Additionally, rumors persist that Dawson may appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day later this year. If true, Marvel is actively weaving these street-level characters into a larger, interconnected story against Kingpin.

Which Netflix-era actors are confirmed for Season 3?

The core cast is already stacked for the upcoming seasons:

• Charlie Cox returns as Matt Murdock/Daredevil.
• Vincent D’Onofrio continues his reign as Mayor Wilson Fisk.
• Jon Bernthal is back as The Punisher (though his Season 3 status is unconfirmed).
• Krysten Ritter returns as Jessica Jones in Season 2, signaling a broader revival.
• Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page) and Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson) remain central to Matt’s emotional arc.

Could this lead to a full Defenders reunion?

That is the bigger question. With Jessica Jones back in Season 2 and Claire Temple potentially returning for Season 3, Marvel appears to be rebuilding the connective tissue of the Netflix era.

If Season 3 adds Claire Temple to an already growing roster, Daredevil: Born Again may quietly become the foundation for a full-scale Defenders revival inside the MCU. For longtime fans, that possibility alone makes Season 3 one of the most exciting Marvel projects currently in development.
