Casting is heating up for Marvel & Netflix's Luke Cage, and let us just say, Rosario Dawson is one in demand lady.

Dawson snagged the role of Claire Temple in Marvel's first foray into the streaming world, and it turns out the benevolent nurse will not only crop up in season 2 of Daredevil, but she will also have a role to play in Jessica Jones AND Luke Cage, according to Deadline.

Claire told Matt Murdock she needed to "get out of the city for a while," but apparently the lure of Hell's Kitchen will have Ms. Temple back far sooner than anyone would have believed.

Will Claire become Cage's love interest? Comic book fans will have to wait and see how the adaptation plays out.

Meanwhile, Theo Rossi may become one of Luke Cage's sinister antagonists. "Relentless and menacing, smooth and manipulative, street smart and controlling," Rossi's character name is officially listed as "Sunny," but Deadline reports the moniker is merely an alias for the villain known as Shades/Alvarez.
