Cut Spider-Man: Brand New Day cameo star Rosario Dawson said she had a social media post with her grandson "ready to go" before she found out it was axed
Spider-Man: Brand New Day left a major cameo out of its final cut
Rosario Dawson has addressed her cut Spider-Man: Brand New Day cameo, revealing she had a post ready to go on Instagram before she heard the news. The actor, who plays Claire Temple in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was due to appear in the new film before her part was ultimately left on the editing room floor.
"When I tell you my post was already ready with my BTS, with my grandson wearing all his Spider-Man stuff because he loves Spider-Man, then I got the email," she told the crowd at Galaxy Con recently. "So yeah… No. So I'm a reject of Spider-Man and I'm a reject of the devil's rejects. Like I still love it because everybody's in it. It still means that, you know, my character is somewhere in that same universe. And I really love that. So, I hope I get to be Claire again."
She also revealed that "Spider-Man is really huge" for her because her uncle is a comic book artist who drew the character at one point.
The movie's writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers recently revealed that Claire's cameo took place early in the movie, post Spider-Man's fight with Scorpion. They told The Wrap that Peter Parker ended up in hospital and had a scene with Dawson's Night Nurse.
"The scene they did was a good scene I think the only reason it’s not in the final cut was just it was probably cut for time because it was very good," they explained.
