Marvel.com just announced super-awesome Rosario Dawson is joining the cast of their Netflix Daredevil series. Who is she playing? Well we don’t have a character name just yet but they describe her thusly, “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.”

Please let her be a superhero, please let her be a superhero, please let her be a superhero. I’ll leave you to speculate.

The last we heard about this project, the also super-awesome Vincent D’Onofrio joined the cast as Kingpin. Charlie Cox is playing Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil.

“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.”

So, any guesses?  She could be an entirely new character, of course.
