Rosario Dawson is set to star in Marvel’s new “Daredevil” series for Netflix. Dawson joins a cast that includes Charlie Cox (“Boardwalk Empire”) as blind attorney turned superhero Matt Murdock and Vincent D’Onofrio as his nemesis Kingpin.

In the 13-episode series, Dawson plays a beautiful, large-breasted woman aiding the downtrodden in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen. Her commitment to those filthy miscreants leads to a fateful encounter with Murdock’s Daredevil alter ego.

Marvel head of television Jeph Loeb said:

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.’ Her role in the series is absolutely critical to Matt Murdock’s journey to become the hero we know as Daredevil.

Dawson, who made her acting debut in Larry Clark’s fucked up indie drama Kids, has starred in a string of notable genre offerings, including Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City, Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men in Black II, D.J. Caruso’s Eagle Eye, and Danny Boyle’s Trance, in which she performs one of the most memorable, eye-popping fully nude scenes ever.

Dawson will next be seen in Rodriguez’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, in theaters Aug. 22.
