VIDEO : As Rosario Dawson Exits ?New Mutants,? Fox Hires Alice Braga To Play Dr. Reyes

If you thought it seemed a little weird that Rosario Dawson would be pulling double duty in the Marvel universe as different characters in Netflix?s The Defenders and Fox?s X-Men spin-off New Mutants ? especially since she?d be planning a medical professional in both roles ? the incongruity just cleared itself up. The Hollywood Reporter has learned Dawson has exited the project for unknown reasons. In her place, Queen of The South star Alice Braga will take on the role initially offered to Dawson. Braga will play the mutant known as Dr. Cecilia Reyes. A medical doctor and surgeon, Dr. Reyes can conjure a ?bio-field? to protect herself from harm.
