trivia: From 2019 to 2022, Booker was in a relationship with actress Rosario Dawson, who played Claire Temple in five of the six Defenders-related shows.
Defender DNA: Marvel tried to replicate its Avengers success on the small screen by launching four individual hero shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist) and then combining the characters in the crossover mini-series The Defenders, spending big for some A-list co-stars. The shows were popular, leading to one spin-off in The Punisher, but many fans didn't realize just how well-connected the various actors were to other famous people. Now that we're catching up with The Defenders in The MCU Project, let's take this week to guess the relatives and partners of the stars of this corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Similar Goos
