It seems that Rosario Dawson is very busy at the moment; as we wait to see her on screen in The Mandalorian as Ahsoka Tano, she has signed up to play Alma Ortega in DC’s DMZ.
Marvel TV actress Rosario Dawson will switch her allegiance for an upcoming adaptation of DC Comics title DMZ.
According to Entertainment Weekly, this limited event series will be an HBO Max and Warner Bros. Television production from Ava DuVernay and Roberto Patino.
If you’re unfamiliar with the comic, DMZ anchors in a near-future USA which is in the midst of its second civil war, and isolated from the rest of the world.
Dawson is onboard as Alma Ortega, a “fearless and fierce” medic who embarks on a heart-rending journey to reunite with her lost son.
On the outskirts of this central storyline, the nation’s catastrophic situation is exploited by powerful gangs, including one commanded by the ruthless Parco Delgado (played by Benjamin Bratt).
DMZ hopes to explore a “stark political and cultural divide in American society”.
