This article comes fromDen of Geek UK.
Warning: contains spoilers for all Marvel Netflix shows to date.
But its possible her role is destined to be even more substantial than that.
We cant help but wonder: is she secretly playing a version of the White Tiger?

There are a few things that make us think so.
Its a small beat, but clear setup for her future appearances.
As a Hand-trained fighter, shes officially capable of mounting a solid defence of her own.
But more could be going on.
The choice of weapon clearly wasnt random.
She could have fought with a sword, with a staff, with anything.
Why give her a signature weapon so identifiable and unconventional if they arent hinting at something?
Claire denies it, of course, but Gao isnt wrong in what she tells the others.
Is she also right about Claire?
Shed be a natural fit for that group of characters on screen just as she is in the comics.
Speculation was shot down by various sources, but that doesnt mean it had no basis in reality.
Thats how Ghost Rider ended up onAgents of SHIELD, after all.
That name didnt get pulled out of nowhere.
Of course, at this point its little more than a fan theory.
Theres no reason Claire couldnt become a better fighter without assuming a costumed identity.
Perhaps Rosario Dawson doesnt want an expanded role in the Netflix MCU.
Maybe its something thatll happen afterThe Defenders, rather than before.
But clearly, the pieces are there for it to happen.
Well find out soon whether this is just wishful thinking.
