Meet Soledad Temple.

Marvel's Luke Cage series has found its Soledad Temple in Sonia Braga.

According to Marvel.com's announcement, the three-time Golden Globe nominee, whose work includes Kiss of the Spider Woman and Brothers & Sisters, will play the mother of Rosario Dawson's Claire Temple in the upcoming Netflix-exclusive series.
