Actress Kirsten Dunst says she’s open to the idea of doing another “Spider-Man” film with Tobey Maguire.
Dunst, who played Mary Jane Watson in Sam Raimi’s trilogy of “Spider-Man” films from 2002-2007, was originally going to be involved in a fourth film in the series but the movie never got out of development and the property was rebooted with Andrew Garfield becoming the new Spider-Man.
In 2021, after Maguire reprised his Peter Parker role for a supporting part in “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” talk has swirled about the potential return of a fourth film in the Maguire-era continuity.
Adding fuel to that recently was “The Batman Part II” writer Mattson Tomlin who said he pitched an idea for a potential sequel, namely “a Spider-Man 4 where Tobey’s Spider-Man is juggling being a husband and a father. Spider-Man as a father is where I gravitate towards given the last eight films.”
During a recent appearance on The Supes Show, Dunst was aske about Tomlin’s idea and if she would be open to returning as Mary Jane Watson. She said:
“I never have thought about it. But, I don’t know — it’s like, with a question like that, I feel scared to say anything…Yeah, that would be cool, right? I mean, I don’t know if the fans are into it. I feel like that is an interesting movie, right? Me and Tobey doing that again? But with kids?”
Chances of such a film aren’t high as Marvel and Sony are currently busy filming a new Tom Holland-led entry “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” which opens in cinemas next July.
