Kirsten Dunst is "In" for 'Spider-Man 4'...Or is She?

DateTuesday, September 30, 2008 at 12:10AM
A quick show of hands: Who really cares if Kirsten Dunst comes back for Spider-Man 4? Personally, I was done with her somewhere in the middle of Spidey 2, and I thought she was outclassed by Bryce Dallas Howard's Gwen Stacy in the miserable third installment.

But with Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire back on board, the question does seem rather natural. So when Dunst reported to MTV that, "I'm in," that obviously meant she'd have to field follow-ups, which she refused to do.

"I'm not saying anything, I know there's rumors," said a revisionist Dunst, when pressed later on the subject during her publicity duties for How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.

I guess you have to have Mary Jane for the duration; not to spoil anything, but in the comic, Peter Parker eventually marries her, although they've played with the canon rather mercilessly in the movies so far. But there's no point introducing her in the first film if a trip down the aisle isn't in the cards eventually.

I'd say with at least two more movies in the works, we'll see Dunst two more times.

Blah blah blah...

Great is an overstatement. She's been adequate. Either way, if Spidey 4 doesn't get good reviews I'll probably just skip it. The third one was pretty weak, and I'd rather not see another one like it, regardless of who plays the girl.
