Kirsten Dunst doesn’t remember much about the planned Spider-Man 4 but acknowledges the franchise’s vastness.
Dunst was open to appearing in Spider-Man: No Way Home but wasn’t asked to return as Mary Jane.
Both Dunst and Sam Raimi have expressed doubts about making a fourth Spider-Man film with the original cast.

Kirsten Dunst, the actress who brought Mary Jane Watson to life in Sam Raimi’s beloved Spider-Man trilogy, has weighed in on the possibility of reprising her iconic role in a potential fourth installment of the series.

Will Kirsten Dunst Return as Mary Jane in Spider-Man 4?

In a recent interview with British GQ, Dunst addressed the plans for a fourth Spider-Man film that ultimately fell through before production could begin. While she couldn’t recall specific details, Dunst acknowledged the vast nature of the Spider-Man franchise, leaving the door open for a potential return.

“I remember, we were going to make another Spider-Man 4,” she said. “I think we were, I can’t remember, to be honest. We’ll see what happens. I mean, that universe is very open. It’s anything. So, for me to be in a Spider-Man movie again, or something, is possible, I guess.”

No Invitation for Spider-Man: No Way Home

Dunst’s comments come after she previously expressed her willingness to reprise the role of Mary Jane in Spider-Man: No Way Home, the multiversal crossover film that saw Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker reunite with his former love interests. However, Dunst revealed that she was never approached to appear in the film.

Despite leaving the door open for a potential return, both Dunst and Raimi have expressed doubts about the necessity of a fourth Spider-Man film featuring the original cast. In a separate interview with IndieWire, Dunst questioned the need for a fourth installment, stating, “I don’t think we need that. I don’t know. It was so long ago.”
