Kirsten Dunst is open to the idea of doing Spider-Man 4 with Tobey Maguire.
Dunst stars as Mary Jane Watson in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movies, which include 2002’s Spider-Man, 2004’s Spider-Man 2, and 2007’s Spider-Man 3. There were plans to make a fourth film at Sony Pictures and Marvel after that; however, they never came to fruition.
Some Spider-Man fans, however, still want to see Raimi’s Spider-Man 4, especially after Maguire reprised his Peter Parker role in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. Despite there being no announcement about Spider-Man 4 being in development, The Batman Part II writer Mattson Tomlin recently pitched an idea for a potential sequel.
“Honestly right now my main interest in this respect would be to write a Spider-Man 4 where Tobey’s Spider-Man is juggling being a husband and a father,” Tomlin said. “Spider-Man as a father is where I gravitate towards given the last 8 films.”
What did Kirsten Dunst say about Spider-Man 4?
During a recent appearance on The Supes Show, Dunst was asked what she thought about Tomlin’s idea and if she would be open to returning as Mary Jane Watson should Spider-Man 4 start moving forward.
“I never have thought about it,” Dunst answered. “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?”
While the future of another Spider-Man movie with Maguire and Dunst remains up in the air at this time, there is another MCU flick with Tom Holland’s Peter Parker in the works. That film, titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is currently in production and will be released on July 31, 2026.
