Spider-Man: Homecoming is the sixth solo movie for the wall-crawler and Tom Holland is the third actor to suit up as the character. The movie has been a critical and commercial hit but someone who has no interest in the reboot is Kirsten Dunst. In fact, it was just a month or so ago that she said: "We made the best ones, so who cares? They’re just milking that cow for money. It’s so obvious." Ouch!
Well, Tom Holland has now shared his thoughts on Dunst's comments and it's clear he's not particularly happy about the way the original Mary Jane Watson dismissed the movie without even seeing it.
"You know, she’s entitled to her own opinion and I’m not one to judge at all," he explains. "I definitely am not doing this movie for the money. I mean, it’s a job that I think anyone would do regardless of what you were getting paid, you know? All I know is I had the greatest time on this movie and I absolutely loved it and if she doesn’t want to go and see it, I don’t really care. I don’t dislike her in any way for what she said and she’s entitled to her own opinion, so it’s all cool."
That's a very diplomatic response and much kinder than Holland had to be. Dunst never seemed particularly enthusiastic about her role in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies and her constant role as a damsel in distress was one of the trilogy's biggest issues. She is, of course, entitled to her opinion but do you think she went a tad too far here? And what do you guys make of Holland's response?
