SPIDER-MAN Star Kirsten Dunst Denies Rumors She'll Return As Mary Jane In SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME

Kirsten Dunst is the original big screen Mary Jane Watson, playing the character in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. Will she return alongside Tobey Maguire in No Way Home? According to the actress, no!

The Spider-Man: No Way Home rumours continue to swirl thick and fast, and something tells us we won't know which ones are true (and false) until we're sitting in theaters on December 17. It has previously been reported that Spider-Man star Kirsten Dunst will reprise the role of Mary Jane Watson, and she commented on the rumor during a recent interview with Total Film

Before we get to that, it obviously goes without saying that the actress wouldn't turn around and confirm her involvement! However, Dunst does seem pretty adamant she won't be back as MJ. 

"I haven't seen any of them. I don't watch superhero movies, though," she responded when asked about Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies. "I don't watch anything like that, It's just not my kind of movie. I can't tell you the last time I saw one. I think I saw maybe Captain America with my friend in a theater, which was - what? - a long time ago when that first came out. I just don't watch them."

Asked if we can expect to see her in No Way Home, Dunst replied: "I'm not in that movie, no [laughs]. I know there's rumors, right? No, I'm the only one [not in it]. Can't put an old girl in there!"

It would be a shame to bring Tobey Maguire back and not catch up with Mary Jane at the same time, but not even he's been confirmed for the movie at this point! There are certainly ways around Dunst not reprising the role, especially if we only spend time with the Variant Spider-Men in the MCU.

Looks like we'll find out when Spider-Man: No Way Home is released in theaters next month.

On one hand, I do kind of believe her....on the other hand, she literally wouldn't be able to say anything because of NDA lmaooooo.

Either way, we will find out soon enough! I am personally not expecting her in it, but would have loved a little flashback to her and Tobey right before he goes to Holland's world or something.

@Menks123 - well, if you believe the leaks it says that she’s in it. But I’m going with your approach and wait til it comes out. Lol

@WruceBayne - Yeahhhhh, at this point anyone can appear between this and Strange 2 ahaha.

If anything, i'd imagine it'd be a 3 min scene between her and Tobey which would be nice but not needed imo.

I'd believe that. Really don't know how she'd fit in beyond a cameo considering all the craziness going on.

If she or Stone was in it, there would have been a leak or two about it already.

There was a leak for who's going six feet deep, glad I avoided that one. Then again it's probably fake, but I wouldn't know haha

Only one not in it you say?

So I can hold on to the hope of seeing Manganiello's Flash and Franco's Harry doing an Eiffel Tower Double stuff to Rosemary Harris' Aunt May?

@JFerguson - don't be ageist. Nonagenarians need lovin' too. Why not 2 younger studs.

Plus, she's probably rockin' dentures. She pops em out and the yummy gummy comes into play.

Good.



Y'all dunk on MCU Spider-Man for not mentioning Uncle Ben when the nostalgia squad hype up the films with the chick that got Uncle Ben killed because Peter wanted to impress a gold digger.
