Kirstin Dunst Saying Farewell to MJ?


"UK newspaper, The Daily Express reports that the 26-year old, who has played love interest Mary Jane Watson in all three previous movies, is said to have stalled on agreeing to appear in the fourth, which will again star Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man."

Dunst is allegedly hesitant to jump on board because she wants reassurance the story will be strong and for MJ's character to be equally as prominent in the storyline. Her hesitation is putting Spider-Man's movie franchise on temporary hold. This sounds awfully similar to Halle Berry wanting Storm to be a bigger character in X3, which unfortunately and ultimately sucked (the curse of Marvel's three-quel). At least Halle Berry had the decency not to delay any decisions.

I hate to admit it, but I honestly have no interest in seeing anymore installments of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man if 4 and 5 plan on being extensions of the Spider-Man 3. Spider-Man 1 and 2 made huge leaps forward, bringing credibility to comic films, that they can be taken seriously. Then Spider-Man 3 strolls along, shattering that credibility to a crashing halt!
