Fans Are Loving Kirsten Dunst's Reason Why She Would Return to the Superhero Scene

From the audience's point of view, Dunst's honest answer is a stark contrast to the usual Hollywood facade. Having sailed through the ebbs and flows of fame since her early days, Dunst has made it clear that she isn't looking to ride the superhero wave for clout. Instead, she's eyeing the future for roles that might resonate with her, all while keeping her family's well-being in the foreground.

"I don't want to take my kid out of school for a role unless I cannot say no, and it's that incredible," she stated, reflecting a sentiment many a working parent can attest to. As for the superhero scene, it's shifted dramatically since Dunst's days as MJ. The mantle has passed, from Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy to Zendaya's MJ, each iteration offering a new lens through which to view Peter Parker's world.

Nevertheless, the idea of Dunst's return, whether as an "older Mary Jane" or another caped crusader, isn't just a flight of fancy. It's clear evidence of the enduring appeal of these characters - and the entire Raimi run of Spider-Man - and perhaps a testament to Dunst's own lasting legacy within the superhero genre.

The buzz on social media, where fanboys and haters alike dissect every small detail, has been filled with praise for Dunst's honesty. As one Twitter user accurately put it, "This is the most honest answer this question has ever gotten, and I respect the hell out of it."

The last installment in Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy was released in 2007, and 17 years later, fans remain hopeful for Spider-Man 4against all odds. Though it looks more and more unlikely to happen as the days go by, Raimi has previously expressed that he wouldn't be opposed to directing another Spider-Man film if he received a script he approved of.

Until then, Dunst fans can look forward to her upcoming A24 film, Civil War, which is set to be released in theaters on April 12.
