Rumors about the appearance of all the actors who played Spider-Man for Spider-Man: No Way Home came true. The MCU tape managed to bring together the trio of iconic protagonists to hit us very hard with nostalgia, since years had passed since we last saw Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire don the wall-crawler's suit.
Especially striking was the return of the interpreter who gave life to Peter Parker in the 2000s, although Mary Jane Watson was missing from the equation, the character's unforgettable partner. If she had appeared in Jon Watts' film, it would have been Kirsten Dunst who would have filled that role, but that didn't happen.
And if we didn't see it on the big screen it wasn't because of the actress' lack of desire. In an interview with GQ, Dunst was asked if she was asked to be part of the cast of Spider-Man: No Way Home and she has made it clear that no one contacted her, but that “he would have done it.” Of course, it seems that everything was due to a creative decision, since MJ's return would probably have also meant the return of Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy.
On the other hand, Dunst thinks that 2002's Spider-Man “was more innocent. Sam Raimi was like a cult director, so it seemed like we were making an indie movie disguised as a superhero movie.” She has taken a stand on that path of experimentation, as she is quite interested in the relationship between Parker and MJ returning.
“Okay, let's take Tobey (Maguire) and me and do it in a weird indie way where it's like a different kind of superhero movie. Like they did in the movie Chronicle. It could be great,” the artist explained.
