Now that Spider-Man director Sam Raimi and star Tobey Maguire have closed a deal to make Spider-Man 4 and Spider-Man 5 back-to-back,  Kirsten Dunst is also confirming that she plans to return to the role of Mary Jane Watson. She’d previously stipulated she would not return if Raimi and Maguire weren’t on board. While promoting her new film, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, she spoke to MTV briefly about Spider-Man 4, saying: “I’m in.” However, when pressed to make the announcement official, she backtracked, adding: “I’m not saying anything, I know there’s rumors…”

   sure hope she can fit it all in between her rehabs

   Oh no please don’t use Dunst again. She’s just there for the money and she’s ugly.

   I’m not a fan of Dunst, wouldn’t rush to see a 4th or 5th
   3rd was enough

    Dunst is just in it for the money.

    To be honest, I don’t like either Kirsten OR Tobey in these roles, so I won’t be watching any more sequels.
