Is Kirsten Dunst going to be in 'Spider-Man 4?'

Honestly, everyone knew there was gonna be a Spider-Man sequel whether we wanted it or not.

Even though she seemed less enthusiastic a year or so ago Kirsten Dunst ("How to lose friends and alienate people") is reportedly interested in reprising her role as Mary Jane in the next Spider-Man film with co-star Tobey Maguire and directed by Sam Raimi.

Splash Page provides the color commentary over at MTV.com.

That initial return reluctance by Dunst is, I believe, based on her awareness that the last Spider-flick ("Spider-Man 3") was a stumbler with some critics and fans. Albeit, a stumbler that made close to billion dollars worldwide. Dunst is said to have only been interested in doing this picture if Raimi and Maguire were back.

I've got her back on that one.

I'm also all for Raimi getting another shot to wow the fans. I loved the first and second films. I wasn't in love with Dunst as Mary Jane, but that didn't concern me much, she did fine.

Even though these sequels are more about commerce for the studios and the rise of the comic book brand in motion pictures, I still want a good story to go along with it.

Good hunting on making another film.
