Kirsten Dunst has weighed in on a possible return to the Spider-Man franchise following her absence from No Way Home.
The Power of the Dog star was rumoured to reprise her role of Mary Jane Watson – the character she played opposite Tobey Maguire in the Spider-Man trilogy directed by Sam Raimi – in the 2021 movie.

One of the MCU's worst-kept secrets, Tom Holland's latest Spider-Man adventure features cameos from two past iterations portrayed by Maguire and Andrew Garfield, with the latter returning after playing the superhero in The Amazing Spider-Man movies.
When it became pretty clear that the two actors would don the red and blue suit again (despite the many denials), fans started speculating that Dunst and Emma Stone, who portrayed Gwen Stacy opposite Garfield's Peter Parker, could return as well. Sadly, this was not the case.
But it's not over yet.
'There's still time,' Dunst teased in an interview with Deadline, seemingly leaving the door open for a potential future cameo.
'I mean, listen, no one asked me about anything but I do think that... I mean, this multi-universe just keeps going on and on,' she said, before teasing, 'I feel like that could happen.'
And speaking of potential Spidey returns, Dunst's comments come as Andrew Garfield recently revealed if he has any plans to don the iconic suit once again.
