Page "Kirsten Dunst" Paragraph 21

In 2007 she again played Mary Jane Watson, in Spider-Man 3.

In contrast to the previous two films ' positive reviews, Spider-Man 3 was met with a mixed reception by critics.

Nonetheless, with a total worldwide gross of $ 891 million, it stands as the most commercially successful film in the series and Dunst's highest grossing film to the end of 2008.

Having initially signed on for three Spider-Man films, she revealed that she would do a fourth, but only if Raimi and Maguire also returned.

In January 2010 it was announced that the Spider-Man franchise would be restarted, therefore dropping Dunst, Maguire, and Raimi from the film series.
