In many ways, Spider-Man: No Way Home was full of callbacks to the Spider-Man films of yesteryear, with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield returning to join Tom Holland on screen. Alfred Molina, Willem Dafoe, and Jamie Foxx also return to reprise their roles as villains from previous Friendly Neighbor films.
But one big name who didn't return for the 2021 MCU hit is Kirsten Dunst, who played MJ in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, starring alongside Maguire in all three films. And it's not because she didn't agree to it.
In a recent interview with GQ, Dunst said she would be happy to reprise the role - if asked.
The article states that Dunst hasn't seen The Way Home, so she's not sure how she would feel about MJ and Peter Parker's relationship dynamic, but she does have a vague idea of how she'd like to revisit that relationship.
It would be fun if we took Toby and I and did it in a weird indie style, like it was a different kind of superhero movie. Like in the movie "Chronicles". This could be cool.
Chronicle came out in 2012 and, as Dunst mentions, offered a unique take on the superhero genre just as the MCU was taking off. A found-footage thriller in which three high school students suddenly gain superpowers. The film grossed an impressive $126 million worldwide on a limited budget of $15 million.
