    The word early on from Sam Raimi was that he wasn't sure if Kirsten Dunst would return as Mary Jane.  He said several times that he would love for her to be back but wasn't sure if it would happen.  Now it appears that she will definitely return. 

    According the the NY Post, producer Todd Black answered a few questions regarding the next Spider-Man movie.  He said Dunst is "definitely on board."  He also shot down the rumor that the movie would see the marriage between Peter and Mary Jane.  Black also said that Morbius will not be the villain (as speculated by several online sources).  Who could the villain be?  Black had this to say:
    We're just coming up with who the villain's going to be now. We'll be shooting in New York again. Trust me, people will appreciate who we pick, because it'll be a big part of New York.

    What do you think?  What villain is a "big part of New York"?  Maybe Kingpin?  I don't know if I'd "appreciate" that.

    Doesn't Fox own the rights to Kingpin?

    Lizard might make sense, due to the "Gators in the sewers" rumour.

    Poor Lizard, I don't know if he's ever going to get his chance.  He has the New York angle but also the Flordia Everglades thing (in the comic).  I don't see Kingpin as a big draw.  But who else has a big NY presence?

    As far as Dunst, I think she's okay as an actress but as Mary Jane...?

    Well re-casting MJ could over-shadow Tobey Maguire's terrible acting. I guess they thought it would feel kind of lopsided if they hired a good actress. Looks like my prediction of another unwatchable Spider-Man movie is well on its way to being realized. Excellent.

    I think you are on the right track!  If it isn't  Kingpin, your choice is one character that fits the criteria. 

    Personally, I'm not too keen on Black Cat,  but it'd give an interesting angle.  It will probably be her and then Mary Jane will get caught in a triangle, yadda yadda,more "romance" b.s. *ugh*

    Why Kirsten Dunst is allowed to return is beyond me, she's bad mouthed the Spider-Man movies since day one, complaining about something or another.   Plus, she's AWFUL as Mary Jane.

    She's more of a skank than an attractive model, as MJ is portrayed as being.  Kind of disappointing news, actually.  Unless Lizard pops up, maybe Chameleon or Scorpion?

    they should do the lizard cause Curt conners' lost his arm in the third movie! they should at least show a little bit of him at the end of the movie to show him as the villain. Kinda like what they did with sam sterns in THE INCREDIBLE HULK

    Lizard and Mysterio for villains!

    I'm glad they aren't replacing MJ. I don't like when they chance the cast unless they are rebooting the series.

    They could have casted her better, but she hasn't ruined any of the movies for me. Spider-Man 3 was the only one I was really disappointed with and that was due to too much going on in it, not Mary Jane. And I think it would disappoint me more recasting her then having her in it now.

    I don't really understand all the hate. She may not be the best option for MJ, but she's certainly suitable. Off the top of my head, I don't know who I would pick instead.

    Mary Jane should have been hotter, more of a flirt, and less whiny. But it still didn't ruin the movies for me, I loved the first two. I even enjoyed the second one action wise though the story pissed me off. And I just can't stand recasts.

    Ok, well if there will be no Wedding I can not see any reason for her to come back except for a tragic death scene. As for the villain I think it may be the return of Norman Osborn, with his son now dead there is no one else left to run the company (well a main character anyway).

    Not in any creepy or pervo way, Babs, I agree with your sentiment.  Surprised to hear a female fan say it, it validates my line of thinking as it is. 

    This is a major sticking point (pun intended) that irritated me about the Spidey movies.  Dunst, yeah, not bad, but NOT great.  MJ is GREAT.

    Is it impossible to find an actress to portray MJ as she is in the comics?   Is the way MJ portrayed unrealistic?  I don't think it is, and I've had probs with Dunst as MJ, it just doesn't work for me.

    I'm just so glad she's gonna be in the 4th movie! The original cast All the Way Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    (The third movie wasn't bad because of her. It was the director not listening to himself, and trying just to be a crowd pleaser.)

    im def down with dunst playing maryjane, i think she does a good job. shes real pretty, not pretty enough, but its still cool. she plays the character well



    ug, please no kingpin. i think hes not good for a spidey movie. or any movies honestly. i love carnage, although they might not do a great job, i mean i wasnt in love with the movie venom :/ what about clone saga? its a joke, a joke! calm down. or one more day? another joke, seriously calm down!!! ok for real tho i think the identity thing could be cool w/ prodigy and ricochet and stuff. or maybe hobgoblin, if they did him right. i really dont know tho. i guess well just have to see

    And what wrong with the Kingpin?     (And why didn't I think of him b4?)
    Maybe not for this one but definitely one of the other 2 because Kingpin = Sinister 6

    I watched Spider-Man 3 on Encore 2day, I've changed my mind about Dunst, not that I hated her before just thought they could get someone hotter this time. But that's not important, she's a good actress.

    @G-Man: I totally agree with you on Kristen Dunst, nice actress but she is no Mary Jane. Far as a major villain goes for the next movie, Prof. Conners would be a bad choice for me since the down played him through three movies - It would be interesting to see Conner's Lizard character developed if they decide to use him though. 

    But think about this... Since MJ is an actress why not bring Mysterio in to the mix since he is an actor/stuntman, I wouldn't make him the major villain but it would be cool to have him as part of a sub plot with the next movie.

    wait, I think I got it, the villain is going to be Hydro-man, I can see it now "Spider-man 4, Minor Wet Inconveniance" haha, no, im just kidding, but seriously, that Black Cat idea does sound pretty cool, maybe they could actually get a good female actress for the Spider-man series too, that would be a first
