Kirsten Dunst,who plays the role of the beautiful Mary-Jane Watson,Peter Parker's girlfriend,in the third installment of Spider-man,takes time to chat about having another leading lady on the set...
If you remember in the early comics Gwen Stacey is killed by the Green Goblin(Amazing Spider-man #121).
In the first Spider-man movie, the Goblin drops Mary-Jane to her death, only to be angered in dis-belief,after Spidey's quick heroics rescues the damsel in dis-stress.
In the Comic Book Gwen Stacy isn't so lucky. I believe that Mary-Jane was used in the Origon of Spider-man due to her popularity during the generation gaps. So it will be intresting to see how Rami's version of Gwen Stacey up-holds to the comic book story line.
There’s a new lady in Peter Parker’s life and Mary Jane Watson wouldn’t have it any other way.
Wizard caught up with Kirsten Dunst, who takes her third turn as playing Peter Parker’s girlfriend, Mary Jane Watson, in “Spider-Man 3.” Here’s what Dunst had to say about the newest female in the franchise, Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays Gwen Stacey, who reportedly catches the eye of Peter Parker, causing him to stray.
“It’s exciting. I loved working with Bryce,” explained Dunst. “I wish we had had more scenes together but it was nice to share (leading lady) duty. To have another girl on the set was nice to experience all of it with me. I can’t say who I worked with more [among newcomers Howard, Topher Grace and Thomas Haden Church] than the other because that kind of alludes to the story but I feel like I’m even going to be surprised when I see this movie because there are so many elements that I’m not a part of, so I have no idea visually how they’re going to look.”
Dunst also tackled the topic of marriage between Peter and MJ, how the role of Mary Jane has changed her life and her thoughts on Sam Raimi and the possibility of a “Spider-Man 4.”
