Kirsten Dunst – who has never looked better on film than as Mary-Jane Watson – hinted that a fourth would be possible back in February when she said “I would work with Sam on any movie he wanted to work on it with me, because I just adore that man.”
I personally think that the continuation of the franchise depends on Maguire. I just don’t think I could stomach a SPIDERMAN film without him. It was possible if he’d been replaced with someone like Jake Gylenhaal after the first, but not three movies down the line, it’d just be strange, wouldn’t it?
