Kirsten Dunst is open to taking on a job similar to her role of Mary Jane Watson in "Spider-Man", and her reasoning was perfectly blunt.

"You get paid a lot of money, and I have two children, and I support my mother," the Academy Award-winning actress told Marie Claire.

During the interview, when asked if she'd ever act in another superhero movie, Dunst replied, "Yes," pointing to the payday she'd receive for being in those films.

Dunst married her "Fargo" co-star,  Oscar-nominated actor Jesse Plemons, in 2022. The couple had their two sons before exchanging their vows.

'Spider-Man' co-stars have reprised roles

If Dunst were to play Mary Jane Watson or a similar superhero movie character again, she'd be following in the footsteps of her "Spider-Man" trilogy co-stars Tobey Maguire, Willem Dafoe, J.K. Simmons, Alfred Molina and Thomas Haden Church. The five actors reprised their roles from the "Spider-Man" films in Marvel Entertainment's "Spider-Man: No Way Home."

Review:'Spider-Man: No Way Home' is a refreshing blast of visiting baddies and second chances

Marvel's "Spider-Man: No Way Home" made $1.9 billion worldwide and had a domestic opening of over $260 million, according to Box Office Mojo.

Dunst has not played in a major film since "The Power of the Dog" in 2021, alongside actor Oscar-nominated actor Benedict Cumberbatch. Cumberbatch is already a regular in superhero films as he plays Dr. Stephen Strange in Marvel's "Doctor Strange" films.
