Kirsten Dunst - Spiderman would be a big flop without me

BEIJING, April 17 (Xinhuanet) -- Whether there will be a "Spider-Man 4" movie remains a mystery with the cast giving no clear clues Tuesday, but Kirsten Dunst said earlier that one thing is for sure: a sequel without her, co-star Tobey Maguire and director Sam Raimi would be a box office flop.

At a press conference Tuesday, Dunst gave glimmer of hope when asked about how her character -- Mary Jane Watson -- had developed in the latest film.

"I think this last film -- not the last film, but the third film -- has really been a culmination of that growth of family," she said, referring to the cast.

Sam Raimi were also at the packed news conference, but no reporters got a chance to ask the question whether the superhero would return to the screen in a fourth adventure.

Separately Dunst told Entertainment Weekly that if that happens, a "Spider-Man 4" without Raimi, her and Maguire would be "disrespectful to the whole team."

"Audiences aren't stupid. It'd be a big flop without me, Tobey or Sam," Dunst said in a story posted on the celebrity magazine's Web site, ew.com.

"Spider-Man 3" made its world debut in Tokyo Monday. Maguire, Dunst and other stars of the movie attended the gala red-carpet premiere.

The previous two "Spider-Man" films have raked in more than 1.6 billion U.S. dollars worldwide since the first was released in 2002, making it one of the most successful franchises of all time.

It would be a huge flop without Raimi and Maguire, Spiderman had other girlfriends- she's replaceable.

Going to have to disagree with you there. It's going to be a huge hit- the comic nerds are frothing. They introduce Venom, a gigantic story arc from the 90's.

This is proof that she's stoned 24/7. Which is fine by me as long as I get to be stoned anytime I have to hear her talk or see her.

No, we're not stupid...not stupid enough to buy that sack of shit. Tobey and Sam I'd miss, but I actually think it's time for Spidey to move on and get a better girl.
