8 Actors From Spider-Man Movies That MUST Return For No Way Home

6. Kirsten Dunst

Peter Parker Mary Jane Watson Spider Man

What is Peter Parker without his Mary Jane? Well, a lot of things, really, but that's beside the point.

Kristen Dunst is utterly synonymous with the Raimi movies. While her version of Mary Jane Watson did grow a little frustrating towards the end, that was less a fault of the character and more the general direction of the series. She's a figure you always picture when you think of Spider-Man, so not bringing her in would be a huge mistake.

In addition, viewers never got a complete ending to the romance between Parker and MJ in the third Spider-Man movie. There was an implied conclusion between the pair, but getting the chance to see where life has taken them since then would be just what the doctor ordered - unless that doctor is Octavius.

Seeing her in the flick would make for a massive wave of nostalgia and bring some much-needed credibility to the movie's concept. But, more than that, she could play a vital role in the narrative, as an example of how juggling a relationship and being Spider-Man can have consequences.

Who better to teach Holland's Parker how to manage his relationship with MJ than another version of her?
