Kirsten Dunst is Marry Jane Watson in Spider- Man 3. In previous two movies we see them getting close to each other. In Spider- Man 3 they are finally coming together. Marry Jane is in love with Peter from the beginning but she is confused whether Peter is in love with her. At the same time, she is struggling to become an actress. With Collider.com Kirsten talks about various aspects of her character in the latest episode of Spiderman.

Here is an excerpt of the interview:

Question: So, James and Toby mentioned that there was a certain degree of collaboration with Sam when it came to developing this third movie, much more so probably than in the first two films.  Did you find that yourself, with Mary-Jane her whole thing?

Kirsten Dunst: I did.  Because Sam, you know, now they’re in a relationship so now you have to deal with real relationship stuff and I was happy Mary-Jane finally got a gig.  Sam, you know, obviously he’s the one who developed the story line and everything but he was open to our suggestions. 

Can you talk about the singing? That’s really you singing?

Yeah, yeah. 

Was that nerve racking or ….

I got to pre-record it so I just lip-synced. 

Do you enjoy that part of showing you off in that way?

It was fun.  It was fun to do.

Now the whole Spider-Man 4 question of course has been coming up. Sam did say that if neither you nor Toby came in to do Spider-Man 4 then he would be likely not to want to do it.

Right.  I feel the same way.  I would only do it with Sam and Toby.  I mean, you can’t do that the fans #1, you can’t do that to each other – we’re a team and we’ve grown up together now and what makes this movie special is our collaboration together.  And yeah, I wouldn’t do it without Sam and Toby. 

Has anybody approached that you yet?

Not really.  I mean but we never felt like it was really over anyway so I just think there’ll probably be a slight reprieve and we’ll come back and …

Was there one point you did say that three would be enough?

Yeah and I do think it’s enough – I feel like we ended a chapter with the film definitely.  I think this is, this book is closed and now we’ll approach it in another way that will refresh all of us.  I mean we always had really amazing actors who have come in and played our villains.  People respect this franchise.  They respect Spider-Man.  And they know we want to make the best film every time that we can.

What about a more wild Mary Jane like in the comics?

Well Mary Jane is a little bit more like sexed up than the comics. I mean I do wear a padded bra in the film but, you know, we wanted to develop Jane and make her a woman that all the girls can look up to. 

Would you want Mary Jane to be more like a party girl in another film?

I don’t know.  We’ll see where it goes.  I don’t know.  I haven’t thought about – all I’m thinking about is this movie right now.  And that’s not up to me. 

Are there any thematic aspects of this movie that you could identify with in any way with the relationship side of it or the whole comment on celebrity culture?

So many things.  So many things, this movie is so, you know, good and evil.  Religion plays a big part in comics to me and Spider-Man.  And even our visuals, like James laying, with the sun rising at the end like a sacrificed lamb or Toby in the second one being over the people in the tram like he’s Jesus.  I mean it’s very much good and evil like I think is in a lot of religions.  And also it’s about heroes and Peter is like everyman.  I mean, when Spider-Man swings through the city its melancholic music.  You know, he’s always tortured with his responsibility and he’s trying to grow up and be a man with these powers and then you have, you know, I could compare it to like Superman.  When he flies through the air it’s like happy music, you know what I mean?  But Spider-Man is always tortured with his work and tortured and so that makes him a human you know, and you don’t separate the man from mask.  He’s always been in sync for me when it comes to Peter.

How do interpret where Peter and Mary Jane are at the end of this film?  It’s a little ambiguous. 

 Which I love because that’s relationships.  It’s not cut and dry.
