The Amazing Spider-Man Dunst "Definitely on board" Spider-Man 4

[chaseter]

Bleh to Dunst being back. With that news, this needs to be the last film from the current cast.

Dunst said she didn't want to come back and do this again and she is no way MJ in any form so I don't like her in these movies. I would have been fine if they recasted her like they did with TDK and Rachel's character. Nobody gave a flip.

Like it or not Kate Holmes was only in one movie, Dunst was on three, it's not exactly the same thing.

People asking for a recast/reboot are complete idiots. Easy as that.

exactly why would you recast a character who is a huge part of the spiderman character who has been in the past 3 films

this is like Nolan recasting Michael caine lolol

continuity would be ruined and would ruin the film imo

The Bond franchise manages to be just fine with the whole re-casting. And I see no problem with re-casting if you can get better actors. Which shouldn't be much of a problem since neither Kirsten nor Tobey were all that amazing. IMO they're the weakest characters in the Movies and easily get outshined by every villain that has been in the movies. Both are just so, boring and bland, and Dafoe, Molina, Grace, they all seemed full of life.

And while we're at it, get a new director too. Reading Raimi say that he'll stay true to himself made me anything but excited. That only means more awkward Peter moments, MJ as a damsel in distress, more romantic nonsense.

So far the only reasons to watch the Movies is because of the awesome fights and villain performances. But I'd also like to watch a Movie with a accurate MJ and Peter Parker.

But the difference between Bond and Spider-Man is that the Bond series never has a continuous storyline with each Bond film they don't pick up where the last left up nor do they make references to any past occurrences. Quantum of Solace was the only sequel to ever be in the Bond franchise and it kept the same Bond (Craig). A complete recast would only work if they started with an entire new Spider-Man story and took it into another direction which wouldn't make sense given this is part 4.

Another thing is that just because you find better actors that doesn't mean the film will be good because trust me story and dialogue comes before actual casting. Batman Forever is a perfect example of a movie with good actors, but still a terrible movie.

I agree with this

Well maybe except you'd probably be upgrading instead of downgrading. Can't really compare Dunst to the irreplaceable Michael Caine.

 

[Milu]

Michael Caine for Mary Jane plz.

I tend to when anyone says Tobey is not that good or the weakest link. All the movies, especially SM2 (everyone's favorite) is built around him. All the other characters, including the villains, are secondary to revolving around his arc. He gives a genuine and likable enough of a performance and makes his pain so engaging that people loved his character and went to the first movie in flocks and gave it great WOM. See what the critics say about him in SM2, even doubters like Ebert.

You may not think he plays the character how you envision him well, but he is a great asset to these movies.

 

[mclay18]

I actually like that she's back for SM-4 -- nothing irritates me more than recasting and/or writing a key character out completely because the actor refused to come back. Hopefully Raimi and Abaire will make MJ a more active yet less annoying character in the fourth movie.

It's rather nice to get back almost all the familiar faces for four movies straight -- Raimi, Maguire and Dunst -- even if the third movie was chock full of problems.

Lol, saying Tobey is the weak link is by far the most untrue statement I've heard towards these movies. Tobey is never off his game. Even in SM-3, while it didn't live up to the first two, his performance was very well done. He was great at showing the built up angst in Peter, the sadness, the happy go lucky side, etc. Tobey has NEVER been a weak link in these movies.

exactly how i feel.

 

[Dog Logan]

That's the only feeling that made me want Dunst to return. For some reason I have a good feeling about her return. Initially when we didn't know if she was returning I was totally skeptical, but am now looking forward to seeing what she brings to the table. I hope she can look like this again:

Ahh.....the good old days when I would go google eyes over Kirsten.

 

[Project862006]

exactly and imo the spidey films have never been about the great acting the acting doesn't suck of course it just wasn't its main focus. It was more worried about the story and its themes aswell as kick ass fight scenes i also care more about continuity than a better actress.

 

[Dog Logan]

Any movie should strive to have great acting, and thus far all three movies have had that. In the first movie we had Willem Dafoe as the GG & Tobey was on top of his game, as he was for the next two movies, and then we had Alfred Molina for part two, then Thomas Haden Church for part 3. All three delivered great performances. However, Raimi sort of dropped the ball with what could've been done with James Franco as New Goblin.

 

[TomPiltoff]

I am very relieved to hear she's returning. It'd be too awkward seeing the same Spider-Man with a new MJ.

And Kirsten can be good when directed well. It seems like Raimi is really determined to make up for Spidey 3, I'm sure he'll get what he needs out of his actors.

I wouldn't ask she be nominated for an Oscar, but I thought she was fine in 1 & 2.

 

[Dog Logan]

She was great in the first two, but in the third it seems like she wasn't trying as hard. But, I have a strong feeling she'll turn that around this time.

I think people who call other people names are well...idiots

Dunst has said she was done with Spider-Man. She does not like to play MJ. The only reason she comes back is because she gets casted in crappy movies. I guarantee you that if she was in a big film after her contract ran out, she would not return. Dunst is a tool. Tobey is a good guy and I admire him returning but I don't want Dunst and MJ in the same movie ever again. This will be the last movie from the current cast anyways so we will either get a reboot or the series will continue with a new cast where this one left off.

she was HOT in SM1. its like THAT dunst has been abducted by aliens and replaced with a crack addict dunst.

 

[spider-neil]

there is a HUGE difference recasting the bond cast and recasting the spider-man cast. for one the spider-man cast are part of a BILLION dollar franchise.

 

[shiveringmelody]

I have not cared for Dunst as MJ the entire series (so far). While I don't consider her to be ugly or anything, she just doesn't appear as MJ to me.

I say less of Dunst's MJ and more of Bryce's Gwen. For some reason I been wanting to see MJ killed and Peter ends up with Gwen in these movies (opposite of the comics). Just who could finally do MJ in?

 

[Nathan]

Makes no differents. If you can get better suited actors, you should get them. If people already like Tobey's bland performance imagine how nuts people would get if we had someone who actually sounds confident when he speaks and has the proper characterisation.

when I read lee/ditko peter doesn't come across as a confident character, well at least not to me.
