Spider-Man 3: Tobey Maguire In Talks To Return With Kirsten Dunst

The original live-action Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire, is reportedly in talks to return for the MCU's Spider-Man 3, along with Kirsten Dunst. Maguire starred in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy from 2002 to 2007 as Peter Parker, the titular hero who one day acquires spiderlike powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider. Dunst portrayed Mary Jane Watson, his best friend and love interest. Maguire's performance was largely praised by fans, and though there were once plans for a Spider-Man 4, they never came to pass.

In the MCU, Tom Holland currently plays Peter Parker, and he's set to return for a third solo adventure in 2021. Plot details have been kept under wraps, but there have been rumors for some time that, as the MCU digs into the multiverse, past Spider-Man characters could appear. This was seemingly supported by the news that The Amazing Spider-Man 2's Electro (Jamie Foxx) will be in Spider-Man 3, and today, news broke that Alfred Molina will reportedly play Doctor Octopus once more. Evidently, they might not be the only ones.

Per Collider, Maguire reportedly will return for Spider-Man 3 provided Sony and Marvel can reach a deal with him. Talks with Maguire are presumably ongoing. Meanwhile, the report indicates Dunst is already set to return as MJ in the film.
