Actress Kirsten Dunst believes Spider-Man 4 will be a flop if she and Tobey Maguire don't star in it.
The actress - who plays Mary Jane Watson, the love interest of the superhero 's alter-ego Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire), in the hit movie series - insists any attempt to continue the franchise without her, Tobey and director Sam Raimi would be a box-office disaster.
"Audiences aren't stupid. It'd be a big flop without me, Tobey or Sam,” she told Entertainment Weekly.
Kirsten is doubtful Sony Pictures would want to make a fourth movie if Raimi wasn't at the helm.
"That would really not be the smartest move. But they already know that,” she added.
Kirsten and Maguire have both distanced themselves from a fourth movie, with the pair admitting they would like to pursue other roles.
"I feel like this film is kind of a natural conclusion to a lot of stuff that's happened in the first two movies. It kind of feels like a natural trilogy. I'm not going to make more just because they've been successful,” said Maguire.
Spider-Man 3 had its world premiere in Tokyo on Monday. Raimi is rumoured to be in the running to direct the film version of J R R Tolkien's classic novel The Hobbit, which is a prequel to the Lord of the Rings books.
He is said to be first choice if New Zealand filmmaker Peter Jackson, who
directed the Oscar-winning Lord of the Rings films, turns the project
down.
