Kirsten Dunst Hated Her Nickname On the Set of ‘Spider-Man’

Buy Me A Coffee

Hold onto your spider webs! Kirsten Dunst, the gal who stole our hearts as Mary Jane Watson in the “Spider-Man” trilogy, is dishing out some Hollywood tea in her latest chat with Marie Claire. From battling creepy-crawlies in “Jumanji” to dodging unwanted nicknames on the set, Dunst has seen it all.

So, you might think fame and fortune would turn her into a Hollywood diva, right? Nope! Kirsten decided she’d rather not be the stereotypical “movie-star-movie-star.” Instead, she went rogue, opting for roles that spoke to her soul, and boy, did she hit the jackpot with indie darlings and dreamy projects alongside powerhouses like Sofia Coppola and Jane Campion.

But let’s rewind to the time when poor Kirsten felt more like a shiny object than a respected actress. Yep, during her “Spider-Man” days, some genius on set thought it was a hoot to call her “girly-girl.” Seriously, is this high school? Thankfully, Dunst said, “Nope!” and sought out directors who appreciated her talent over her hair color.

Fast forward to today, and Kirsten’s slaying the game even as she navigates the treacherous waters of Hollywood’s obsession with youth. Cue the eye rollsโ€”she’s been offered more “sad mom” roles than she can count. But fear not! After a stint of Oscar glory in “The Power of the Dog,” Kirsten took a well-deserved break to let those casting agents know she’s not here for the stereotypes.

Now, brace yourselves for the comeback of the century! Dunst is hitting the big screen once again in “Civil War,” where she’ll trade in her web-slinging days for some hard-hitting journalism amidst a Second Civil War. And guess who’s along for the ride? None other than her hubby, Jesse Plemons, proving that couples who act together, stay together.

Through it all, Kirsten’s got her eyes on the prize. She sees a future where female voices roar like lions and diversity isn’t just a buzzwordโ€”it’s the real deal. So mark your calendars, because “Civil War” is hitting theaters on April 12, and Kirsten Dunst is back to remind us why she’s the queen of the silver screen!
