It appears that Kirsten Dunst has finally decided that starring in "Spider-Man 4" may be in her best interest after all. For months Sam Raimi has been courting the perennial Hollywood cutie to reprise her role as Mary Jane-Watson, but the young actress continually told the director that she was undecided about playing the part again.

Well Dunst has finally decided to join the cast of "Spider-Man 4" alongside Tobey Maguire, who had signed on for the film, plus "Spider-Man 5" early on.

Now that Raimi has his two main stars, he can now decide on which villain (or villains) good old Spidey will fight next.

Producer Todd Black recently told MTV, "We're just coming up with who the villain's going to be now. We'll be shooting in New York again. Trust me - people will appreciate who we pick, because it'll be a big part of New York."

I personally hope that they decide to use one villain, and not several. Films that try to cram in too many bad guys generally don't work because their isn't enough time to develop the characters.

Then again, fans probably wouldn't care if they threw in another scene of Dunst running around in the rain with no bra on. That image tends to stay with you.

Tobey Maguire is reportedly close to agreeing to return for two more Spider-Man movies according to the Hollywood Reporter.

It is also being reported that director Sam Raimi was also in talks about returning to the helm of the hugely popular comic book based movie franchise.

Sony's Columbia Pictures has scoffed at recent speculation over whether Maguire would return as Peter Parker and said there was no question he would be back.

"The studio never considered any other actor. Tobey was our only choice and the only person we've discussed the role with," Sony spokesman Steve Elzer said.

In a surprise move, Columbia is reportedly considering shooting the films back-to-back, starting in autumn 2009, much like The Lord of the Rings trilogy, which filmed simultaneously for 274 days.

Producer Laura Ziskin said she was aiming for a May 2011 release date for Spider-Man 4, nine years after the original movie's debut.

The studio declined comment on which villains might appear in the next two films or whether Kirsten Dunst would reprise her role as Mary Jane Watson.
