I love Kirsten Dunst. I think anything is possible. I don’t really have a script or a project. I don’t know if Marvel would be interested in doing that at the moment. I don’t know what their opinion of the possibility is. I didn’t pursue the subject, but it sounds beautiful. Even if it wasn’t a Spidey movie, I would love to work with Tobey again.”he confessed.
