KEY POINTS:

    Kirsten Dunst has revealed she is set to reprise her role as Mary Jane Watson in another Spider-Man movie.

    Following recent reports Sony Pictures are planning to shoot Spider-Man 4 and Spider-Man 5 together, Kirsten was asked if she would be part of the project. She replied: "I'm
    in."

    However, she later backtracked when questioned further, telling MTV: "I'm not saying anything, I know there's rumours."

    Kirsten's How to Lose Friends and Alienate People co-star Simon Pegg claimed he had also been approached to star in Spider-Man 4.

    He joked: "I'm in 'Spider-Man!' I play Mary Jane's brother. He comes to New York from university, and he says, 'Hey, what are you doing hanging out with that web-crawler."

    It was recently reported that both director Sam Raimi and actor Tobey Maguire, who plays the superhero, have signed on for the fourth instalment in the series.
