Kirsten Dunst achieved movie immortality in the most improbable way by kissing Spider-Man upside down in the rain in Spider-Man (2002). Then she did it again when Mary Jane finally calls Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker “tiger” in Spider-Man 2 (2004), bringing joy to moviegoing comic book fanboys everywhere. (For the uninitiated, the first time Peter and Mary Jane meet in the comics, she says, “Face it, tiger, you just hit the jackpot!”) So why isn’t her character in this new movie? Don’t worry, we’ll tell you.
