Kirsten Dunst'd Make Another Superhero Movie ‘Because You Get Paid a Lot of Money’
Kirsten Dunst would make another comic book movie “because you get paid a lot of money, and I have two children..."
She was often called a "girly-girl" on the SPIDER-MAN set, but "I never said anything. Like, don’t call me that!... [I] just took it."https://t.co/MNeHGWYCuo

It was a conscious choice not to capitalize off the ‘Spider-Man’ thing and become a movie-star-movie-star.
Dunst decided to go the indie route and team up with auteur filmmakers : Sofia Coppola and Lars von Trier.
“That’s great for some people. It’s not the artist that I want to be. It was just growing up and migrating to things that spoke to me. I always just navigated with my heart.”
But Dunst would not turn her back on superhero movies today.
“Because you get paid a lot of money, and I have two children, and I support my mother.”
Next up for Dunst is Alex Garland’s buzzy action drama “Civil War,”
She plays a photojournalist covering an escalating war in a divided America.
“There’s definitely less good roles for women my age, every role I was being offered was the sad mom”
