Avengers: Doomsday<\/a> is shaping up to be the most ambitious film Marvel Studios has attempted, bringing together a stacked ensemble cast that unites various corners of the multiverse. It\u2019s been confirmed that the movie features multiple superhero teams, with the New Avengers, Sam Wilson\u2019s Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men all coming together in the conflict against Doctor Doom. Doomsday even sees Steve Rogers return to the fold, but it looks like some notable characters will be left on the sidelines. So far, no actors associated with the Spider-Man films are confirmed to appear in the next Avengers movie, but some fans are convinced an icon of the Sam Raimi trilogy is returning.<\/p>\n

On X, the account No Context Tobey Maguire shared some images of Kirsten Dunst out and about. The Mary Jane Watson actress is seen sporting red hair, causing some to wonder if this is a sign that Dunst is going to reprise her role in an upcoming Marvel movie. Check out the post in the space below:<\/p>\n

Is Kirsten Dunst Returning as Mary Jane in the Avengers Movies?<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s unlikely Tom Holland\u2019s Spider-Man will appear in Avengers: Doomsday (Holland was busy shooting The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day last year), there have been rumors that Tobey Maguire\u2019s Spider-Man will show up<\/a>. Obviously, that hasn\u2019t been confirmed, but if Maguire does indeed reprise his iteration of Peter Parker, it wouldn\u2019t be a shock for Mary Jane to also be there in some capacity. Granted, MJ probably wouldn\u2019t have the biggest role, but she could appear in a sequence depicting a multiversal incursion happening in Peter 2\u2019s reality. The endless speculation about Doomsday is why theories about Kirsten Dunst aren\u2019t far-fetched, but there\u2019s a more plausible explanation for her hair color.<\/p>\n

Other than Dunst (a natural blonde) simply wanting to dye her hair red, the actress was recently cast in the upcoming A Minecraft Sequel<\/a>. She will portray Alex, who is one of the default skins Minecraft game players can choose. One of Alex\u2019s defining traits is her red hair, so it\u2019s definitely possible Dunst\u2019s hair color is related to her role in A Minecraft Sequel. The film, which is scheduled to premiere in 2027, is set to begin filming soon. Back in January, Jason Momoa hinted that cameras will be rolling at the end of April<\/a>. Assuming everything has remained on track, A Minecraft Sequel will star production in the next few days \u2014 if it hasn\u2019t already.<\/p>\n

Dunst is likely going to be busy with A Minecraft Sequel for a while. As a point of comparison, the original Minecraft Movie started production in January 2024 and wrapped a few months later that April. If A Minecraft Sequel follows a similar schedule, that would take filming into July. Dunst has also been cast in The Housemaid\u2019s Secret<\/a>, the sequel to the hit erotic thriller The Housemaid. Like A Minecraft Sequel, The Housemaid\u2019s Secret is set to come out in 2027, meaning filming will commence later this year. These commitments could create potential scheduling conflicts with Marvel (assuming the studio is interested in bringing Dunst back). Avengers: Secret Wars will be in production this summer, so Dunst could theoretically shoot a cameo between Minecraft and The Housemaid\u2019s Secret, but she may also want to take a break between the two and recharge.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s seemingly unlikely Dunst is going to film anything for Marvel in the immediate future, she could have shot a role for Doomsday at some point in the past year. After all, Marvel kept Chris Evans\u2019 return under wraps until the first Doomsday teaser trailer, so there are likely other surprises in store for fans. Whether or not Dunst is one of them remains to be seen. As fun as it would be to see her as Mary Jane again, it would arguably be underwhelming if she just had a brief cameo and didn\u2019t have much to do. Since Doomsday and Secret Wars aren\u2019t hyper-focused on Tobey Maguire\u2019s Spider-Man, it might be better if MJ was just referenced, similar to Spider-Man: No Way Home.<\/p>\n
