Meet Mary Jane Watson
Kirsten Dunst plays Mary Jane Watson in the original Spider-Man trilogy. Sony’s later film synopses place her relationship with Peter alongside the pressures of his double life. Beginning with the first film lets that relationship develop before the sequels change its circumstances.
