Simon Pegg: For quite some time now, “Spider-Man” star Kirsten Dunst has had one major condition as to whether or not she'd sign-up for any future sequels of the franchise ” that director Sam Raimi and co-star Tobey Maguire be signed on as well.

Well, now that the news has broken that both Raimi and Maguire have signed back on for a fourth and fifth installment “ with a hefty paycheck attached as well ” MTV News posed the big question to Dunst while she was promoting her upcoming film, “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People” with Simon Pegg. Is she in or is she out?

“I'm in,” said the actress matter of factly. However, when pressed to make the announcement official, Dunst quickly changed her tone, and rather cryptically added, “I'm not saying anything, I know there's rumors…”

So while Dunst wasn't quite ready to make any announcements, her “How to Lose Friends” co-star, Pegg, took the opportunity to break some [non]-news of his own.

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

Kirsten Dunst Says She’s “In” For “Spider-Man 4″
You can’t exactly call it an official confirmation, but when asked by MTV about her Spider-Man 4 status, Kirsten Dunst said, “I’m in.” She quickly back-tracked on that though, telling them, “I’m not saying anything, I know there’s rumors…” Those rumors, of course, being fueled by fans less than satisfied with the actress’ less-than-impressive Mary Jane. Still, the Internet spit out a lot of hate for Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi too, and look what those guys ended

Kirsten Dunst is "In" for 'Spider-Man 4'...Or is She?
A quick show of hands: Who really cares if Kirsten Dunst comes back for Spider-Man 4? Personally, I was done with her somewhere in the middle of Spidey 2, and I thought she was outclassed by Bryce Dallas Howard's Gwen Stacy in the miserable third installment. But with Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire back on board, the question does seem rather natural. So when Dunst reported to MTV that, "I'm in," that obviously meant she'd have to field follow-ups, which she refused to do. "

Kirsten Dunst Says She’s “In” For Spider-Man 4
When MTV asked Kirsten Dunst if she would be returning for Spider-Man 4, the actress responded “I’m in.” Which sounds like a done deal if you ask me. But when pressed if she officially signed on to return, the actress changed her tone, “I’m not saying anything, I know there’s rumors…” This is certainly a change in tone from last year when Dunst was expressing disinterest in returning for more sequels, insisting she wouldn’t even consider the possibility if Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire we

Kirsten Dunst in ‘Spider-Man 4’?
At this stage, it’s just one of those rumors again. MTV recently talked to Kirsten Dunst about her new flick “How to Lose Friends & Alienate People,” and they obviously couldn’t resist asking about her potential involvement in “Spider-Man 4.” Her response, however, was not among the clearest. “I’m in,” she said first, before playing it safer by adding, “I’m not saying anything, I know there’s rumors…” Huh? Definitely leaves me puzzled. So there you go, maybe she wants to st

But Soft, Yon Kenneth Branagh Doth Direct ‘Thor’
Thou has Thor, if thou hast Thor...Photo: Getty ImagesEntire Internet Says WTF: Sorry D.J. Caruso, but it looks like you might not get to cast Shia LaBeouf in Thor, because that dubious honor belongs to, uh, Kenneth Branagh? Best known for directing a bunch of Shakespeare (Hamlet, Henry V), and best loved by us for helming 1991's Dead Again, he seems like an odd choice who pretty much guarantees the movie will be a historical epic. But is this really any stranger than studios plucking one-time indie di
