It was Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides in 1999 that marked a transition into more adult roles, but no matter what the 38 year-old goes on to accomplish throughout the rest of her career, to a lot of people she’ll always be best known as Mary Jane Watson in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy. She’s actively avoided big budget studio blockbusters ever since, but she’ll be returning in a major way after becoming the latest former star to board the multiversal ensemble of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man 3.

Once the news broke that Dunst, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Alfred Molina are all poised to join the web-slinging sequel, fans were quick to celebrate on social media, and you can check out just some of the reactions below.
