Kirsten Dunst is getting candid about pay.

The 39-year-old actress opened up in an interview with The Independent about her pay compared to Spider-Man co-star Tobey Maguire.

During the conversation, she revealed that the two stars had a big difference in their compensation for the 2002 film.

The pay disparity between me and Spider-Man was very extreme, she revealed.

I didnt even think about it. I was just like, Oh yeah, Tobey [Maguire] is playing Spider-Man, she said.

The first Spider-Man brought in $821 million, while 2004s Spider-Man 2 took in $789 million, via the outlet.

But you know who was on the cover of the second Spider-Man poster? Spider-Manand ME, she went on to say.

Can we stop waging the gender pay wars in a battlefield where every combatant has enough money to buy 40 houses?

Also, there's no reason that the guy playing spider-man in the spider-man movie shouldn't get paid more than the damsel in distress he's saving.

If it's any trade off, Dunst has had the more illustrious career. But I understand you can't pay your bills with exposure.

She's just as vital to the plot of those movies and like she said, she is front and center on the cover of the second one with Spidey

https://ew.com/celebrity/2019/08/29/kirsten-dunst-says-shes-ignored-by-hollywood-they-just-think-im-the-girl-from-bring-it-on/

Kirsten Dunst has been in the entertainment industry since she was a child, having made her debut in Woody Allens short film Oedipus Wrecks when she was just six years old. But throughout her long career, Dunst says she has never been recognized in my industry.

Ive never been nominated for anything. Maybe like twice for a Golden Globe when I was little and one for Fargo, she said on Sirius XMs In-Depth With Larry Flick, recently. Maybe they just think Im the girl from Bring It On.

She added, I just feel like, What did I do? Maybe I dont play the game enough.

Absolutely not. She's at best a macguffin for 5 minutes in each movie. Emma Stone was more important in the Amazing Spider-man movies.

She's saying that the pay difference was very extreme. Which shouldn't be the case between two leader actors.

People don't watch Spiderman to see Kirsten Dunst. They watch it to see Tobey Maguire.
I'm not sure I'd agree with that. I don't think people watch spider man to see tobey maguire. They watch Spider-man to see Spider-man. People watch Iron Man to see Robert Downey Jr., or X-Men to see Hugh Jackman. I don't think Maguire pull the same kind of audience for the role.

Edit: What a weird edit to that post.

This isn't the first time she's referenced the pay gap between her and Tobey. But...

Dunst has yet to put an exact number on the level of disparity between her and Maguires earnings.

Give us the numbers?

Going by this websight she made about 20 million from the Spiderman trilogy:

https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/actors/kirsten-dunst-net-worth/

Kirsten Dunst truly became a household name thanks to her involvement in the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man franchise. The first installment came in 2002. She appeared in the 2004 and 2007 sequels. Her paycheck for the sequels was $7 and $10 million, respectively. In total, Kirsten earned around $20 million for her work in Spider-Man.

20 mil a lot IMO and I personally would not complain about it but since her complaint was the difference between her and Toby.

https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/actors/tobey-maguire-net-worth/

As you might expect, Tobey's biggest big-screen paydays have come from playing Spider-Man. In 2002 he earned a respectable $4 million to play the superhero, but for the sequels he made considerably more in Spider-Man 2 he negotiated a salary of $17.5 million, plus five percent of the film's box office gross. Then for the final installment, Spider-Man 3, he got the slightly smaller salary of $15 million but with an even larger piece of the backend, at 7.5 percent.

So I estimate Toby made well over 40 million for playing Spidy. Would you guys consider that an extreme difference?

Actor who plays the lead character, which the movie is named after, gets paid more.

Male lead movies tend to earn more revenue than female lead movies. Cope.

Over the course of three movies, given how little Mary Jane actually did in them? I'm shocked she even made $20 million. I'd say it's a big difference, but when the title character makes twice as much as a supporting character, it's not an 'extreme' difference.

Thank you for finding the numbers. Yeah that total is a pretty significant difference. Especially considering he only made 1 million more than her on the first movie.

I agree with all of the above. Shes just being mad & whiny. I bet she wasnt even asked about it by the interviewer and instead just brought it up out of nowhere because shes a complainer. Also shes old & fat!
