Kate Hudson shares regret about turning down iconic role

Kate Hudson confirmed she turned down the role of Mary Jane Watson in Sam Raimi's 2002 Spider-Man film.
The iconic role, opposite Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, was eventually played by Kirsten Dunst.
Hudson admitted she now looks back and thinks it "would have been nice to be in a Spider-Man movie."

Despite some wistfulness, Hudson stated she believes "life happens exactly the way it’s supposed to" and is grateful for her experiences.
