The Minecraft Movie sequel casts Kirsten Dunst, which is not surprising because she wanted to be in a film 'where I don’t lose money'

Kirsten Dunst has been signed up for the Minecraft Movie sequel, which currently doesn't have a title, as the player avatar Alex. Alex is one of the default avatars in the game, is female, and has red hair: so Mary Jane feels like a pretty good fit.

Dunst is of course known for many more roles than her turn in Raimi's Spider-Man films, including The Virgin Suicides, Bring it On, and Marie Antoinette. She has, however, parlayed her early fame into starring roles in a series of cult classic movies in the last decade or so, and only turns up on the big screen every so often these days.
