Kate Hudson regrets turning down role in Tobey Maguire ‘Spider-Man’ ?
Kate Hudson got candid about one of her career “what ifs,” turning down a role in the original Spider-Man film.
The Oscar-nominated actress recently confirmed once and for all that she was offered a part in the first installment of Sam Raimi’s webslinger franchise.
While reading a fan-submitted question on Watch What Happens Live! on Monday, December 22, host Andy Cohen asked, “Did you really turn down the role of Mary Jane Watson in Spider-Man, and do you regret it?”
“Yes, I did,” the Almost Famous star replied. “Now when I look back, it’s one of those things where I’m like, ‘That would have been nice to be in the Spider-Man movie.'”
However, she explained that passing on the role led her to a different opportunity, which she treasured a lot.
“At the same time, I did a movie called The Four Feathers. I got to meet Heath Ledger, who became a very good friend, and I had an experience I never would have had otherwise,” the 46-year-old actress and singer said. “So part of me feels like life happens exactly the way it’s supposed to, and I’m grateful for it.”
She admitted there’s a small part of her that wonders what might have been.
“I do look at that and think, ‘Aww, it would have been fun to be her,'” Hudson added.
When Cohen pointed out that the role would have meant appearing in not just one film but an entire trilogy, she responded, “I know, I know!”
What role Kate Hudson was asked to play in Spider-Man?
Hudson was reportedly offered the part of Mary Jane Watson in Raimi‘s 2002 film, but she turned it down, and Kirsten Dunst was eventually cast a month before filming began.
Dunst, 43, went on to play the role in all three movies alongside Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in that trilogy.

AI detects pancreatic cancer 3 years before diagnosis: Study reveals breakthrough results
An artificial intelligence (AI) software that could possibly revolutionise pancreatic cancer treatment by early diagnosis, even before the tumor becomes visible on a scan, is currently being evaluated in a clinical trial.
A Mayo Clinic AI tool detected abnormalities on scans up to three years before the patients were diagnosed.
According to a research paper published in the journal Gut, an AI model developed by a Minnesota-based clinic was trained with CT scans of patients who were earlier being examined for other diseases but were later diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
The research team then asked radiologists and AI software to review the scans and found the AI system to be three times more effective at detecting early signs of the disease compared to radiologists.
A radiologist at Mayo Clinic and an author of the study said they knew pancreatic cancer does not come all of a sudden in three months, adding, “We knew that signal was there. We just needed to find a way to be able to detect it.”
Pancreatic cancer has a five-year survival rate of around 13% and is on its way to become the second leading cause of cancer deaths by 2030; however, if successful, the deployment of Mayo Clinic’s AI software could improve early detection and treatment outcomes.
Early detection for the disease has been rare so far, but the Stage I patients had a survival rate of up to 40%.
Andy Serkis, the iconic voice of Gollum in “Lord of the Rings,” speaks with “CBS Saturday Morning” about his latest project, an animated version of George Orwell’s “Animal Farm.”
