Kirsten Dunst would have starred in Minecraft 2 to make a pile of money: “Maybe I can simply make a movie where I don’t miss money?”

Kirsten Dunst He built his career by working with some of the most acclaimed filmmakers of our time. From Sofia Coppola (The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette, The Beguiled) A Lars von Trier (Meloncholy), Jane Campion (The power of the dog), AND Alex Garland (Civil war), is constantly chosen projects that support themselves in the audacious cinema and guided by the authors.

His next list continues this trend with Derek Cianfrance’S Roofman AND Ruben Östlund’S The entertainment system is inactive. But as much as Dunst thrives in the prestigious territory, it is also not above chasing something a little more mainstream, especially if he pays.

In a new cover story for Town & Country, Dunst admitted that he did not hesitate to sign Minecraft 2. That decision is reduced to his children and some financial common sense.

As the magazine summarized: “because his children loved the first and because he would like to make a pile of money”. Dunst herself added a laugh: “Maybe I can simply make a movie in which I don’t lose money?”

The first Minecraft movieinterpreted Jack Black AND Jason MomoaHe stunned the industry at the beginning of this year with a box office all over the world of $ 955 million, making him the third film with the most 2025 collection.

While the critics were not affected, the film illuminated the audience of Gen-Z and dominated the social media trends. It is exactly the type of commercial Juggernaut that is clearly contrasting with the usual Dunst projects.

But it does not seem too worried about the tonal turn, it has a series of arthouse films on site, including the siren thriller Reptilia with Mikey Madison And another collaboration with Coppola.

Coppola praised his long -standing muse in the same profile, saying: “Kirsten makes beautiful choices. It is never Hokey. It can be completely sincere and in contact with emotions without ever being embarrassing.

Obviously, Dunst has always balanced the prestige and the great tariff in the studio. He played Mary Jane Sam Raimi’S Spider-man Trilogy, one of the successful roles of the 2000s. And as he said, he would have happily returned to the world of superheroes if he was asked: “Because you are paid for a lot of money and I have two children and I support my mother”.

For now, his next project is RoofmanCyanfrance criminal comedy co-protagonist Channing Tatum. It is scheduled for the world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival next month before heading to cinemas on October 10 via Paramount Pictures.

If Minecraft 2 It remains to be seen on his curriculum, but it is clear that Dunst has no problems mixing art with a little trade, especially when there is a “pile of money” involved.
