Watch: Kirsten Dunst Reveals Which of Her Movies Her Kids Have Seen

Kirsten Dunst is raising her own little fan club.

Indeed, when it comes to her kids Ennis, 7, and James, 4—whom she shares with husband Jesse Plemons—the Spider-Man actress revealed that they’ve already seen a fair share of her movies.

“They’ve seen Jumanji, they’ve seen a little bit of Spider-Man,” Kirsten exclusively told E! NewsFrancesca Amiker during the world premiere of her new movie Roofman at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, “and they’ve seen Small Soldiers.”

As for what’s next on the list? Well, she deemed Roofman—which is based on the story of real-life criminal Jeffrey Manchester, who robbed dozens of fast-food establishments before escaping from prison and hiding out in a toy store—a “family film” that she would absolutely show her kids.

“It’s so crazy,” the 43-year-old continued of the film. “Who robs 45 McDonalds and then gets away with it and then escapes prison multiple times? The whole thing is wild.”

But once she stepped foot on set alongside costar Channing Tatum, recreating the mind-boggling story came “very easily” to them both.

“We’re very both open people,” Kirsten explained of her dynamic with the Magic Mike star. “And because we had to be so intimate with each other, we were immediately each other’s safety net on set.”

Before her kids witness her and Channing’s incredible chemistry on the big screen, however, it seems they’re already big fans of Peter Parker and MJ’s epic love story.  

Back in 2023, Kirsten shared an image of one of her sons hiding under a big red umbrella designed with Spider-Man's mask.

Though, as she captioned the Instagram post at the time, "Has no clue his mom was MJ."

Because aside from watching the occasional movie, Ennis and James live a largely technology-free life.

"We're not just a ‘Siri, play whatever' household," Kirsten explained to Variety last April. "Our kids don't have iPads either. If they want to use an iPad on the plane, it's Dad's iPad. And we're not phone-at-restaurant kind of people."

The Bring It On actress went on to emphasize that she has reasons for her strict rules, adding, "I'm not raising a kid that can't have conversations at the table."
