Will Summer Belong to Spider-Man?

All of Hollywood got caught in the web of the biggest premiere of the summer, Tuesday night. "Spider-Man 2" is set to be this summer's record-breaking sequel, and all the stars came out for their big night.

"Spider-Man" Tobey McGuire took the Hollywood hype in stride, smiling as he told us, "I don't know, it's pretty exciting." And co-star Kirsten Dunst kept her cool, admitting, "Usually I'm so nervous I don't enjoy any of it, and I get a migraine. But right now I'm really happy."

The "Spider-Man" sequel is expected to surpass the first film's earnings, which brought in $800 million. And all the big names are on board for round two -- along with some new faces, including Alfred Molina, who is thrilled to be the bad guy this time around. "I've been a bad guy quite a few times, but I've never been in a sequel because I always die," Molina told us. "So this might be my one chance at fame."

Sarah Michelle Gellar and funnyman Tim Allen, who are just a few of the famous "Spider-Man" fans, came out to see the sequel. "It's probably the biggest movie of the year," Gellar insisted.

"I'm a freaking geek for this," Allen added, and revealed his plan to grab a spot in the third installment of the "Spider-Man" franchise: "I told them that I want to be 'Irritant.' I could just irritate Spider-Man."

But Maguire was one step ahead of Allen. He told us he's already working on "Spider-Man 3." So can we expect a wedding for Peter and MJ? "He's achingly in love with this girl, so I don't know," Maguire revealed. "I can't say much about it, but we are working on number three."

In the meantime, don't miss one of the biggest movies of the summer when "Spider-Man 2" swings into theatres next Wednesday.
