A WEB of stars swung into Los Angeles for the world premiere of Spider-Man 2.

Tobey Maguire, who plays Peter Parker/Spidey and Kirsten Dunst, his on-screen love interest Mary Jane Watson, attended the glittering event last night.

The sequel to the first Spider-Man movie, which broke box office records and earned £440m in 2002, will be released in the UK on July 15. In Spider-Man 2, the web-slinger battles metal tentacled mad scientist Dr Octopus, played by British actor Alfred Molina.
