Marisa Tomei to Play Aunt May in New ‘Spider-Man’ Movie

My gut's telling me that they're going for a more Ultimate Spider-Man (comic) approach with this, which I don't mind at all.

Jugding from the fact that they want to explore Peter's high school days (if I'm not mistaken) and this rumour, then it seems very likely. I love Ultimate Spider-Man, so it would be great.

Hope they go for Ultimate Aunt May. Ultimate Aunt May took no fucking prisoners.

My brother just texted me and said he wishes they could get Rosemary Harris from the Raimi trilogy to come back. He's one of those. I reminded him that Rosemary Harris is 87 now, and the first movie won't be out for another 2 years. Marvel most likely has these actors tied up in contracts for the next 10 years-she'd look like the Cryptkeeper by Part 3.

Maybe we can get Tobey as Uncle Ben.

Nothing makes a man feel old like an actress I used to jerk it to playing Peter Parker's Aunt May.

LOL!!

Like all the Raimi actors I just cringe now when I think of her key scenes.

Aunt May... Aunt May is that an aaaangel?

Yeah, stay in 2002. Stay where you are.

Just remember guys, it's not official until Marvel &/or Sony says it's official. Now granted, it's Variety, so Marisa Tomei's casting is most likely the case, but until we get studio confirmation, it's only a report (from a very reliable source).

Hottest Aunt May. She's also a good actor, so another solid Aunt May choice. Amazing Spider-Man cast the role well too.

Has she been acting for the past 20 years and I've just managed to miss every single she's in?

She's been acting the whole time but nothing big since the 90's. She's been able to play promiscuous alcoholics for the past three decades though which is pretty damn good for Hollywood's aversion to older women.

I remember reading a rumour about Age of Ultron where Tony got delivered her head inside an Iron Man helmet. A delightful reference to an earlier film, and an ideal way to off an irritating character played by an irritating actress.

You're insane. She's great in those films.
