Marisa Tomei as Aunt May?

Apparently Marisa Tomei is in final negotiations to star as Aunt May in the latest reboot of Spider-Man. This comes upon on the announcement of Tom Holland as our newest Peter Parker, and Jon Watts poised to direct. Whether she will appear in any of the upcoming Marvel films featuring Spider-Man is yet to be revealed, though it wouldn’t come as a surprise if she were to be included in Parker’s decision to reveal his identity. Perhaps a flirtatious encounter between Aunt May and Mr. Tony Stark is in store for audiences?

She is the third actress in the past decade to portray the famous comic-book character, played first on screen by Rosemary Harris in the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man. Sally Fields followed in Harris’s footsteps in Andrew Garfield‘s Amazing Spider-Man films, bringing some needed life to the previously helpless, geriatric character. Tomei is the youngest actress to play Peter Parker’s guardian, hopefully providing some additional vigor and attitude to the role. Now imagine Joe Pesci as Uncle Ben.
