Perhaps just to make you feel a bit older or it just keeps in line with the younger approach to the Spider-Man reboot. The new Aunt May for the upcoming film will be Oscar-winning actress Marisa Tomei. She’ll be co-starring with up-and-coming actor Tom Holland, who shall be taking up the titular role. Holland is 19 years old, so perhaps it makes sense to make Aunt May a bit younger. Tomei is already 50 years old but she is still younger than the other two aunts of Peter Parker that were cast before. Sally Field was 65 when she was in The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012 and Rosemary Harris was 75 when she first played the role in Spider-Man back in 2002. The film is expected to come out on July 28, 2017.
