Marisa Tomei to play Aunt May in Spider-Man reboot

You know you’re getting old when the cast of Spider-Man start looking younger…

We recently brought you the news that the incredibly fresh-faced Tom Holland would be playing the lead role.

Now we can reveal that Marisa Tomei will appear in the reboot. Not as a love interest but as AUNT MAY.

That’s right, the incredibly beautiful and glamorous Marisa has been cast as the sweet old dear who acts as Peter Parker’s homely guardian.

We’re not sure how to feel about it here at JOE Towers. On the one hand, Tomei is a wonderfully talented actress and will therefore only enhance the franchise.

On the other hand, we’ve had a massive Costanza-style crush on her for ages, and it’s weird to fancy Aunt May…
