Imagine you’re a mutated spider. You’re crawlin’ along, you get hungry, you spot a nerdy, little teenager. You put your little spider lips down to his cool, soft skin … BAM!
Sorry, but the latest Spider-Man casting news required at least one My Cousin Vinny joke on my part. Variety reports that Oscar-winning actress Marisa Tomei will play Aunt May in Marvel Studios and Sony’s forthcoming Spider-Man reboot. Tomei will star alongside 19-year-old Tom Holland, who was recently announced as Marvel’s new Peter Parker. Obviously, with Tomei just entering her 50s, we’re skewing younger all around, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
You can next see Tomei in Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck, which hits theaters next week. For the full story on this Spider-Man casting, head over to Variety by clicking here.
