May Reilly Parker or Aunt May, as affectionately called by comic book fans, has been a mainstay and the source of parental strength for Peter Parker in his superhero career as Spider-Man. Just like Peter's uncle Ben Parker, Aunt May is always there for him whenever he is troubled by something or by someone.

THR futher revealed that the news about Tomei's accepting the role of Aunt May has met with mix reactions to several netizens and comic book producers. Some were excited about it, while others are met with disbelief thinking that her appearance is "too young" to be considered for the middle-aged character.

The website noted that Tomei is by far the youngest actress to play the role fo Aunt May at 52-years-old. Rosemarry Harris was 75-years-old when she played Aunt May in "The Amazing Spider-Man" movie, while Sally Field was 66-years-old during the Sam Raimi "Spider-Man" trilogy.
