xSquirrelly
Tomei is in her 50's though. She just looks fantastic for her age. Holland isn't even old enough to order a drink in the US so it's balanced
DJSimonCowel
Aunt may Benjamin Buttoning through the spiderman movies is my favorite dumb thing
NotThatOneTheOtherOne
Should've put Alexandra Daddario in the last spot.
BeardsleyMcTurbanhead
Please tell me the vine bimbo in the last frame isn't going to be aunt May.
SwarleysQuinntervention
Sally Field is a stunning woman. Loved her movie 'Hello, my name is Doris'
IDreaxI
Rosemary Harris is still my favorite.
Cellbeep76
Yow!!! The bad shopping on 2022 makes her look like some sort of mutant comic book villain called Uncanny Valley.
lokishadowgirl
I like the second one best tbh
lucky141
I never told I could fap to Aunt May
DerelictTwitterCrash
Aunt may is dead, long live to Aunt MILF.
ihatethebacebook
i miss 2002
BitchButcher
How is this kind of discrimination called? "Youngwashing?"
ParanoidWithGoodCause
the audience of their movies is also getting older... just sayin
ProcrastinationInProgress
to be fair peter parker has alao gotten younger again, and him being around 16-18 its not unreasonable for his aunt to be in her 40s
Luscus
FYI Marisa Tomei is 51
nj23dublin
In fairness there's 32 year old grandmothers running about
Pikka
I think it was wonderfully lampshaded by Tony in Civil War.
evolution4407
2022 Aunt May is an AILF.

Never got why she was so old in 2002. I'm 28 and my aunts aren't that old.
LordNoodles
Heavy smoker
HopeHubris
Because that's how old she was drawn in the comics. No reason she can't be younger though
nonamejanie
Ok let me shed some light here. I get that I'm not Peter Parker or his Aunt May BUT I'm an Aunt. I became an Aunt at 3 years old. 1/2
nonamejanie
My sister is 15 years older than me. I became an aunt again when I was 9. It's possible for Aunt May to be young. 2/2
Luscus
Marisa Tomei is 51, even if this Peter Park was in his 20s instead of his teens it would make perfect sense age wise
AwkwardKeming
I'm compelled to post this every time Aunt May comes up: http://x.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel/i/mg/c/c0/4bc453fe17ff7.jpg. Note the stats.
VoidIncarnate
Affiliation: Grey Panthers. Is that some form of octogenarian cougar club?
AwkwardKeming
Nah, you're thinking of the Silver Panthers. The grey ones are like Malcolm X of shuffleboard.
chumpacabra
They saw the reaction that Aunt Cass in Big Hero 6 recieved
LordNoodles
Cass's ass
pagliacci323
She was so fine.
Kentnotavailablecomeon
2012 Aunt May is 10 times hotter than 2022, just sayin
Schmedes
You can have your opinion but I've seen both naked and I disagree. I'll also take into account how long ago I saw Tomei naked.
Jrax02
Spiderman is back to being in high school which is what i grew up with, so the aunt being younger makes sense
flamingflamingo
I grew up with Parker being a buff photographer for the daily bugle. I hate the HS thing.
Jrax02
fair enough buddy, to each their own. Id be with ya if they made him older, like spiderman 2 for example.
flamingflamingo
emo..
Jrax02
aint that the 3rd one? with that fucking dance number.....
flamingflamingo
Hahaha oh yeah it is, 2 was Doc Oc with a really annoying Mary Jane.
JraphicPark
STOP MAKING REBOOTS!
Eduardoram220
For real though how many time does Spider-Man need to get rebooted ?
RaddRadda
How many times till we get it right?
RedBlueGreenRedBlueGreen
Usually I would agree, but this one's putting him into the MCU where he belongs. It's a necessary evil.
AMacGyver
They can't. They have to do something with the property or else they lose the licence.
JraphicPark
Yeah but Spiderman has so many movies coming out.
spareseatonmyface
Just one.
abbynorml1979
What kind of spider did she get bit by!?
Drewscifer
Cougar spider

This is some tumblr level punning good sir
Decayous
To be fair aunt may was in her mid 50's when Peter was a teen, which is how they're portraying him. Tomei is in her mid 50's so yea...
therealcoolhand
51
GordonDavidson
I wasnt sure if I believed you , but then I remembered elle mcpherson and yeah no not that unbelievable
Canofminus
and Field was 64 when they shot The Amazing Spider man.
BourbonBuck
But when she was written, that was the life expectancy. She was very old for that time.
nppraxis
But all versions of May, even the young (Ultimate) May, have white hair.
DJThuglifeSupreme
That's a Hollywood mid 50's though. That's like, mid 20's for the rest of us
dontmagpie
she LOOKS 22. the actors age doesnt mean shit if youre breaking canon
idislikecomingupwithuniqueusernames
Yeeeeaaaaah, but she was also portrayed as a very frail, older woman. Pete was constantly worried about upsetting her because of her health.
Tunisia
Nobody but Marisa Tomei looks like that in their mid-50s.
ItispronouncedGIFwithahardG
Simply not true. Michelle Yeoh and Monica Belluci just off the top of my head.
CarlosSpicyweiner
True, other people look like themselves in their mid-50s
Kinkajoo
aunt may shouldnt give me a rager tho
LimeMime565

squirrelocaust
Maybe you are into older chicks and just didn't know it yet till aunt may.
AncientPostNecromancer
Or maybe hes just older now.
stopdropandrollout
Don't be ashamed. Let it happen.
RadioactiveCanuck
Good, Good. Let the lust flow through you.
whatspaulplayingtoday
Tomei will always, always be attractive to me.
BlakeNorthcott
For scientists, the 2022 'Aunt May' is Amanda Cerny
chrisdafish
I want the first may back she was great
MEisonImgur
I thought that looked like her!
Pikka
I think she'll be too old by '22.
ksherretz
a heavily photoshopped amanda cerny.
Czck
Where'd this information come from? Or is this just bullshit for attention?
Pikka
It's a ... "joke". I hope.
deadatrocity
Please, who cares about her. Let's get the name of 2002 Aunt May.

Also the hot girl with weird looking boobs

GoddamnitClown
She's supposed to be the sister of Peter's dead [parent], right? If he's 15, why *would* she be 80?
Gyrofalco
Do they ever mention if she is his aunt from his father or mothers side?
SolomonHerculesAtlasZeusAchillesMercury
My grandparents had 8 kids the oldest was born in 1947 the youngest was born in 1979 he has nieces that are nearly 10 years older than him
NzRevenant
Great aunt, anyone? Maybe? No?
blacksheepcannibal
To make the character seem frail and helpless, for various reasons I can't fit into an imgur post.
everypostepic
A teenager that gets bit by a spider to gain powers, and this is what you can't believe.
Gyrofalco
Do they ever mention if she is his aunt from his father or mothers side?
GoddamnitClown
Afaik, in most versions she just married Ben who's Peter's dad's brother. In some versions she's Peter's mum's sister.
Gyrofalco
Do they ever mention if she is his aunt from his father or mothers side?
HutchTheClutch
Guys, this one dude wants to know if they mention if she's from his mother or fathers side. Someone should tell him.
Tornadotaco
Both. The random mutations associated with inbreeding left him vulnerable to radioactive spider venom.
DarthGibbon
It's not THAT implausible for her to be an older lady.
GoddamnitClown
No, could be any age, really. But she's more likely to be 20-30 years older than Peter than 60-70.
Gyrofalco
Do they ever mention if she is his aunt from his father or mothers side?
PuellaSilentii
You do realise that siblings can be years apart.
falala78
There would be roughly a 50 year gap between aunt may and Peter parents
GoddamnitClown
Sure, in either direction, but it's not like they *have to* be.
haquie
Me and my sis are a decade apart so I dunno
LordTonyStarkofWinterfell
Exactly. I never understood this logic.
FutureHylian
The original was more... 60's comic book. Back where things were more exaggerated. Characters 50? Make them look 200.
KunFayyaKun
No, Uncle Ben is Peter's father's Brother.
ifyouknewmeyouwouldbeme
"So what does that make us?"
KunFayyaKun
absolutely nothing!
TheEmptied
Someone is now happy they can ship these two without it being incest. Someone else is sad for the same reason. The internet has ruined me.
shinyRK9
still
DisgruntledFerret
Yup! Aunt May's name before becoming a Parker was May Reilly.
delecti
Wait really? Explains Ben Reilly.
MNM5701
That would still make her about the same age. Potentially younger since statistically women are usually the younger one in a relationship
KunFayyaKun
Not disagreeing with that, simply pointing out a mistake in the lore :P
GoddamnitClown
Afaik, there are versions where May is either Mary's or Richard's sister, too. Nevertheless, the age range doesn't change.
KunFayyaKun
Then where would the name Ben and May Parker come from?
Lischu
Parker is quite a common name. They both could have been parkers from birth.
GoddamnitClown
Don't ask me, I didn't write it :p Maybe a husband took a wife's name somewhere along the line.
KunFayyaKun
Highly doubt it. I know it happens, but it was entirely unheard of whne Spiderman was created.
