Marisa Tomei
Marisa Tomei is a very sexy actress who looks absolutely incredible for her age – she’s fifty-one years old (born in 1964) – so it was something of a surprise to see who she was cast as in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was also very exciting.
Tomei is the Academy Award-winning star of movies like My Cousin Vinny, What Women Want, Anger Management, and The Wrestler – and in the MCU, she will portray Peter Parker’s Aunt May.
What is so surprising – and refreshing – about this casting is that Aunt May is generally presented as a frail, elderly lady (albeit one who can look after herself). She is old in the comic books and was portrayed by Rosemary Harris (born 1927) and Sally Field (born 1946) in previous Spider-Man movies.
And now onto another female performer who will be great to see in the MCU…
