Thus, Tomei, recognizing her strength, humorously embraced the role of Aunt May, opting to maintain her natural appearance rather than donning a gray wig and a sad sweater. In a chat withThe New York Times, she revealed,
It’s lucky I didn’t know much about Aunt May because I might have been horrified if I’d seen the original image of a gray-haired pensioner. Don’t toy with my heart, Marvel. Is that really how you view me? They aged Peter Parker down too. He’s 15 in this movie. I ended up picking the brains of my brother Adam, who’s been an encyclopedia of Marvel since we were little, and he explained that May’s not related to Peter by blood – she’s his aunt by marriage to his uncle Ben. So she could be elderly or pretty young, depending on what age she met her husband.
It’s evident that Marvel managed to please both Marisa Tomei and the fans in this aspect. They did a good job ofreimagining Aunt Mayas a more young and relatable character, resonating with modern audiences. Marvel not only honored the essence of the character but also brought renewed excitement to the Spider-Man franchise. And people were glad her beauty wasn’t covered up.
Romance Between Iron Man and Aunt May That Many Didn’t Know About
Although it might seem strange now to imagine a romance between Iron Man and Aunt May, back in the early 90s, Marisa Tomei andRobert Downey Jr.were a dynamic duo both on andoff-screen.Their brief but impactful romance was speculated to be ignited by their shared experiences in the film industry. Their undeniable on-screen chemistry, especially notable in movies likeChaplinandOnly You,added further fuel to the fire. However, their love story was rather short rather than a long saga.

Their split, though amicable, coincided with a particularly tumultuous phase in Downey Jr.’s life, while Tomei was just beginning to pursue her career. Despite the mystery surrounding the specifics of their breakup, there’s no trace of animosity between them. In fact, RDJ even recommended Tomei for the role of Aunt May. As she herself revealed in an interview withThe Guardian,
He recommended me for the role and we had a flirtatious little scene together in Captain America: Civil War [which introduced Tomei and Holland’s characters last year]. Having a familiar face around certainly made me more comfortable.
During the promotion of these movies, Robert Downey Jr. also playfully teased the Aunt May actress, as well as the fans, with remarks like, “Spider-Man’s got a hot aunt now. My God, imagine the possibilities,”in one show withJimmy Kimmel. Despite the banter, the two remain very good friends to this day. Aunt May went on to become one of the most significant figures in Spider-Man’s life, helping him realize and shape himself into the superhero he was destined to become.
Captain America: Civil War is currently streaming on Disney+
