That role will now be played by 50-year-old.
Just to put that in perspective for you: Aunt May was portrayed by Rosemary Harris (75) and Sally Field (66) in previous incarnations of Spiderman.
And now it’s been played by a 50-year-old.
The news is making everyone feel unbearably old.
Are you for real, Hollywood?
Whoops!
