Academy Award-winning actress Marisa Tomei has been offered the part of Aunt May in Marvel and Sony Studios' untitled "Spider-Man" reboot, Variety reports. The deal has not officially been completed yet, but it is reported that an offer went out to Tomei last week. Young actor Tom Holland ("The Impossible") will play the titular role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
Details about her role are scarce at the moment, but Variety does offer an update on the casting process. The two studios are still searching for a writer, but their primary goal right now is to find a cast who will sign up for a multi-picture run before shooting starts next year.
Holland will make his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut as Spider-Man in next year's "Captain America: Civil War" before getting his own solo adventure in 2017.
