In reply to Ryan. I don't think Aunt May is supposed to be the sibling of Peter Parker's mother or father. She looks 75 or more in the comic books. She's probably a great aunt or something.

I don’t have a problem with the casting so far, both Sheen & fields are just amazing actors, what concerns me about this movie is if they do the exact same thing again with the characters.

If this is an entirely new reboot then do it right, the fans want to see Spidey with mechanical web shooters, we want to see him jaw jack and be the smart ass he’s known for, we really never got that with Maquire and Dunst was just so one dimensional as Mary Jane, okay she just plain sucked period.

I understand where everyone is coming from in regards there really isn’t a reason to reboot the franchise, Sony needed to leave Rami alone and get back to basics, if that couldn’t be done, then hire a newer director and get better script writers, but seriously nobody is going to know how good or bad this new movie is going to be until a trailer is released, then people can make judgements.

I feel like all they’re doing is taking names of stars. What they should do is cast people who are right for the role, not top names of around an age group just to be these characters.

In reply to Rodney.

Anyone remember Forrest Gump? She’ll be convincing as an elder woman, hell she’d be convincing at anything! She’s friggin Sally Field!

My problem is that it just seems strange as hell to do this movie soooo soon, I hope to God it blows us away, and I always had a thing for Sally here, ever since she changed out of her wedding gown in the backseat of Bandit’s Trans-Am.

Lets see a trailer then we can Scream or Cry (for joy i hope)

In reply to NYCKING. She's 64! A little makeup and she easily looks 70-75. This is Hollywood you know.

Looking forward to the reboot. Never liked Tobey Mcguire as Spidey. Don’t really mind the age difference either for Aunt May. Overall I think that if more Spideys were to be made, rebooting was the best option. I enjoyed the other movies regardless of my feeling for Tobey in the roll, but I always felt they were lacking. Something new needed to be done, and hopefully this reboot is the answer.

lol, this reboot is having some of the most stupidist casting in it I’ve ever seen. Jesus Crist. May’s an old lady in the comics. What are they gonna do, put a wig on this woman?

In reply to BAh. We have only seen one. You act like we will be seeing the same story again. There will obviously be common details (I bet there is a radio active spider during a school trip) but we dont know how this is going to play out. It will be interesting to see another director/writer take on the story.

I have ZERO INTEREST in another origin story.
