Rumour: Marisa Tomei’s Aunt May to appear in Captain America: Civil War

August 25, 2015 by Gary Collinson

We heard back in July that Marisa Tomei (The Wrestler) is set to take on the role of Peter Parker’s (Tom Holland) Aunt May in Sony and Marvel’s Spider-Man reboot, but a rumour from Heroic Hollywood (sorry!) is suggesting we won’t have to wait until 2017 to get our first look at Aunt Tomei.

According to the site, Tomei has secretly filmed scenes for next year’s Phase Three launching Captain America: Civil War, which wrapped its production this past weekend. Take this as unconfirmed, but with Spider-Man appearing, it certainly wouldn’t be a surprise to see May Parker making an appearance…

Captain America: Civil War is set for release on April 29th 2016 in the UK and May 6th 2016 in the States, with Anthony and Joe Russo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) directing a cast that includes Marvel Cinematic Universe veterans Chris Evans (Steve Rogers/Captain America), Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark/Iron Man), Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson/Falcon), Jeremy Renner (Clint Barton/Hawkeye), Scarlett Johansson (Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow), Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier), Elizabeth Olsen (Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch), Paul Bettany (The Vision), Don Cheadle (James Rhondes/War Machine), Paul Rudd (Scott Lang/Ant-Man), Emily VanCamp (Sharon Carter) and Frank Grillo (Brock Rumlow/Crossbones) and William Hurt (General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross) alongside new additions Chadwick Boseman (Get on Up) as T’Challa/Black Panther, Daniel Bruhl (Rush) as Baron Zemo, Martin Freeman (Sherlock) and Tom Holland (The Impossible) as Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
