Sally Field In Talks To Play Aunt May
THR is reporting that Sally Field is in talks to star as Aunt May in the upcoming Marc Webb's Spider-Man reboot. The actress is in early talks to play Peter Parker’s beloved aunt in the new Spider-Man movie.
The news comes on the heels of Martin Sheen in final negotiations to play Uncle Ben in the relaunch of the movie franchise.
Aunt May is a key supporting character in Peter Parker/Spider-Man’s life, as she is the only family the young hero has.
In the early comics, she was portrayed as a frail lady who worried over her nephew, trying to set him up with the neighbor’s daughter, and frequently got sick, adding to Peter's personal woes.
In addition to Sheen, the new movie, which begins shooting in December, has Andrew Garfield as Peter, Emma Stone as love interest Gwen Stacy and Rhys Ifans as the movie’s unnamed villain.
Field’s last major studio role was in 2003’s Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, although she did star in the 2006 indie drama Two Weeks. She is more recently known for her work on ABC’s Brothers & Sisters.
