Well... she does somewhat resemble the Ultimate comics version of the character, I suppose.

Also,
Martin Sheen to play Uncle Ben?
Didn't see anything posted about either of these items yet.

I can see Sheen as Uncle Ben, but Sally Field? Poor lady isn't that old! Well, at least not when i imagine what Aunt May looks like.

With each new update on this film, my interest wanes further and that really ticks me off because Spidey is one of my all-time favourite heroes.

Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben... YES!
Sally Field as Aunt May... eh, mebbe if she dyed her hair?
I want to like this reboot, but the more I hear about it, the more disinterested I get. I do not like Andrew Garfield as Peter and unless they make the movie more about May and Ben (which it should not be) it just seems to me that all the best talent is being wasted in peripheral characters.

Even worse, as Sony owns the SM film rights there is no way we will even get a sniff of Spider-Man showing up in the Marvel Universe that is being built on the silver screen (Iron Man, Avengers, etc.).
Go Team Venture!
I like her! I really, really, like her!
Life's a box of radio-active spiders, Peter. You never know what mutate gonna get.
That's cool, she has her own super powers.

Spiderman 3 I can get by the escaped convict falling into an open air particle accelerator (we have one in the vacant lot next door and I am always telling my 8 year old to stop playing near it), I can even get by the space slime landing coincidently metres from Peter and jumping on his bike... What I cant get past is Mary Jane. What a ******* *****. In the first movie she is letting the school bully do her, then she lets the rich guy, then Peter has a turn. In the second movie she goes through about eighteen different guys before abandoning her big expensive wedding after realising Peter is spiderman. In the third film I think she does about sixty guys and whinges a lot about peter saving lives instead of coming to the theatre to watch her crap acting. Why does he put up with her? It makes no sense and is the one glaring discrepancy in an otherwise completely scientifically believable movie. |

I can see Martin Sheen taking the reins from Cliff Robertson.
I *cannot* see Sally Field as Aunt May!

I haven't been reading Ultimate Spidey, but apparently May and Ben aren't as old as they are/were in 616. IGN described them as ex-hippies, which means Field and Sheen are just about the right age.
Though it does make one wonder...why spend Sheen cash on a character that should be dead at most 20 mins into the movie? Also...why why why do another origin of Spidey movie?

Sally Field bleaches/colors her hair, she's already in her 60's...
I see no problem. Hell...in the 90's Spider-Man cartoon, Aunt May looked more like Grandma May...

That was just being true to the comics.. Aunt May was always depicted as being a member of Peter's grandparent's generation, rather than his parents, going back as far as I can remember|

Or everyone in his family just waited way late in life to have kids.

For the record, I like her, too. I think she is great, but she isn't anything like Aunt May.
