Sally Field as Aunt May? Well, Martin sheen is Uncle Ben



New Spider-Man reboot news! Martin Sheen will be Uncle Ben and Sally could be Aunt May.
Sally Field as Aunt May?
The actress is in early talks to play Peter Parker’s beloved aunt in the new Spider-Man movie, which Marc Webb is directing for Columbia.
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.
Interesting choices.

They are probably going more for the character type they used for May in Ultimate Spidey. Where she was mature but far from frail and elderly. A much more empowered Aunt May.
