Marisa Tomei talks about her role of Aunty May in Spider-Man 3

In an interview with a daily, Marisa Tomei revealed about her hopes for Aunty May’s future in the MCU. She said that she always talked with director Jon Watts about her character being a community organizer. Tomei expressed that she hopes this track will expand and be part of Spider-Man 3 as well.

During the beginning of Spider-Man: Far From Home, Marisa Tomei as Aunt May was seen as a community organizer. She seems to be helping the people of the city to recover from the snap by Thanos and after they returned from “the blip” by Tony Stark / Iron Man. Peter Parker and May were also turned to dust and the latter providing support to others said to show her heroic deeds like her nephew Spider-Man.

Marisa Tomei’s role as a community organizer was not shown further in Spider-Man sequel. However, the upcoming third instalment could possibly focus on that aspect. But it would seem complicated after the event of Far From Home. It is because Jake Gyllenhaal as Quentin Beck / Mysterio revealed the real identity of Spider-Man as Peter Parker. This could pose a threat to Peter as well as May’s life and even to his close friends like Ned Leeds and MJ, essayed by Jacob Batalon and Zendaya, respectively.

Fans are also waiting to see the relationship build up between Marisa Tomei as Aunty May and Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan. The two developed a bond which was shown in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Although it is currently unclear if Favreau will appear as Hogan in Spider-Man 3 or not. If their relationship is shown, then Happy can help May in her work as a community organizer, as he is the head of security for Stark Industries and also a close friend of Pepper Potts, played by Gwyneth Paltrow.
