Love the guy, and he`s plenty likable for Uncle Ben. Looks like him too.
Though I`ve always pictured Brendan Gleeson playing Doctor Faustus in the MCU:

Tell me they don`t look exactly alike.
Anyway, maybe Craig T. Nelson for hippie Uncle Ben?
Yup, seen him suggested for Faustus a few times. Honestly he'd be great either way. He can do both scary as hell or kindly & lovable. Villains are so often one and done though I'd feel like he got wasted. At least with Ben he could easily be a reoccurring character via flashbacks.
Rosemary Harris was what as Aunt May? 74?
With Helen Mirren, whom is 70 this year, she can easily give off that classic Aunt May vibe, but bring out a more youthful feeling, in a sense that you wouldn't identify her as a granny like Rosemary.

I would rather have Julie Andrews if we were going for this age range. And Julie is less granny-like than Harris as well. And you would also be able to see where Peter gets his humor from with her too, as well as his goodness and decency. Julie is also a bigger name than Mirren. Julie is a true legend.

She's almost 80![]()
Unfortunately yes.That's 6 years older than the age Harris was as Aunt May. Her actual age is what would count against her even though she comes across even now as more youthful than Harris was back then.

...Uh.
My Spider-Sense is confused.

I'm confused too....
Was she sexier back then or now?![]()

If they do get Helen Mirren, I might actually be convinced she was at some time a badass Agent.
I love Mirren, but maybe she`s a bit too badass. Like my problem with Harvey Keitel as Uncle Ben, I think the Parkers are supposed to be those kind of people who couldn`t harm a fly.
Too hot!
