Homecoming Cast the Marvel Spidey Universe, again - Part 1

[Rodrigo90]

Age her up a bit like Diane Lane was in MOS, and you've got something good here!

 

[Daedalus]

Too hot!

Indeed. Plus, too young.

But, if they are going with someone in her forties, I can see Amy Ryan:

Oscar-winning actress, too!

 

[Dark Raven]

Tea is the same age Diane Lane was in MOS. And we're not talking about 1990s Tea Leone here where she was more overtly sexy, but Madam Secretary era Tea.

[Whiskey Tango]

Love Amy Ryan^^

 

[Rodrigo90]

Maybe not THAT much, but it's on the right tracks!

 

[FVD]

Jim Caviezel as George Stacy.

 

[FVD]

Isn`t Keitel a little too "badass" to play Uncle Ben. Uncle Ben is supposed to be that lovable, slightly large parental figure.

Thought occurred to me that Keitel oughta play Dan Turpin for the DCU.

 

[Human Torch]

Enough with the young Aunt Mays!

I want an Aunt May who can make wheatcakes,not win a beauty pageant!

You want an Aunt May on her death bed, you mean?

I've already suggested Julie Andrews. She will be 80 this year though. How will she realistically continue this role if you cast someone as old as her?

And why should Aunt May be old enough to be Peter's grandmother? Heck, Rosemary Harris now is old enough to be Peter's great grandmother at 87 if he is still in his mid teens. Even when she played the part before in 2002 she was old enough to be his great grandmother.

Either they change the relationship to May actually being Peter's great aunt, or they make her a more appropriate age.

 

[Double B]

I'm so disappointed Sally Field has been wasted. She's wonderful.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I didn't think much of her Aunt May.

 

[Dark Raven]

I bet that if any casual viewers were trying to remember the relationship between Peter and May from the films, they'd probably say it's his grandmother if they didn't know it was his aunt and saw pics of Rosemary Harris. Quite possibly even with Sally Field.

 

[CaptainWagner]

Jim Caviezel as George Stacy.

I suggest Cavaziel for all sorts of roles, but I don't know if Captain Stacy would fit him. Enrico Colantoni would be perfect, in my opinion.

I don`t know. Of the two names, I like Cavaziel better.

Although I do think Captain Stacy needs to be a little more "tired of it all" this time around. There has been an Alien Invasion in his city, nothing should impress him anymore.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Clint Eastwood

 

[Dark Raven]

How about Judd Hirsch for Uncle Ben?

He's very humorous too and somewhat acerbic with his wit.

While some people put Bill Murray forward as the reason Peter is funny as well, the thing is that Bill Murray's humour is somewhat different to Peter's. Murray's is more deadpan and dry. Wouldn't Peter end up with that same way of responding to people and situations? His Spider-Man would just come across differently.

You have to admit this is a pretty great fan cast at least?

Ford would be a great Uncle Ben, but I don't want another origin, so Ben shouldn't have a big role. Ford still needs a superhero role, though.

 

[Dark Raven]

Harrison Ford is a bit old for Uncle Ben. He is 72 , and he certainly looks quite old now.

Think about it really. If Peter is 16-18, then Richard Parker would have to probably be at least 18 years older. But say he's not, and he was 25 to 30 years old when Peter was born. Then how much older is Uncle Ben going to be that he's already 72 now? In his mid to late 50s? There would have to be a huge gap of about 25 to 30 years between Ben and Richard.

But even if there were, then how old was Ben and Richard's mother when she gave birth to Richard? If say, Ben was already 30 years old when Richard was born, she would probably have to be in her late 40s to early 50s at the very least. That doesn't really seem a very time to be having another child, especially after she already has a fully grown son. And why would she suddenly want another child then, or what would have made her wait so long between children for there to be a 25-30 year gap?

This is why it doesn't really make much sense for Ben and May to be in their 70s. Rosemary Harris was way too old for the part really.

And in fact, were Ben and May really that old in the comics? Or were they just depicted as such, because that was Steve Ditko's idea of what a couple in their 50s might look like, especially back in the 1960s? Even in TV shows or films back then, when people were shown to be in their 50s, they looked much older than what they might really look like.

A classic example is the Star Trek episode "The Deadly Years" in which Captain Kirk and some of his crew began rapidly aging. At one point, Captain Kirk was meant to be the equivalent of someone in his 50s or more, but he looked positively ancient, and way older than William Shatner looked when he was actually in his 50s, which would've been around the time of the first few Star Trek films.

I believe that it was just Ditko's idea of how older people should look, but while some do look old even in their 30s, there are many who don't look all that old in their 50s. Look at women like Diane Lane, Madeleine Stowe, Monica Belluci, Emma Thompson, among many others.

So I think an Aunt May and Uncle Ben who are in their 50s now, as opposed to being in their 50s when Peter was born is a far more suitable age, and their appearance should reflect it.

I'm not against casting an older actress if they look still relatively youthful for their age, like Meryl Streep, but I don't think Aunt May should ever look like Rosemary Harris again who could easily be mistaken for Peter's grandmother.

 

[CaptainWagner]

See, the problem is that in the comics, for the longest time, Ben and May were always drawn to look like they could be Peter's grandparents.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Amanda Seyfried - Black Cat

 

[Rodrigo90]

After her recent one piece photoshoot, I agree

 

[The Infernal]

I wouldn't mind a more age appropriate Aunt May and Uncle Ben this time rather than a couple who look overdue for a nursing home.

 

[Eddie Dean]

After her recent one piece photoshoot, I agree

Pics or it didn't happen.
