The Aunt May of the MCU has been criticized as too young in the Spider-Man trilogy, but No Way Home justifies her youth in a courageous way.


Spider-Man: No Way Home finally used Aunt May's youth in the MCU to its advantage. A lot has been said about the character from the comics decreasing in age across franchises, as Andrew Garfield's The Amazing Spider-Man started this trend by casting a younger-looking Aunt May, Sally Field. The MCU's Spider-Man story followed suit by choosing Marisa Tomei as May, who was in her early 50s when Spider-Man: Homecoming was released but portrayed the character in a younger and more modern way.


With Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, George Lucas wanted to move away from having the Nazis as the bad guys of the franchise. In order to avoid this, he made the second film a prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark and had it take place in India. In contrast to this initial wish, Indiana Jones 5 will see Harrison Ford's archeologist fight against the fascist regime one last time.

The first two movies of the MCU Spider-Man trilogy didn't give a reason as to why May was so youthful in the universe. No Way Home changed that by truly making her involved with Spider-Man's mission. May being at the center of the action by battling Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin alongside Spider-Man showcases, and in turn justifies, her youth, as an older May might struggle with the physical effort. It allowed her to participate more in Spider-Man's story and defend her nephew, even though it did lead to her death by Green Goblin's glider.
