Ben and May then adopted baby Peter. Ben died when Peter was 15, so he would have been around 65 then. If Peter is mid 20s now, then May would likely be mid 70s. Yeah, Steve Ditko in those early days did draw Aunt May to look really old, like she was nearing 100. Later artists would draw her as appearing a lot younger.
I always thought it was an unnecessary crutch to have to have Spidey always run away because aunt may fainted or something. A younger Aunt May in her 50's is possibly more related to today's generation? She can still have health concerns but balanced with some kind of modern active lifestyle.
On top of that there are still the other life issues like paying the bills, getting a minimum wage job to support her and Peter... which I think Sally Field did in ASM2 if I recall.

Motley Fool looks at how both Disney and Sony can win big with Spider-Man:

Take heart, Spidey fans. Your favorite web-slinging superhero may still be in line to receive the proper big-screen treatment he deserves. In this case, that could be a huge catalyst for investors in both Sony (NYSE: SNE ) and The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS ) .
Despite the fact Disney acquired Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion in 2009, Sony still holds the film rights to Spider-Man. And it's no mystery Sony Pictures has made a bundle in its attempts to capitalize on those rights, generating nearly $4 billion in gross box office receipts from five separate films featuring the character since 2002.

Holy shit that sounds awful. Maguire vs. Garfield? Stone as Carnage? No way that is real.

I would assume that potential meeting would be happening soon though.

Yeah, the summit is happening this month. Anything that has Marvel involvement is A-OK with me, as well as the Russos directing. & Raimi producing. Arad? Garfield v Mcguire? Insanity.

J.K. Simmons on playing J. Jonah Jameson again:
I just heard we . . . that that's a possibility.

If Marvel could take ANYTHING of value from Raimi or Webb... J.K. Fuckin' Simmons was easily the best thing out of all the Sony Spidey films to happen. He WAS Jameson. That Flatopped motherucker.

I dunno about you guys but Simmons, to me, sounded exactly how I imagined JJJ to sound like. Did anyone think he'd sound differently before we got Simmons?

Yes, it was announced today. Looks like the powers that be, probably being her friend's at Sony Pictures, let her save face by moving elsewhere in the company. I suspect not many studios are going to hire her for similar work now.

Still not sure about the Sony movies, but the move into the MCU is the right direction. So does that mean Spidey will make an appearance in Civil War?

Wow, quick thread title change! Was just going to say that it sounds like another reboot given the wording. I just hope they don't do yet another origin movie.

That was Thor 3's release date wasn't it? (I imagine they'd move it a bit) Maybe they'll be able to introduce the new Spidey in Civil War?

They're smart enough to work with Marvel, so hopefully this is a new direction for them. Plus apparently Kaz Hirai was pissed they couldn't come to an agreement earlier, at least that's what some of the leaked email reports said.
