Marisa Tomei wanted to make Spider-Man’s Aunt May a lesbian

As if “Spider-Man: No Way Home” didn’t have enough epic reveals [spoiler alert]: Marisa Tomei said she campaigned to have her character be a lesbian in the franchise’s final installment. The 57-year-old Oscar winner dropped the bombshell in a Dec. 19 interview with the Geeks of Color.
“There was a moment, where I felt that May — maybe she should just be with a woman because Ben is gone,” claimed Tomei, who plays Peter Parker’s Aunt May Parker in the critically acclaimed superhero flick. She was referring to her character’s deceased husband, Ben Parker, who is infamously murdered by a burglar in the comic books and films.
If that wasn’t juicy enough, the “My Cousin Vinny” star even proposed that her on-screen lady lover be none other than Sony producer Amy Pascal.
quote:
“And we were kind of talking about it,” the Brooklyn native explained while erupting into laughter. “And so I actually really wanted Amy Pascal from Sony to be my girlfriend!”
She added, “I was like, ‘No one even has to know, Amy. I’ll just be in a scene and you’ll be over there. And I’ll just be like, “Hey!” It’ll just be a subtle thing.'”
Unfortunately, her idea for a cinematic coming-out party was shut down by film execs.

That would have been so brave

Peter's spider senses go off, but it's just Aunt May scissoring

She just made the list.

These actors are just so much more intelligent and sophisticated than us commoners

In other words, it's simply a choice?
There will be some 300lb purple-hairs (who go for the taco because no hot dogs wanted to go near their blubbersnatch) who cheer this but then there's going to those who were born lesbians who will have a slightly different take.

That would have caused what will probably be a 1.5 - 2 bill grossing movie into one that grossed maybe 1 billion...maybe

This sounds more like her virtue signaling than really campaigning hard for it to happen.

Ya gonna shoot a deeuh?

But why?
Outside of a few people, nobody at this point cares if a character is gay as long as it does something for the movie/tv show or it just doesn't matter.
She wanted that thing ham fisted in and celebrated, despite the actual source material.

If it's that important to her to be in a lesbian scene, Vivid video would probably be willing to film one for her.

Or I could film it with my iPhone. It's not a big deal, I'm not real busy or anything. Instead of that Amy chick, though, Marisa should call Salma and we'll get this rolling.

I'd watch Marisa go down on another woman.

Look man, if someone wants to put Marisa Tomei in a movie scissoring it away, I’m not gonna ask too many questions about it and just enjoy the show

So she thinks being gay is a choice.... How privileged of her.

I think that's my favorite George storyline.
