First look at Sophie Turner As Lara Croft

[Kai "the spy"]

If I understand this correctly, Sophie Turner is too young to play a Golden Girl, but not too young to play Aunt May.

I mean heck, in the original Exorcist movie Max von Sydow was only 44 when he played the 72 year-old Father Merrin but folks were certain he was actually and old man in real life.

I'm only 15 years older than my nephew, because my sister is 6 years older than me and got married to an asshole at 19.

During her training for playing Lara, Sophie Turner discovered that she has a chronic back problem.

I just hope continuing her training and doing the show doesn't cause her any major problems.

Of course you can make the math work, you can also make the math work and have May be younger than Peter but her being in her mid 40s to maybe early 50s is the more likely scenario. And oc course those characters were crated in 1962, so Peter would have been born shortly after WW2. Back then people had children much earlier than today, May being in her 30s would have been believable and no reader would have questioned that.

You said May should be in her 40s, I'm just pointing out that it's perfectly reasonable that she's much older. I think making May younger in Holland's movies was a good idea myself.

She probably will. This was about her getting in shape for the part.

Wasn't Marisa Tomei Aunt May good enough? Not too old to be crusty but not too young for fans to get lusty

Realistically she should be (more or less, 50s is fine too). To make her significantly older sou had to make several assumptions like Richard being much older than Mary and Ben being much older than Richard. That is of course possible, everything is possible but we should ask ourselves how likely it is.

The weirdest thing is that if the comic wanted Peter to live with an old relative, why not make May his grandmother? How old and frail she was was a constant plot point, so it wasn't just that she was drawn older than she was supposed to be.

I think making May younger in Holland's movies was a good idea myself.

And she wasn't even that young, Marisa Tomei was already in her 50s when Homecoming was filmed.

Wasn't their complaints that she was "too sexy" to be Aunt May ?

That was indeed one of the complaints but you can't win with those movies no matter what you do it seemed

As Stan Lee always said, with great hotness comes great responsibility.

What? The Marisa tomei version was the one I was referring to in my post. That's the one I read a story about.

Beh, they should've just gone all the way and had Sean Bean play Uncle Ben to equal the sexiness.
