It was a decidedly younger version of May than we have seen in the past, going from groovy granny to AILF (aunt I'd like to...) With both Aunt May and Stark featuring heavily in the upcoming #superhero epic, Tomei has now revealed that she too imagined a more classic iteration of May.

How 'Dead Poets Society' Changed My Entire Outlook on Life
To quote Henry David Thoreau: "All men want, not something to do with, but something to do, or rather something to be." Although Thoreau's words were a bit over my head when I first read them, I remember that I've always been drawn to the writings of much smarter men and women than I. So, while reading books like Walden, A Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis and The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins in my early teenage years, I gleaned wisdom without actually understanding what I was absorbing. It wasn't until later in my life when I first saw the movie Dead Poets Society that I began recalling the words of wisdom that Thoreau had imparted upon me several years earlier.
