At 50 years of age, the Oscar-winning actress of "My Cousin Vinny" is making four of five movies a year, all of which greatly boost Marisa Tomei's net worth, though she's kept out of major film productions for a while - although rumors have started that she may be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the near future.
According to an exclusive story by Variety, Marisa Tomei's net worth could see a major boost in the near future, as the star is currently in the final talks to play Aunt May in the upcoming "Spider-Man" film reboot starring Tom Holland, in a role that has been played by Rosemary Harris and two-time Oscar winner Sally Field.
Seeing as the "Wrestler" star mostly focuses on independent films, this could be a big change for Marisa Tomei's net worth, after she has been in the film industry for over three decades.
However, The Guardian reports that, although the role could do a lot for Marisa Tomei's net worth, there has been some heavy backlash against the possibility of the actress being cast as Aunt May, a character much older in the comic books - in all, Twitter has seen a lot of complaints over the casting due to the fact that Tomei's considered too "hot" for the role, also accusing Marvel execs of being "ageist."
Other fans have pointed out that, after it was decided that the new portrayal of "Spider-Man" would see the genetically enhanced superhero at a much younger age during his high school years, it's not absurd that Aunt May also looks younger.
Could Marvel's box office power be added to Marisa Tomei's net worth?
In the past, Tomei has shared the screen with some of the biggest names in Marvel movies, including Robert Downey Jr., Iron Man in the MCU, with whom she starred in the 1994 romantic comedy "Only You."
She also shared the screen with recent "Spider-Man" actress Emma Stone in "Crazy Stupid Love."
According to Celebrity Net Worth, the current Marisa Tomei net worth stands at $20 million - though it could go up a few zeros if she were really cast in the role of Aunt May!
