'Spider-Man: Homecoming': How The Actors' Ages Compare With ...

Skip to content

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” largely takes place in the high school of Spidey’s alter-ego, Peter Parker (Tom Holland). Appropriately, it’s filled with high schoolers. But while the characters in the movie are all around the ages of 15 to 18, Hollywood routinely casts actors who are much older in such roles. So how old are the actors of “Spider-Man: Homecoming?” Here are all the kid characters and their actors’ true ages.

Peter Parker (Tom Holland)

Character age: 15

Actual age: 21

Michelle (Zendaya)

Character age: About 15

Actual age: 20

Ned (Jacob Batalon)

Character age: 15

Actual age: 20

Liz (Laura Harrier)

Character age: 17 or 18

Actual age: 27

Flash (Tony Revolori)

Character age: Between 16 and 18

Actual age: 21

Abe (Abraham Attah) 

Character age: Around 15

Actual age: 16

Betty (Angourie Rice)

Cindy (Tiffany Espensen)

Seymour (J.J. Totah)

Aunt May (Marisa Tomei)

Actual age: 52

The character of Aunt May has been portrayed as much older than Marisa Tomei. In the films starring Tobey Maguire, Rosemary Harris was 75 when she played Aunt May. 

In the Andrew Garfield-starring “Amazing Spider-Man” movies, Sally Field played Aunt May at 65.

Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.)

Actual age: 52

Billionaire playboy and part-time Iron Man Tony Stark is actually the same age as Aunt May in “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” That further highlights the interesting choice of aging down this interpretation of Aunt May, as well as Tony’s desire to possibly start preparing a new crop of superheroes to take over the Avengers mantle. It’s starting to make sense that Tony is figuring he can’t do this superhero gig forever.

Adrian Toomes (Michael Keaton)

Actual age: 65

In the Marvel “Spider-Man” comics, Adrian Toomes, also known as Vulture, is often portrayed as a retiree or even older.
