As if Mary Jane joining the cast of Superior Iron Man isn't enough, now we have news that another important member of Peter's family is joining up in another title. Writer Chip Zdarsky mentioned that Aunt May will be in Howard the Duck! From CBR's Howard the Duck interview with Zdarsky and artist Joe Quinones:
And here is Aunt May on the cover of #1, with more appearances in the preview panels.How are Howard and Tara when you pick things up with them in #1, which takes place after a time jump following the end of "Secret Wars"? Have things changed much for them since we last saw them, and are they interacting with any new supporting characters?
Tara's much more comfortable using her abilities now, which means she's more able to be thrown into crazier circumstances and revels in it. Howard, however, is at a low point. He legitimately feels like the universe is trying to kill him and is, frankly, growing tired of it.
And Aunt May has joined the cast! Howard clearly needed an office administrator, so she's come on to help out when she's in town from Boston. We're spending a fair amount of time in space for this volume, though, so we don't get to utilize her as much as I'd hoped. We also have Joe's cat Biggs in the office as a half-cat, half-robot, because Joe's cat is the best and we're drunk with low-level power.
If you read the pre-Secret Wars Howard the Duck, you'll know that

Aunt May was among the elderly Ringmaster hypnotized into searching an item of power, so she's met Howard already.
