Alfred Molina Will Be Back as Doctor Octopus in SPIDER-MAN 3!
Alfred Molina is set to reprise his role as Doctor Octopus in Marvel and Sony’s Spider-Man 3! This is yet another cool and unexpected surprise!
Molina played Dr. Otto Octavius in director Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 alongside Tobey Maguire. I thought Molina was awesome in this role, so I’m pretty stoked that we will get to see him again as this character.
The upcoming Spider-Man adventure is expected to feature multiple generations of Spider-Man actors. It was already announced that Jamie Foxx will appear as Electro, and there are rumors that Maguire and Andrew Garfield could show up as well, taking on their versions of Spider-Man.
Spider-Man 3 will also include Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, which explains how this whole story is going to blast off into the multiverse. Damn… I can’t wait to see how this story plays out!
Zendaya, Marisa Tomei, Tony Revolori, and Jacob Batalon are all reprising their roles, and Jon Watts is returning to helm the sequel. The movie is currently set to be released on December 17th, 2021.
What do you think of Alfred Molina reprising his role as Doctor Octopus!? I can’t wait to see what other casting and character surprises are coming!
