Spider-Man Runs From Doc Ock in New SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Photo
A couple of new photos have been released from the upcoming film Spider-Man: No Way Home. One features Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) being chased down on a freeway by Doctor Octopus. Alfred Molina is returning to reprise the role he played in the 2004 film Spider-Man 2 as this new outing sees Peter taking on the unimaginable after his plea for help leads to Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) splitting open the multiverse. The second photo shows Spider-Man in attack mode.
MCU President Kevin Feige talked to Empire about the choice to bring Molina back, saying:
"I remember having discussions with Amy Pascal years ago. 'Do we want to revisit villains we've seen before?' No, let's do Vulture, and Mysterio, and characters we haven't brought to the screen before. But I remember thinking, 'How would you even do Doc Ock again?', because Alfred Molina is perfect casting. If you ever brought him back, it would have to be him somehow."
Even the original Spider-Man trilogy director Sam Raimi weighed in on Molina’s return, saying:
"That was beautiful. He looks great, the animation's great. I'm assuming it's not puppeted because when we did Doc Ock, we had puppets and animation for his octopus tentacles. But it was smooth and powerful and I loved his costume they kept [from the original]. I think it's gonna be a great movie."
I think everyone is pretty certain that this is going to be a great movie, and we can’t wait to see the veteran cast members returning to the screen. Spider-Man: No Way Home is set to swing into theaters on December 17th. Are you pumped?!
