DOC OCK. MOTHERFUCKING ALFRED MOLINA BACK AS DOC OCK. NO ONE TALK TO ME UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO SCREAM MY EXCITEMENT IN YOUR FACE. SPIDER-MAN 3 HAS ALL MY BEST INTERESTS AT HEART

Alfred Molina first played the role of scientist Otto Octavius who, through a tragic accident in his laboratory, becomes the supervillain Doctor Octopus way back in 2004’s seminal comic book sequel Spider-Man 2. While some fans resort to screaming their excitement towards the sky, others quite rightly feel that is the universe making up for what has been a not-so-brilliant year.

Of course, Molina’s Doctor Octopus is not the only Spidey villain due to return in the MCU’s Spider-Man sequel, with Jamie Foxx’s Electro also reportedly locked in to make an appearance. Understandably, this has led many to believe that Spider-Man 3 will revolve around the multiverse.

Multiple villains being brought in from different Spider-Man outings have in turn led to even more rumors and rampant speculation that previous Peter Parkers Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will also be added to proceedings, and thus birth the Spider-Verse in live action.
we got Jamie Foxx back as Electro and we got Alfred Molina back as Doc Ock
it’s really only a matter of time before Andrew and Tobey are confirmed and that Spider-Man 3 is gonna be Spider-Verse related. pic.twitter.com/iJqkItsoXe

These rumors beget more rumors, with fans left wondering when the return of Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin will be announced.

Now, while the excitement over such a stacked cast is palpable, there are those who have entered the debate to slowly drip cold water onto the idea, believing that all these roles will be mere cameos within a wider story.
Dollars to donuts it’ll be a quick little cameo while exploring other universes. Same for Foxx. Still, it’ll be nice to see him back in the role!

Following a series of delays due to the ongoing global situation, production on Spider-Man 3 is now well underway. While specific plot details remain under wraps, it was recently revealed that Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange will join Spidey on his latest adventure, with the character set to take on the mentor role previously held by Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man. While that may not be too surprising an addition, the Doctor Strange sequel is set to follow the Master of the Mystic Arts as he tackles the multiverse, opening up the possibility that Spider-Man 3 will be a continuation of this theme and ultimately lead to all kinds of comic book craziness.
Should the theories concerning the multiverse prove to be false, it’s anyone’s guess how the likes of Molina’s Doc Ock and Foxx’s Electro will be introduced. Considering that both characters were killed off in their respective franchises, even bringing them back via alternate universes still proves a little bit of a problem.
Unfortunately, it will be some time before we see how all the pieces fit together. Originally, Spider-Man 3 was set for a release date of July 16, 2021, as part of the much-anticipated Phase 4 of the MCU. Due to the ongoing global circumstances, the entire Phase has now been dramatically reshuffled with Spider-Man 3 now scheduled to swing into UK and US cinemas on December 17, 2021. The news of Alfred Molina’s return was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

I’m sure this will be a lot of fun. I enjoy the MCU Spider-Man a lot and I enjoyed a lot about the other Spider-Man movies too. But this is getting us farther and farther away from what actually made the original Spider-Man a great character. https://t.co/MvcQuTTNKd

Pretty excited about Alfred Molina coming back as #DoctorOctopus who was in my opinion, the best villain in the 2000’s #SpiderVersepic.twitter.com/jnWo5fY7g6

This gif is overused. I have never once deployed it myself. But that Alfred Molina news for Spider-Man 3 this morning pretty much made me do exactly this. I’d go so far as to say he is still the best cinematic Spidey villain, and the implications are even better. #spiderversepic.twitter.com/So2Ck9OJka
