If there’s one thing that comic book fans can agree on, it’s that Alfred Molina was a fantastic Doctor Octopus in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man film. While it seemed that we may have never seen Molina reprise his role in the future, the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer revealed that the actor is back to reprise his role.
Sam Raimi is directing Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but he has some words for Molina’s return to the character:
“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.”
Spider-Man: No Way Home hits theaters on December 17th, where we can see Molina in his glory as Doc Ock. Are you excited for Molina’s return? Let us know!
