Spider-Man: No Way Home hasn’t been very good at keeping the thrilling secrets of the webslinging sequel. Tobey Maguire and Andrew garfield They are rumored to be returning as their respective versions of Spider-Man alongside the Marvel Cinematic Universe webhead Tom HollandBut along with the multiple Spider-Men, there have been reports of it Jamie Foxx and Alfred Molina are reprising their vile roles as Electro and Doc Ock, and one of them has finally confirmed their return.
Alfred Molina confirmed, probably to the chagrin of Kevin Feige, that he will indeed be back as Dr. Otto Octavius in Spider-Man: Far From HomeThe actor said: “When we shot the movie, we were all under orders not to talk about it because it had to be a big secret. But you know, it’s all over the web. I actually described myself as the worst kept secret in Hollywood! “Butterfingers!
Variety got confirmation from Alfred Molina in a recent interview. While excited to return to the role, he acknowledged the only major concern he had about returning to a role he played nearly 20 years ago. Molina said:
“It was really interesting to go back after 17 years to play the same role, as in the intervening years I now have two chins, a braid, crow’s feet and a somewhat seedy lower back.”
Molina expressed this concern to the director Jon Watts, which helped the previous one Spider Man movies set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Watts reminded Molina of the digital aging done to the likes of Robert Downey Jr. in Captain America: Civil War and Samuel L. Jackson in Captain Marvel, but that didn’t quite wash away the actor’s concerns. Molina said The Irishman the aging of Robert De Niro and an aspect that did not quite work:
“They made Robert De Niro’s face younger, but when he was fighting he looked like an older man. He looked like an old man! That’s what worried me to do it again. I don’t have the same physicality that I had 17 years ago. “
But again, technology came to the rescue, as Molina said he quickly realized, “It’s the tentacles that do all the work … the poor do all the killing and hitting and breaking.”
That means we’ll get the full, mean version of Doc Ock Spider-Man 2In fact, Molina has revealed exactly when Spider-Man: Far From HomHe catches up with Doc Ock again. No matter what happens in the sequel, Alfred Molina will be featured in the climactic moment of Spider-Man 2 when his unstable experimental fusion reactor threatens to devastate New York City and Peter Parker persuades him to raise the mechanical arms that drove him mad and stop the machine. Perhaps this moment will be interrupted, without giving Doc Ock his moment of redemption and keeping him as a villain.
