Spider Man, the franchise, owes a lot to Alfred Molina. Of the various villains who appeared in 8 Spider Man films made since 2002, Molina’s Otto Octavius is generally considered the best, highlighting the mix of sympathetic and sociopathic needed to truly get under the skin of Peter Parker. This legacy is part of what has been done unconfirmed reports that Molina would repeat them Spider-Man 2 role for the future Spider-Man: No Way Home so interesting. Unconfirmed by Sony or Marvel, anyway; Molina is perfectly happy to confirm the shit in this news.
This is per variety, who spoke with Molina this week about his role in the Oscar nominee Promising woman, and then found out it was 100% game to talk and about sliding back into the tentacles for the third Tom Holland Spider Man movie. “When we filmed it, we were all ordered not to talk about it, because it had to be a big secret,” Molina said, before noticing that the news was on the Internet until early December. “Actually, I described myself as the worst kept secret in Hollywood!”
Molina, as is usual in interviews, was both funny and entertaining about the return show, noting that “it was very interesting to go back after 17 years to play the same role, given that in the coming years , now I have two beards, a lattice, crow’s feet and a slightly dodgy back. He also talked about rediscovering the secret of a really great actress Doc Ock: “I remembered then that tentacles do all the work,” he joked, before noticing that his major physical contribution was a serious glow. .
As for the plot, Molina remained mostly quiet – probably because the Marvel anti-spoiler snipers who watched him as a hawk did not receive the call to shoot. But he confirmed that, from Otto’s point of view, he appears immediately after entering the river Spider-Man 2. (When asked about the chronology on this topic, re: his face, director Jon Watts asked Molina: “Did you see what I did? Bob Downey Jr. and Sam Jackson? When Molina asked about the whole thing dying, meanwhile, Watts told her, “In this universe, no one really dies.”
One topic that Molina did not get into, however, was No Way Home cameo rumors that still have the highest question marks revolving around them, namely: Will Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield also to appear in the film, who is expected to send Tom Holland’s Spidey spiraling around the world through The Multiverse Of Marketing? Apparently, not even Molina wants to face that special firewall of studio secrecy.
