Alfred Molina is probably in Marvel Prison after wandering the “Spider-Man” sequence

In a real form of villain, Alfred Molina essentially ruined the plot of the future “Spider-Man: No Way Home”.

Regardless of Marvel’s network of undisclosed deals that keep its sworn stars secret, the actor has confirmed that he will resume his role of the evil tentacle Doctor Octopus, aka Doc Ock, in the sequel led by Tom Holland 17 years after he played for the first time the role.

“When we filmed it, we were all ordered not to talk about it, because it had to be a big big secret,” Molina told Variety in an interview published Friday. “But, you know, it’s all over the internet. In fact, I described myself as the worst kept secret in Hollywood! ”

Reports claimed last year that Molina, who first faced Toby Maguire’s web-slinger in “Spider-Man 2” in 2004, should have returned to the franchise in a super-combined crossover.

Marvel boss Kevin Feige and Spider-Man Tom Holland have since given up on rumors about characters from the past appearing in the blockbuster superhero, which is set to hit theaters in December.

However, Molina did not have such blockages discussing specific details about the plot about how her character returns, explaining that the film will be resumed from “that moment” at the end of “Spider-Man 2”, with his character drowning in the East. Bad.

The actor said he was initially confused about how the new sequel will reverse Doc Ock’s final fate, until director Jon Watts explained that “no one really dies” in this iteration of the story.

“It was wonderful,” the actor said of resuming the role. “It was very interesting to go back after 17 years to play the same role, given that in the years to come, I now have two beards, a lattice, tail legs and a slightly dodgy back.”

To maintain an appearance of continuity, Molina explained that the production will use the same digital effects of aging that they laughed at in the years since actors Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr. in other Marvel movies. .

“I don’t have the same physicality as I did 17 years ago,” he continued. “That’s just a fact.”

Fortunately, the character’s metal robotic arms do most of the action, which Molina said gave her relief, as she remembered that, for the most part, she just had to keep a “mischievous look on my face.” .

Fans are now convinced that “Spider-Man: No Way Home” will be full of meta, multiverse fun after Molina clarified that she really plays the same version of the character I first met in “Spider-Man 2 . ” In addition to Doc Ock, Jamie Foxx’s Electro, who battled Andrew Garfield in “The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” should be back and probably preparing the stage for a great bad team that will keep Spidey busy.

“Spider-Man: No Way From Home,” starring Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Marisa Tomei, Tony Revolori and Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, is scheduled to hit theaters on December 17.
