Spider-Man: No Way Home is currently slated to release on December 17, 2021. The movie will release just before the twentieth anniversary of Sam Raimi’s original Spider-Man movie, and it sounds like there won’t be a better way to celebrate than to bring together an absolutely massive spectacle the likes of which has never been seen in a Spider-Man movie before. 2, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Captain Marvel, and Avengers: Endgame, and they’ve produced some of the best results out of the companies that have attempted the practice.Īt this point, it can’t be denied that Spider-Man: No Way Home is going to be a Multiverse movie, and with it comes the casts of the seven preceding live-action Spider-Man movies. And not just that, but he’ll be digitally de-aged to look just like he did in 2004 digital aging and de-aging is a method that Marvel has employed across Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Ant-Man, Captain America: Civil War, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. While the actor, initially contacted about the role, expressed reservations due to his character’s death, Watts explained that nobody really dies for real in the Marvel Multiverse, and gave him an outline of how he’d return, starting with “that moment” on the Hudson River. But somehow, that’s not the end of his story. Molina explained to Variety that his part in the movie begins where he last left off: at the bottom of a river, unconscious and likely drowning. It was very interesting going back after 17 years to play the same role, given that in the intervening years, I now have two chins, a wattle, crow’s feet and a slightly a slightly dodgy lower back… just looked at me, and said, ‘Did you see what did to Bob Downey Jr. (Instead of the usual take as the editor-in-chief of a respected newspaper, he played a crank conspiracy theorist hosting an online talk show.) Molina specifically mentioned following up his take on Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2 in the new interview: Jonah Jameson in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Simmons did with his surprise cameo as J. Well, today, while talking to Variety, it sounds like Molina has outright confirmed that he’s going to be revisiting the iteration of the character that he played in 2004, rather than a new take on the character akin to what J. It’s been known for a while that Doc Ock would be appearing in the movie, with Molina reprising his role, but nothing specifically said that it was going to be his version of the character from 17 years ago. He cries out “I will not die a monster!” before sending his destructive creation, and himself, into the bottom of the Hudson River. He sets out to recreate his experiment on a larger scale, but when Spider-Man reveals his secret identity, he is convinced to destroy his machine before it can obliterate New York City. Of course, things go completely wrong when an accident involving his four mechanical appendages results in the destruction of his project, the death of his lover, and the tentacles being permanently bonded to his body. Spider-Man 2 had a more sympathetic take on Doctor Otto Octavius than the standard arrogant mad scientist, as in that continuity, Otto a scientist with a dream of a world with limitless energy, a wife, and a bond with his student Peter Parker. That’s when Lithgow chimed in to explain that he just wrapped his run as King Lear at The Public Theater and today, Molina was offered the same role, but in another production.Just in case there was still any lingering doubt about Spider-Man: No Way Home being a Multiverse story, Doctor Octopus actor Alfred Molina has basically confirmed that the movie will tie in with 2004’s critically-acclaimed, fan-favorite Spider-Man 2. “The thing is, no actor owns those roles.” Sure, anything is possible, but it doesn’t look like we’ll ever get any cast overlap. I mean, I’d go back and do it again in a heartbeat.”īut of course, what are the odds of that happening? We’ve got a new Spider-Man, Harry Osborn and Gwen Stacy, just to name a few. But it was the first movie of that kind that I’ve ever been involved in. “That was the most fun I think I’ve ever had on a movie of that kind, you know, those big, big sort of features where you spend like six months hanging off a wire, you know, and that stuff. After recalling how great Molina is in the role, he noted: It doesn’t hit stores until tomorrow, but we did get a sneak peek at the piece and it includes shots of Molina’s Doc Ock from Spider-Man 2. In an effort to pave the way for that one, Sony included a Sinister Six bonus featurette on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Blu-ray. About a month ago, news broke that The Amazing Spider-Man 3 was pushed back to and that we’d actually get that Sinister Six film first on November 11, 2016.
