Alfred Molina is putting back on the metal arms and will reprise his role as the villainous Doctor Octopus, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

Molina turned in a fan-favorite performance in Sam Raimi's 2004 sequel Spider-Man 2 as Otto Octavius, a brilliant scientist who becomes an eight-limbed villain who pushed Toby Maguire's Spider-Man to the limits. Molina's involvement in the upcoming Spider-Man movie was first was rumored late last month, when GWW reported the actor had been spotted on set.

Molina's involvement ties together three generations of Spider-Man movies. Jamie Foxx is returning as Electro after playing the role in 2014's The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which starred Andrew Garfield as the wallcrawler, while Molina's Doc Oc terrorized Maguire's version of Spidey. In October, Foxx suggested in a since-deleted Instagram post that three different Spider-Men could appear in the film.

Because guess what? They're all coming back. Everyone.

Just like Jamie Foxx's Electro, Andrew Garfield will be back, and if Sony/Marvel can close a deal with Tobey Maguire, he'll be back too. Kirsten Dunst will return as MJ, and I expect Emma Stone to reprise her role as Gwen Stacy, pregnancy permitting. Why? Because this third Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland will delve into the multi-verse, just like its animated counterpart Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. I don't think that's a big secret at this point, so why do we pretend it is? Because we love the pageantry of it all.

He was a fantastic villain then and I don’t see why he wouldn’t be now.

I’ve always thought Vin Diesel would make a great Rhino, or whatever he was called

Hindsight has shown that it has a TON of cheese, but Spiderman 2 is one of the best comic book movies ever IMO. Not the best, but certainly one of.

Kinda pulls the air out of the reveal that Peter is Spider-man to the public.

It was implied but by no means confirmed. If that Spider-Man universe had continued, there were plans for him be apart of the Sinister Six

I've seen a supposed plot synopsis that doesn't sound accurate now but the name going around for this movie is Spiderman Homeworld.

Multiverse.

The way the Marvel Universe traditionally works, there is standard continuity (Earth 616) and every potential change becomes its own universe which branches off from there.

Potentially, they could also bring back Willem Dafoe as Green Goblin too if they felt like it.

I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark last night and never knew he was in the opening scenes.

He'd have made a great Nite Owl if they'd brought out Dan Dreiberg in the HBO series.

Spider-verse was the weirdest way to make the Clone Saga palatable to those who never experienced the horror in real time.

Ben Reilly, Kaine, and Miguel still having to sit on the sidelines.

Uncle Rapey Goblin Dafoe hitting on Emma Stone Gwen would be pretty memey I imagine.

Can’t wait for the Maguire and Garfield Spideys to see the current Aunt May.
