Spider man, the franchise, owes a lot to Alfred Molina. From the various villains that appeared in the 8th Spider man Molina’s Otto Octavius, made since 2002, is generally regarded as the best, requiring the mixture of sympathetic and sociopathic objects to really get under Peter Parker’s skin. The legacy is part of what was made the unconfirmed reports that Molina would resent his Spider-Man 2 roll for the coming Spider-Man: No Way Home so exciting. Unconfirmed by Sony or Marvel, anyway; Molina is very happy to confirm the shit out of this news.
This is per Variety, who spoke to Molina this week about his role in the Oscar-nominated Promising young woman, and then learned that he was a 100 percent game to also talk about sliding the tentacles for the third Tom Holland Spider man movie. “When we shot it, we were all ordered not to talk about it because it would be a big secret,” Molina said before noticing that the news was on the internet in early December. “I actually described myself as the worst kept secret in Hollywood!”
Molina was, as he usually is in interviews, funny and self-exhausting about the return performance and said: ‘It was very interesting to go back after 17 years to play the same role, given that in the intervening years I know two, a wattle, crow’s feet and a slightly deadly lower back. “He also talked about rediscovering the secret of the amazing Doc Ock play: ‘I remember then that it’s the tentacles that do all the work,'” he joked before noticing that his greatest physical contribution was a serious gloss was.
When it comes to plot stuff, Molina has mostly kept quiet – presumably so that the Marvel anti-spoiler snipers are watching him like a hawk, not getting the call to take the shot. But he confirmed that, from Otto’s point of view, he was emerging in the river. Spider-Man 2. (When asked about the timeline about it, says: director Jon Watts, apparently for Molina, apparently for Molina: ‘Did you see what we did? Bob Downey Jr. and Sam Jackson? ”) Meanwhile, when Molina asked about the whole dying thing, Watts told him, “In this universe, no one really dies.”
One topic that Molina did not pay attention to was the No Way Home rumors about cameos that still have the most intense question marks revolving around them, namely: Will Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield also appears in the film, which is expected to feature Tom Holland’s Spidey far and wide through The Multiverse Of Marketing? Not even Molina seems willing to defy the specific firewall of studio secret.
