Alfred Molina Returns To Play Doctor Octopus In Spider-Man 3
JAKARTA - The Doctor Octopus character will return in the latest Spider-Man film and is still played by Alfred Molina.
Launching Variety today, Wednesday, December 9, the Spider-Man 3 film, played by Tom Holland, performed a number of character crosses. Doctor Octopus made his first appearance after starring in Spider-Man 2 in 2004.
Previously, there was Benedict Cumberbatch who was confirmed to join as Doctor Strange and then the actor of Electro, Jamie Foxx also reportedly appeared in the third Spider-Man film. Electro is the villain who fought Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Jamie Foxx had uploaded a poster showing the three Spider-Man figures staring at the sky with Electro's face. But the post has since been deleted despite raising questions from Spider-Man fans.
Ever since Jamie Foxx deleted a fan made Spider-Verse poster including Electro emerging in the clouds It made me question on whether if he could be lying about Electro being a different version of the character in MCU SM3 from his other portrayal in TASM 2 or not pic .twitter.com / ULRV5g5RKA
