Over the last few weeks Spider-Man 3 continued to be the center of attention of the numerous fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, mainly thanks to the presence of Benedict Cumberbatch in the role of Doctor Strange and the unexpected return of Jamie Foxx in the role of Electro, an actor-character combination previously seen in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 of 2014, directed by Marc Webb. According to the latest rumors, the film could see the return of another famous villain from the past, this time directly from Spider-Man 2, the 2004 film directed by the director Sam Raimi. We are talking about Doctor Otto Octavius, the enemy best known as Doctor Octopus, which could return to Spider-Man 3 played again by the actor Alfred Molina.
According to GWW, the British actor recently arrived on set to practice some acrobatic choreography, and in recent weeks he has filmed numerous scenes in which he plays again the role of the mad and brilliant scientist, 16 years away from Spider. -Man 2. For the moment the rumors have not yet been confirmed, and even from the rumors it is not yet possible to know if Alfred Molina will actually play the same Otto Octavius from Raimi's film or a completely new version of the iconic villain from the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
As had already happened previously with the announcement of the presence of Electro, fans are already letting their imagination fly, linking the return of the two famous villains to the figure of Doctor Strange to al multiverse, a concept that will be explored carefully in the next Marvel Cinematic Universe films, including just Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. We remind you Spider-Man 3 will be directed by Jon Watts, former director of Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home, and that the official release in cinemas is scheduled for December 17 2021. We just have to wait for more information on the title, as well as a hypothetical confirmation of the return of the famous villain within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
