Spider-Man 3: Alfred Molina all set to return as Doctor Octopus

LOS ANGELES: Veteran actor Alfred Molina is all set to return for his role as the antagonist Doctor Octopus in “Spider-Man 3”, with Tom Holland in the title role.

According to reports, Molina has joined the cast as Otto Octavius, a path-breaking scientist-turned-limbed villain who challenged Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man in Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2”, which was released as the 2004 sequel to the director’s 2002 movie.

The actor, whose credits include films “Frida”, “The Da Vinci Code” and “Feud: Bette and Joan” series, was first rumoured to be part of the upcoming Marvel-Sony film late last month, when GWW reported the actor had been spotted on set. Apart from Molina, Jamie Foxx is also coming as Electro after playing the role in 2014’s “The Amazing Spider-Man 2”, which starred Andrew Garfield as the web-slinger. In October, Foxx hinted in a since-deleted Instagram post that three different Spider-Men could appear in the movie.

The cast also includes Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange and Jamie Foxx's Electro reprising their roles from previous installments.

The next Spider-Man movie is all set to release in December 2021.
