The third Spider - human race motion picture jell in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is go down to break the Multiverse when Peter Parker ( Tom Holland ) look for the help ofDoctor Strange ( Benedict Cumberbatch)to magically solve the problem of his secret identicalness becoming publicly known . foreign and Spider - Man end up opening a gateway to characters from the premature Spider - Man movies channelise by Sam Raimi and Marc Webb .
Spider - Man 2is arguably the best of Sam Raimi ’s trilogy and it ’s still regarded as one of the finest superhero movie ever made . InSpider - Man 2 , Peter Parker ( Tobey Maguire ) faces genius scientist Dr. Otto Octavius , who becomes corrupt by the mechanical tentacles he manufacture and becomes the villainous Doctor Octopus . Spider - Man 2ramped up the superhero action and the personal drama between Peter , Mary Jane Watson ( Kirsten Dunst ) , and Harry Osborn ( James Franco ) while Molina created a Big Bad in Doc Ock who is both menacing and sympathetic .

An old clip that showed Willem Dafoe and Sam Raimi pranking Alfred Molina duringSpider - Man 2 ’s production was share byJarett Wieselman on Twitter . In the hilarious video , Raimi coaches Molina about " best acting " and he indicate his thespian " what [ the studio ] want , " which ferment out to be Willem Dafoe bust Doc Ock ’s alloy arms and reciting his talks from the scene where Dr. Octavius demo his technology to the press . Molina is beside himself laughing at Dafoe stepping in for him , and the prank goes over like gangbusters . But Dafoe and Molina could n’t have experience that both of their classic supervillains would render in another Spider - Man picture almost 20 days by and by .
Willem Dafoe ’s comeback as the Green Goblin ( which is still unconfirmed by Marvel and Sony ) andAlfred Molina ’s retort as Doctor Octopusare two of the biggest marketing point ofSpider - human race : No Way Home . Jon Watts’Spider - Manmovies set in the MCU purposely avoided repeating villains used in Sam Raimi’sSpider - Mantrilogy and Marc Webb’sThe Amazing Spider - Manmovies , which makes Tom Holland ’s Spidey get together Tobey Maguire ’s most iconic opposer a can’t - miss event . Since Osborn and Octavius have n’t shown up in the MCU , it ’s also possible that both scoundrel could cross over and become the MCU ’s Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus as well .
Indeed , Willem Dafoe ’s Green Goblin is truly regarded as one of the most iconic villains in superhero movies , and Alfred Molina ’s Doctor Octopus shares the same in high spirits regard . Both actors were perfectly cast and they ’re both so sound and memorable that it ’s understandable why the MCU has n’t even undertake its own versions of Green Goblin and Doc Ock . ( The same can be said forJ.K. Simmons ' J. Jonah Jameson , who bring together the MCU inSpider - Man : Far From home base . ) It ’s a testament to how well Sam Raimi project his villains and how dear hisSpider - Manmovies still are thatSpider - Man : No elbow room Homeis importing both the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus into the MCU .
While it ’s not clear if Willem Dafoe ’s Goblin and Alfred Molina ’s Doc Ock will get to divvy up the blind inSpider - Man : No Way Home , it ’s funny how prescient Dafoe dropping bySpider - Man 2 ’s countersink to don Doctor Octopus ' arms and prank Molina move around out to be .
