THRis report that Molina will repeat his role as Dr. Otto Octavius aka Doctor Octopus from Raimi’sSpider - Man 2 in Marvel and Sony’sSpider - Man 3 . The news was ab initio reported byThe GWWlast month . The GWW’sreport further indicate Molina would be to the full outfit with Doc Ock ’s metal tentacles , and had begun take action mechanism view while on set last month . Neither Marvel nor Sony confirmed the report .

With the gain of Foxx ’s Electro and now Molina ’s Doc Ock , it does appear that Marvel and Sony are unite all three live - action Spider - Isle of Man franchise . Sony , of course , pave the fashion for this by introducing the multiverse in 2018’sSpider - Man : Into the Spider - Verse . That film ’s post - credits view confirmedVenomtook station elsewhere in its multiverse . SinceSony still retain the picture show rights toSpider - Man , with the studio apartment having made a wad with Disney / Marvel for Peter Parker to appear in the MCU , it makes sense that their   film series   could overlap and sets theirSpider - Versefranchise up for many exciting   pic in the future .

Still , withSpider - world 3now including not one , but two villains from pastSpider - Manfilm franchises , there ’s a vexation about overstuffing the story . Both Raimi’sSpider - Man 3andThe Amazing Spider - Man 2were criticized for including too many villains and thus stretch out the story too thin for a two - 60 minutes picture . Since Marvel Studios take over the creative guidance of live - action Spidey with his internalization in the MCU , they ’ve raise twovery well received Spider - Man film . So it ’s entirely possible that Marvel and Sony   can create an exciting and compelling multiverse movie inSpider - Man 3 . But whether they can really   surrender a moving picture that explains the multiverse ,   introduces MCU   Peter Parker to other world and tells a solid standalone story remains to be attend . More entropy about how Molina ’s Doctor Octopus fit intoSpider - Man 3- especially since the character give-up the ghost at the ending of Raimi’sSpider - Man 2- and whether his character get a redesign will be revealed in the month beforehand .
