No stranger to the comic book world with his role as Spideys nemesis Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man 2 (and voice roles in both the Wonder Woman animated movie and Justice League cartoon), actor Alfred Molina said hed love to reprise his role as the wall-crawlers tentacled enemy in future films if he can just get past the whole dead character thing.
No ones mentioned it, and I think its highly unlikely, seeing as he died, Molina told MTV News during a press event for his upcoming film The Sorcerers Apprentice when asked if there was any talk of him returning to terrorize Peter Parker. [But] at the Spider-Man 2′ premiere in London, I turned around to one of the producers and said, Its a real shame that I died, because I wouldve loved to do another one of these. And he said, Oh, characters dont die in this universe, they just disappear.
And as any comics fan will tell you, that statement has proven true time and time again in the pages of nearly every long-running series. So, while its certainly a remote possibility, the fact that Spider-Man 2″ is widely regarded as one of the best films in the franchise could mean a return appearance for Doc Ock isnt entirely out of the question.
So, in the absence of his return to the franchise, however, who else would Molina like to see take on our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man?
There were so many wonderful villains in Spider-Man stories, said Molina. Venom was a great character, and Im not biased, but I thought Doc Ock was a brilliant character in the comics, too.
The only thing Id like to see is to concentrate on one villain, he added. Having two or three of them sort of dilutes the potency of it.
Pondering the possibilities, Molina quickly back-tracked on his original suggestions, saying, it would be nice to see a female villain.
Yeah, that might be nice, he said.
