Rumor: Spider-Man 3 Could See The Return Of Alfred Molina As Doctor Octopus

Could we see Alfred Molina reprise the role of Doctor Octopus for Spider-Man 3? That's the rumor!

According to GWW, the British actor recently arrived on set to practice stunt choreography and has been filming scenes as Doc Ock for the past few weeks. They don't know if Molina will actually play the same Otto Octavius from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2, or a completely new take on the iconic Spidey villain.

How likely is this? Well, if this third Spider-Man movie is indeed set to introduce some Multiverse/Spider-Verse elements then it would make sense to bring back one of the Webhead's most popular big-screen foes, but this feels more like speculation than anything else.

Ever since it was announced that Jamie Foxx would be returning as Electro, various blogs and outlets (many of them disreputable) have been posting "scoops" about other characters from the previous movies - including both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's takes on Spider-Man - following suit.

There may be some truth to these reports, but until one of the trades weighs in, they'll remain right here in the Rumor Mill!
