The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Alfred Molina is reprising his role as Doctor Octopus for Tom Holland’s third cinematic solo outing as Spider-Man, which is currently filming in Atlanta, Georgia. Geeks WorldWide was the first site to report Molina’s Spider-Man 3 involvement.
Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus was the main antagonist of 2004’s Spider-Man 2, which featured the Tobey Maguire version of Peter Parker under the direction of Sam Raimi. Molina joins a star-studded cast that also includes Jamie Foxx reprising his role as Electro from Andrew Garfield’s The Amazing Spider-Man series.
The yet-to-be titled Spider-Man 3 was originally slated to hit theaters in July 2021 before being delayed due to the ongoing pandemic. It’s currently scheduled for December 17, 2021.
