A classic Spider-Man villain can be heard in a new international TV spot forSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. The new TV spot (viaJoBlo Animated Videos) features archival audio ofAlfred Molinaas Doctor Octopus. In the TV spot, Miles can be seen running in a room that has a 3D image of Doc Ock on a screen. In the image, the villain is wearing a green costume, similar to his design in the comic books and most animated adaptations. Another screen in the background shows the villain Electro, wearing a green and yellow costume similar to his classic comic book look. The Green Goblin in his green and purple comic book look can also be seen on another screen.
The spot features audio of Molina saying “Hello Peter,” a line from the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe filmSpider-Man: No Way Home. This isn’t the first time that theSpider-Versefilms have used audio from the live action films. 2018’sSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Versefeatured audio ofCliff Robertsonas Uncle Ben from the 2002Spider-Manfilm, which was used in the introduction ofChris Pine’s Spider-Man/Peter Parker. Molina’s version of Doc Ock was first introduced in 2004’sSpider-Man 2, where he went up againstTobey Maguire’s Spider-Man. Despite his death at the end of the film, Molina reprised his role inSpider-Man: No Way Home. In the film, Molina was brought into the MCU right before his death, and fought theTom Hollandversion of Spider-Man. Thanks to the multiverse, Maguire’s version of Spider-Man also appeared in the film, and had a reunion with Molina’s Doc Ock.
Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) has already faced a different version of the classic Spider-Man villain. In the first film, it was revealed that the Doc Ock in Miles' universe was Doctor Olivia Octavius, who wasvoiced byKathryn Hahn. This version of Doc Ock was working with the Kingpin/Wilson Fisk (Liev Schreiber) to help him find other versions of his deceased family members from throughout the multiverse.
