Alfred Molina is returning to the Spider-Man universe, a full 16 years after last starring as Doctor Otto Octavius in 2004's Spider-Man 2. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 67-year-old English-American actor will spar with Tom Holland's Spidey, who's a full two generations removed from the web-crawler played by Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man 2. Molina's involvement seems to confirm the notion of a Spidey multiverse, a theory that kicked into high gear when it was announced that Jamie Foxx will be reprising his role as Electro in the film.
