Alfred Molina said that he was moved by Doc Ock's reunion with Tobey Maguire's web-slinger in "Spider-Man: No Way Home."

"I got a little emotional, actually," Molina said in a new interview for the podcast "Household Faces With John Ross Bowie."

"There was one scene where I suddenly meet Tobey, and he kinda goes 'How are you, doctor?' And I go, 'Oh my god, it's good to see you.' I got very teary in that scene," the actor continued. "I kinda went, 'Oh shit, this is a moment.'"

"It was delightful," Molina added. "And it was, of course, delightful to see Tobey again. We did have a giggle on set about… I think I said something like, 'I'm terrified that I might be a bit too old for this.'"

Molina first portrayed Dr. Otto Octavius/Doc Ock in the 2004 film "Spider-Man 2," the second film released as part of director Sam Raimi's trilogy starring Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

In the movie, Molina's character developed a fusion-based energy source that would provide safe, renewable energy and cheap electricity for civilians. As part of his experiment, he designed four actuators that resembled tentacles and were inserted into his spine to create a successful fusion.

After the demo went wrong and Otto's inhibitor chip got fried, the smart arms overtook the scientist and began controlling him. As he became fixated on rebuilding the containment field to harness a large amount of power, Maguire's Spider-Man stepped in to foil him.

Near the end of "Spider-Man 2," Peter took off his mask and revealed his identity to Otto, who was on the brink of death. After a pep talk from Peter, Otto sacrificed himself and drowned in the river with his machinery.

Despite his character's death, Molina returned for the 2021 film "No Way Home," which marked Tom Holland's third standalone film as the web-slinger.

After a spell cast by Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) went wrong, visitors from the multiverse who knew of Peter's superhero persona, like Molina's Doc Ock, entered Holland's world.

To explain Molina's return, it was revealed that he got swooped into Holland's universe just before his death in "Spider-Man 2."

Eventually, previous Spider-Man portrayers Maguire and Andrew Garfield also emerged. They teamed up with Holland's character to develop cures for the returning villains before sending them back to their worlds.

Unlike his role as the antagonist in "Spider-Man 2," Doc Ock used his knowledge to help Holland's character in his plan.

He finally reunited with Maguire's character during the film's big battle scene at the Statue of Liberty construction site. In their brief conversation, they expressed joy over seeing each other again.

In a callback to "Spider-Man 2," when Doc Ock asked Peter how he was doing, he replied: "Trying to do better."

"What makes this movie interesting and different from the previous one is that here we see the full redemption of Doc Ock, which makes me think that they may be putting him to bed," Molina said during his podcast interview.

Molina said that he was doubtful that the character would revert to his nefarious ways again, which is why he's skeptical of portraying Doc Ock again.

"I don't think that would happen," he said. "But it's been an extraordinary experience and one that I would never shortchange. It kinda made my career."

Doc Ock actor Alfred Molina has revealed which moment in Spider-Man: No Way Home had him tearing up.

Spider-Man: No Way Home broke new ground in superhero cinema, with villains and Spider-Men from all three cinematic Spider-Man franchises coming together in a multiversal epic. Alfred Molina had last been seen in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2, where he appeared as Otto Octavius opposite Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man. No Way Home saw him make his MCU debut, pulled across universes by Doctor Strange’s spell gone wrong. The film pitted Molina’s Doc Ock and other villains, including Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin and Jamie Foxx’s Electro, against the combined forces of Tom Holland’s, Andrew Garfield’s and Tobey Maguire’s iterations of Spider-Man.

In a recent interview on the podcast Household Faces, Alfred Molina talked about his return to the role of Doc Ock in the MCU and some of the scenes that resonated the most with him. Molina touched on both a moment between two of the film’s Spider-Men and a moment he got to share with Tobey Maguire, 17 years since they last appeared together as Otto Octavius and Peter Parker. Talking about the scene in which Andrew Garfield’s Peter helps Maguire’s crack his back, Molina said:

“Yeah it was brilliant… I’d love to know, I don’t know Tobey or Andrew well enough to kind of just phone them up and ask, but I’d love to know just how much of that was improvised… When I saw the movie, the audience just lapped it up, it was just perfect. It was a perfect little moment.”

Molina went on to talk about a scene he found made him “a little emotional,” admitting to getting “very teary.” The scene in question was his reunion with Tobey Maguire’s Peter in the midst of battle. While brief, the moment was a touching point of reconnection between the iconic pairing. Molina revealed:

“I got a little emotional, actually. There was one scene where I suddenly meet Tobey, and he kinda goes ‘How are you, Doctor?’ And I go, ‘Oh my god, it’s good to see you.’ I got very teary in that scene. I kinda went, ‘Oh shit, this is a moment.’ And it was delightful. And it was, of course, delightful to see Tobey again. We did have a giggle on set about… I think I said something like, ’I’m terrified that I might be a bit too old for this.’”

Alfred Molina probably wasn’t the only one tearing up, with the Spider-Man 2 reunion proving poignant to many fans of the original film.

Here is the official synopsis for Spider-Man: No Way Home:

For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero’s identity is revealed, bringing his Super Hero responsibilities into conflict with his normal life and putting those he cares about most at risk. When he enlists Doctor Strange’s help to restore his secret, the spell tears a hole in their world, releasing the most powerful villains who’ve ever fought a Spider-Man in any universe. Now, Peter will have to overcome his greatest challenge yet, which will not only forever alter his own future but the future of the Multiverse.

Directed by Jon Watts from a script written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, No Way Home stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jacob Batalon, Jon Favreau, Jamie Foxx, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Benedict Wong, Tony Revolori, Marisa Tomei, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire.

Spider-Man: No Way Home is now available on Digital HD, and will be available to own on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD on April 12. Be sure to continue following us for all the latest news in the Tom Holland franchise, and be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!
