Brazil had quite the Comic Con Experience this past weekend, and for those who are looking forward to the big Spider-Man film this year that is Spider-Man: No Way Home - Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures presented a special panel that featured three veteran actors reprising their villainous roles!
That's right, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, and Jamie Foxx all sat down to talk about their returns as Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Electro, and it was a pretty solid nine minute panel after an introduction by MCU Spidey actor Tom Holland himself that should get the fans excited for what's to come with the final installment of the Homecoming trilogy!
SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME - Villains Panel
Spdier-Man: No Way Home will be released in cinemas in the US this month and elsewhere soon!
Preparing fans for the return of some fan favorite villains from Spidey movies of the past, Marvel Studios, Sony Pictures, and Columbia Pictures have released three new character posters for Spider-Man: No Way Home - which feature Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Electro as played by Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, and Jamie Foxx respectively - reprising their roles from Spider-Man 1, Spider-Man 2, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as they jump via the Marvel Multiverse into the MCU and the world of Tom Holland's Spider-Man!
Spider-Man: No Way Home will be coming to theaters in the US on mid-December and soon in other territories and countries.
Fans of a certain friendly neighborhood wallcrawling superhero will always hold July in high regard, as 16 years ago around this time - Sony Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Marvel, and director Sam Raimi released "Spider-Man 2" into theaters. As the highly anticipated follow-up to the 2002 "Spider-Man" film - the sequel featured the return of Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/ Spider-Man, as well as Kirsten Dunst and James Franco as love interest Mary Jane Watson and best friend turned bitter Spidey hater Harry Osborn respectively. Opposing the webhead as the main antagonist of the film is Alfred Molina's Otto Octavius, who through a freak science experiment gone wrong bond four mechanical arms into his body and turns him into the dreaded Doctor Octopus, or "Doc Ock" for short.
Spider-Man 2 Trailer
Widely regarded as one of the Best Superhero Movies ever made if not the BEST Spider-Man Movie still to this day, Spider-Man 2 was the perfect sequel and follow-up that featured everything that a wallcrawler fan could ask for - action, romance, Parker Luck problems, and a stellar cast and crew making the film such a rich experience to enjoy. Even after 16 years, it's still very much watchable, and acts as the centerpiece to Raimi's "Spider-Man Trilogy" and an inspiration to what future Spidey films have taken after.
Looks like a familiar Spider-Man villain is making his long awaited return from the dead, as Alex Ross revealed via his Facebook page his amazing cover to Marvel's "Amazing Spider-Man #20" - which shows Doctor Octopus back in his own body and tearing the mask of the webslinger apart!
While no details on exactly how Doc Ock comes back has been revealed, those who follow current ASM series written by Dan Slott know that after seemingly sacrificing his brain to restore Peter Parker back to his own body during the events of "Superior Spider-Man", Ock was able to make a back up of his mind in the robotic body of the "Living Brain". With the major Spidey event "Dead No More" fast approaching, it's a no brainer that Otto Octavius will return as a result of the events of that storyline.
This week, Marvel releases The Superior Spider-Man #25, bringing an end to the "Darkest Hours" storyline , Superior Venom, and planting the "seeds" for the inevitable return of Peter Parker as your Friendly Neighborhood Webslinging hero, which was confirmed by Marvel (via Newsarama) with the official announcement that The Superior Spider-Man #31 (cover seen above) would be the FINAL ISSUE in the series featuring Doctor Octopus in Peter Parker's body, which would then see Dan Slott and Humberto Ramosrelaunching "The Amazing Spider-Man #1" on April.
However, the BIG question remains... How will Peter come back? Well, the SPOILERS have hit all around the interwebz, and Bleeding Cool has featured a post on it which has the revealing pic after the jump...
In a move the clearly shows that very two different worlds will collide when all is said and done, Marvel unleashes a very first look at the interior pages and artwork to be featured in the next Superior Spider-Man story arc beginning in "Superior Spider-Man #17", where in Spider-Man/ Doc Ock will face none other than the webslinger of the future himself, Spider-Man 2099!
How will Miguel O' Hara's presence affect the present world where Otto Octavius' mind inhabits the body of Peter Parker? Newsarama has the sneak peek/ first look images to take a glimpse at, so view the source post for a bit of a tease until next month!
Superior Spider-Man #17 goes on sale on September 4.
As SDCC' 13 kicks onward, so does the big news on a certain "Superior" wall-crawler!
Things may be looking up for the Superior Spider-Man currently, but come the next few months, it's going to be a dark road ahead for Doc Ock's new life as he comes face to face with another individual leading a new legacy as well... Flash Thompson, aka Venom!
Announced in the San Diego Comic Con via Marvel's own Superior Spider-Man panel, writer Dan Slott is putting these two unlikely heroes in the same place and the same time come November in Superior Spider-Man #22, as a new four-part story arc called "Darkest Hours" will see the new "Spidey" clash with the new "Venom". One can only wonder how this will turn out... And if things will ever be the same for the life Spider-Man.
