If the MCU ever needs a Doctor Octopus...


Rainn Wilson seems like the exact guy for the job. It seems like Marvel Studios is setting up the Sinister Six with the villains introduced in Homecoming and Mysterio debuting in Far From Home. Doc Ock is one of the key members so if they're setting it up I don't imagine they'd leave him out and I think Wilson would be perfect. He's definitely got the looks for it and despite what he's best known for, he can act serious really well. He has my vote.

They found one in Spider-Man 2, the Real Spider-Man 2, not the feckless imitations. Wilson has the gravitas of a Twinkie and the comic chops of a fortune cookie.

reply

By "the Real Spider-Man 2" you mean the only Spider-Man 2 right? Because we've only had one live action Doc Ock and one movie titled Spider-Man 2

THE IGNORANCE OF THAT STATEMENT IS ASTONISHING.

I don't think he wants to tarnish his legacy as Recyclops.

You're probably right. He fits in there with Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine as the perfect casting for Recyclops.
