Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus Alfredo 'Alfred' Molina is a British-American actor who portrayed the role of Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man: No Way Home. He was digitally de-aged to his 2004 self.

“They were able to take those out of the archive and take nice photos for us and get good reference. Molina later confirmed that he would actually be reprising his role as the Spider-Man 2 incarnation of Doctor Octopus in No Way Home, retconning his character's apparent death at the end of the former film.
“They had built some practical Doc Ock arms back then that were puppeteered and we based our digital versions off those,” Port says.

For Doc Ock, not only did they recruit the same visual effects artist who animated him in “Spider-Man 2,” but they used modern software to completely re-create his complex and menacing mechanical tentacles. Those villains faced off against Tobey Maguire’s web-slinger back in 20, an even older era of computer-generated software. The $1-billion blockbuster also features the return of the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe) and Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina). “It was different software it was different computers it was different formats and a whole host of reasons why we couldn’t have used what was done prior.” “Even if we were to have access to archives of those old files, which I don’t think we really did, they just basically are gone, we would have to re-create it anyway, simply because of the technology,” Port says.
In fact, according to visual effects supervisor Kelly Port, pretty much everything had to be re-created. Villains such as the Lizard (voiced by Rhys Ifans) and Electro (Jamie Foxx) appeared on screen less than a decade ago, but there were no plug and play reference files to assist in their re-creation for 2021. That simply wasn’t the case for “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” For someone with even a rudimentary knowledge of visual effects, you would assume a film featuring somewhat recent CG-enhanced characters would be easier to bring to life than a project starting completely from scratch.
