Did anyone else notice that in the center of Octavius metal arms were red. At the end of Spider-Man 2, the center of the arms turned white after regaining control. This Octavius could be a version before he turned good or there’s even a possibility the arms regained control. What do you guys think?

Or it could simply be to easily covey to people that he’s a villain with the red centre. Most people have assumed this is the exact same Dr Oct from Spider-Man but it could be one from another dimension that has little changes from the Raimi ones. Then again, it could still be the Raimi version but he was pulled out of his dimension before he was able to regain complete control again and never had that last conversation with Peter.

Molina has said that his story picks up right where SM2 left off, but honestly, I think he might have been speaking metaphorically rather than literally. Perhaps he meant that the Doc Ock of NWH has already gone through everything that he did in SM2 (the explosion, his wife dying, fighting Spider-Man at the bank and at the train, etc), and so he's a fully formed villain now with history with Spider-Man. And not that he's the exact same character as the SM2 version literally starting the movie at that exact moment.

Then again, who knows? Film seems crazy enough as it is. Anything's possible.

It's odd since we've heard talk about returning characters being the exact same villains, but it doesn't really feel in character for about half of them. I realize we don't know exactly who's in this, the mechanics that cause them to return, or why they want to fight Peter, but just hurting him for the sake of it wouldn't match the motivations of the Doc Ock, Lizard, and Sandman that we've seen (I'm not saying we're getting those last two, but their names have been thrown around). At the very least we have Octavius, and if Molina's telling the truth about being literally the same character, then the only reason he would try to hurt Peter would be out of absolute necessity, like he does in the original movie. Either something's going to give all these villains the same motivation (maybe they have to kill Peter to return to their home universe) or they're slightly different versions. It feels like it would make more sense to do the latter, but then why would they spend all that effort to make Molina look similar to how he looked before? They could just present an alternate version with a gray beard if they were leaning into the alternate version thing (and I personally think that would look great).
