Alfred Molina Wants to Return to "Spider-Man" Fran...

MTV News spoke to Alfred Molina, who said that he'd love to reprise his role as Doctor Octopus in the upcoming fourth "Spider-Man" film, if he can just get past the whole "dead character" thing.

"No one's mentioned it, and I think it's highly unlikely, seeing as he died," said Molina. "[But] at the 'Spider-Man 2' premiere in London, I turned around to one of the producers and said, 'It's a real shame that I died, because I would've loved to do another one of these.' And he said, 'Oh, characters don't die in this universe, they just disappear.'"

So while he's not counting on returning to the franchise anytime soon, he added: "The only thing I'd like to see is to concentrate on one villain. Having two or three of them sort of dilutes the potency of it. It would be nice to see a female villain."
