Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse co-director Rodney Rotham appears to be hinting at Doc Ock being the main villain in future stories.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a huge critical hit when it hit theaters with many choosing it as the best Spider-Man film to date. Into the Spider-Verse captured the life and rise of Miles Morales as Spider-Man incredibly well and now one of the film’s many villains appears to be more important than others. Into the Spider-Verse co-director Rodney Rotham recently spoke with Total Film and shared a few detailss regarding Doc Ock being the main story’s villain. Here’s what he had to say about that:
“In the end, we found the movie played fine without us tagging every single possible thing. But we definitely think of Liv as someone who is not gone from the story, and who in many ways, is our most powerful bad guy. She’s manipulating a lot of things to achieve her own grand ambitions.”
Doc Ock or Olivia Octavius was portrayed by Kathryn Hahn in Into the Spider-Verse as one of the story’s big villains, but it seems she may be more important than others. Doc Ock was portrayed as a bright scientist with great ambitions that perhaps are bigger than other villains’. Doc Ock fought against Spider-Man in the film after being discovered snooping through her research. It appears now that Miles Morales’ Spider-Man might be facing off against Doc Ock once again in future stories.
