Fan Cast: Michael Sheen as Doctor Octopus
Why: Michael Sheen is a veteran actor with years of experience playing complicated roles. He currently plays William Masters on Masters of Sex. Masters is very similar to comic book Otto Octavius in many ways. The two characters both had an abusive relationship with their respective fathers and also had dotting overbearing mothers that combined cause them dysfunction as grown men. If Otto became the evil "Doc Ock" in his classic comic book fashion, Sheen would have the role down cold. Using his time as Master's as a backdrop mixed with his villainous turns such as the vampire Aro in Twilight: New Moon give Michael the perfect combination of acting chops to play one of Spiderman's greatest foes. Check out Sheen in Masters of Sex back on Showtime in July.
Danny Devito would be a better selection.
