While Marvel began adapting its properties effectively in the late 90s, it wasn’t until X-Men in 2000 that the Golden Age of Marvel movies began. The MCU is certainly referred to when discussing the greatest stretch of Marvel releases, but in the years prior to Iron Man, Marvel Entertainment released quality films that are still discussed today. The overall Marvel run, which includes multiple studios and cinematic universes, was mostly successful because of casting.While many fans love to dissect various studio decisions involving the casting of their favorite characters, it’s worth noting how great it can be when the studio absolutely nails it. Robert Downey Jr. certainly paved the way for MCU success which was sustained for a decade. The character of Peter Parker would be different if Tobey Maguire didn’t put on the tight red and blue spandex. Sometimes, comic book movie performances are perfect and exactly what fans need in order to fall in love with a live-action iteration of their favorite characters.Alfred Molina’s portrayal as Doctor Otto Octavius a.k.a. Doctor Octopus was not only riveting to witness but emotionally resonant as well. Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man films are great at exploring the origins of not only the hero but the villains as well. Doc Ock is iconic for being empathetic in comparison to other superhero villains on screen. A man corrupted by his own tech, Doc Ock was a good man who did bad things. His journey moved the audience and his sacrifice was one of the most powerful parts of Spider-Man 2. Alfred Molina was exceptional at bringing that journey to life on screen.
