The Easter Egg: Sam Raimi is known for the dark humour he injects into his movies, but this easter egg shows that he has a much lighter side too.

Apparently, Alfred Molina needed some acting lessons to be able to play Doctor Otto Octavius to the best of his ability, so Raimi brought in a fellow supervillain actor to help: Willem Dafoe (Green Goblin in Raimi's original trilogy).

Dafoe can be seen trussed up in the Doctor Octopus mechanical arms, reading some of Molina's lines from a piece of paper.

How To Find It: You'll need Spider-Man 2 on DVD first - the special edition. Insert Disc 2. Click on the 'Making The Amazing' section. Press up on your keypad/remote to be taken to the clip.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
