Now , artistJackson Casperszhas provided his own take on the character reference , sharing a novel piece of fan artistic production on Instagram that imagines Spanish actor Bardem as Doc Ock . The depiction shows Bardem in a high - tech setup in which Doc Ock ’s familiar tentacles swarm out in every direction , his sassing twisted into a appropriately maniacal smiling .
