With Novak's statement in December 2013 that his character is from the comics, and works at OsCorp and adding that he is in a few scenes and "not an extra." and with how B.J. looks in this movie, i can see how Novak could be Otto Octavius. The new Doctor Octopus being non-reminding of the Doc Ock portrayed by Alfred Molina is a need for making separate versions.
