About
Hello, Peter or Hola, Peter is a line of dialogue spoken by the villain Dr. Octopus at the end of the trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home, released in August 2021. The line and appearance of Doc Ock, played by Alfred Molina, inspired excitement online as it confirmed rumors about actors from Sony's Spider-Man films reprising their roles in the upcoming Disney movie. The scene inspired numerous memes following the trailer's release, including image macros, video edits and photoshops.
Origin
On August 23rd, 2021, the trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home was released, gaining over 14 million views in two days. The trailer came after months of rumors about cast members from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films reprising their roles in the new Disney Spider-Man film, crossing over both universes. The end of the trailer confirms this to a degree as Dr. Octopus, played by Alfred Molina as in 2004's Spider-Man 2 comes out of the smoke to confront Tom Hollands' Spider-Man, saying, "Hello, Peter" (shown below). The trailer also hints at the appearances of past villains The Lizard, Green Goblin, Sandman and Electro.
Spread
The scene inspired numerous memes across social media in multiple languages, many using a screenshot of Doc Ock's reveal subtitled "Hello, Peter."
On August 24th, 2021, 9GAG[1] user spacelord13 posted an image macro using the scene, gaining over 8,300 upvotes in a day (shown below, left). On the same day, Instagram[2] user @drgrayfang posted a meme using the Joe Rogan, Daniel Cormier and Jon Anik UFC #248 Reaction on the screenshot, gaining over 60,000 likes in the same span of time (shown below, right).
The trailer also inspired people to photoshop characters from other media properties as Molina's Doc Ock. For example, on 24th, Facebook[3][4] pages Star Wars Universe and Usada Pekoraposting posted photoshops adding the circular glasses and subtitle "hello Peter" to images of young Obi-Wan Kenobi and Usada Pekora, gaining over 1,100 shares and 3,300 reactions on the former and 4,800 reactions and 780 shares on the latter in a day (shown below, left and right respectively).
The clip inspired speculation over which Peter Parker Dr. Octopus could be talking about, as viewers assumed Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man interpretations will also appear in the film due to the presence of the villains. On August 24th, Instagram[5] user @the_engineer_bro posted a pointing Spider-Man meme referencing this, gaining over 18,000 likes in a day (shown below).

On August 24th, 2021, YouTube page Iluminatus posted an edit of the trailer in which they place a video of Hispanic YouTuber Dross' face over Doc Ock's, saying "Hola, Peter," gaining over 207,000 views in a day (shown below).
On the same day, Dross posted a selfie to Twitter[6] wearing circular sunglasses writing "Hola, Peter," gaining over 140,000 likes and 15,000 retweets in a day (shown below).

Hey 🅱️eter
Dross is not Spanish, he is from Venezuela.
We made it to the other side. This is the new reality
"Holy crap Lois, it's Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man 2!"
"Confirmed rumors"? Alfred Molina had been confirmed to be in the movie, along with Jamie Foxx, since months ago; it was verified on Wikipedia and everything. With that knowledge in mind, I don't see why this is considered such an exciting moment; it would have been if they didn't announce his presence in advance, or if he'd done something more unique in the trailer than literally just saying hello.
The Goblin bomb is what should really be getting the most attention, since we didn't know if he was going to be in it until the trailer.
It's been a while since I've been hyped by a movie since Endgame, to tell the truth, but I'd rather keep my hype in check, because somehow this reminds me of Evan Peter's reveal in WandaVision.
Not saying that it will happen again (At least Alfred Molina is still Dr. Octopus) but let's not start assuming stuff before we get more information.

If it don't have Dafoe, it gotsa go.
I had to do it, ok?
Oh my God, it's Alfred Molina!
DOCTOR OCTOGONAPUS
BLAAAAAAAAH!
I'm just waiting for someone to edit Obi-Wan's "hello there" in with video format. Maybe I'll do it myself if I ever feel up to it.
DOCTOR OCTOGONAPUS

Unlike his last Marvel appearance, this time Alfred Molina will not be Da only Foe.

>Hello Peter, betraying the white race are we? Time to pay the Coal Toll.
How the FUCK did they fit that one in, Raimi isn't even directing this time…
I may be remembering wrong but didn't the Doc Ock from Into the Spiderverse say variations of this too? I can't find clips to verify or not.
this is gonna suck
hello peter
You're Not Peter Parker!
DOCTOR OCTOGONAPUS
