Willem Dafoe Teases Green Goblin MCU Return in Spider-Man 4: “I Could Come Back”
Wishing a swift journey, Spider-Man. Actor Willem Dafoe, who portrayed arch-enemy Norman Osborn, aka the Green Goblin, in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy and 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, hints at lingering conflicts with the web-slinger. Although Dafoe’s Green Goblin perished in a glider fight against Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) in 2002’s Spider-Man, Osborn reappeared as a hallucination in 2004’s Spider-Man 2 and 2007’s Spider-Man 3. He was then drawn from the multiverse into the Marvel Cinematic Universe to haunt yet another Spider-Man (Tom Holland).
