The return of most of them was not only a surprise to fans of Spider - Man but was also quite confusing , as some of them died in their original movies , and the confusion only grew when Doctor Strange secernate Holland ’s Peter that these scoundrel are specify to die fight down their respective adaptation of Spider - Man . The first of these to be defeated by a Spider - Man was the Green Goblin , who was down in Sam Raimi’sSpider - Man , which is why fans have wondered how he ’s come back inNo Way Home – and the answer might be in his unexampled costume , which supports the hypothesis of thisGreen Goblinnot being the one seen in Raimi ’s movie .
During a villains panel at CCXP , Willem Dafoe sharedthat the Green Goblin costume he wore inNo Way Homeis different from the one in Raimi ’s movie and it was upgraded , adding that Norman and the Goblin “ have a few more tricks up their sleeve ” – and in order of magnitude for Norman to have an upgraded suit , he would have to come from a dissimilar offset of the multiverse . Among the many devotee theories surroundingSpider - military personnel : No mode Homeis one that suggests thesevillains are variants of those seen in Raimi’sSpider - Mantrilogyand Marc Webb’sThe Amazing Spider - Manmovies . Lokiintroduced the concept of variant , so it would make sense that the MCU carries on with it inNo Way Home , which would also give more freedom to the writers as they do n’t have to worry about continuity with the previous movies , so they do n’t have to come up with convoluted and unconvincing explanation on why and how at peace villains are coming back .
With a just few more days to go before the release ofSpider - humankind : No Way Home , theory and rumors on the villains and the potential appearance of other character ( as are those of past variant of Spider - Man ) will sure advance more force , but so far , the safest bet about the villains is that they are not the same 1 seen in Raimi ’s trilogy and Webb ’s movies , and they just come from parallel side of the still mysterious multiverse .
