Spider-Man: Brand New Day
The MCU ’s highly - anticipatedSpider - human race 4has already set up its perfect Green Goblin story thanks to the events of the groundbreaking Multiverse flick , Spider - Man : No Way Home . Though Sony and Marvel Studios have been tight - lipped regarding the as - yet - untitledSpider - Mansequel , the moving-picture show is confirmed to kick off a newfangled trilogy following the effort of Peter Parker ’s internet - sling alter - ego , as well as define his future tense standing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe . Despite tease of introducing Venom as the next film ’s main villain , No Way Homeproves that there are few antagonists who can measure up to the scourge that come with Norman Osborn ’s Green Goblin .
Willem Dafoe’sGreen Goblin was Spider - Man ’s first villainin live - action at law cinema , appear in Sam Raimi ’s classic 2002Spider - Manfilm . Almost two decades by and by , Dafoe returned to the role inNo Way Homewhen his persona was transferred from the Raimiverse to Earth-616 . There , he created topsy-turvyness in Peter Parker ’s aliveness , kill Aunt May and sparking case that led to the entire world having its memory board of Parker wipe off forever . It became clear that Earth-616 ’s Peter hated Norman Osborn more than any other scoundrel he had ever face , nearly even killing him with his own sailplane . This hatred proves that the MCU ’s Spider - Man needs his own version of the Green Goblin .
Norman Osborn Can Exist In The MCU’s Future (Despite No Way Home)
TheMCU can still have its own Norman Osborndespite the events ofNo Way Home . After appear on Earth-616 , Dafoe ’s Osborn discovered that his company , Oscorp did n’t exist in this reality and was patently ineffectual to locate a variance of himself or of his son . However , the mere want of Oscorp as a fellowship in the MCU does not proscribe the dealership to innovate its own version of Norman Osborn in future film . Norman never confirm that he did n’t exist on Earth-616 , but only that he could not find Oscorp . In realism , Norman Osborn may already be alive and active in the MCU .
Although Willem Dafoe ’s Norman Osborn is beloved , theMCU ’s Spider - Man needs his own Green Goblin , this time wear out a completely unlike face . Osborn ’s comic Scripture counterpart is involve with plenty of covert operations besides his own personal business , making it viable that his MCU variant could already be combat-ready without making a major picture on a public level , explaining why Norman was unable to locate himself inNo Way Home . In fact , the Earth-616 variant of Norman Osborn could still have a major role to play in the hereafter of the MCU ’s Spider - Man , especially as his next trilogy inches closer and closer to becoming a realism .
How Spider-Man’s Previous Experience With The Green Goblin Would Affect His New Trilogy
In the climactic third act ofNo Way Home , the Green Goblin takes over Norman Osborn ’s mindonce more , murdering Aunt May right in front of Peter and leading the superhero to closely drink down him during the net battle . Peter ’s previous experience with a Green Goblin version could make for an intriguing dynamic with Norman ’s Earth-616 counterpart . Already aware of his supervillain tendencies , Peter would doubtlessly mistrust Norman upon their first meeting , treat him like the Goblin long before he ever donned the iconic mask and glider . Peter would therefore be faced with the uncomfortable moral implications of oppose a supervillain before he is even created .
It is in this moral discrepancy that it becomes clear just howperfect Green Goblin would be as Spider - Man ’s nemesisin the MCU . In his rearing veneration of what Norman Osborn could become , Peter Parker could unknowingly create his own defective enemy , set off the upshot that contribute to the birth of the Green Goblin as a issue of his hatred for Dafoe ’s version of the character . As a result , all the lives that the Goblin takes and the chaos that ensues would all be indirectly Peter ’s fracture , tally a chilling element to his impression of power and responsibility , all while underliningSpider - Man 4with a layer of dark irony .
