Another familiar name that has been tied toSpider - Man : Homecoming 3is Willem Dafoe , who played Norman Osborn , aka Green Goblin , in the Raimi trilogy . The rumour about him returning have yet to be confirmed , butThe GWWreports Dafoe is in the film . The way out - which was the first place to report Alfred Molina ’s homecoming as Doc Ock - states that Dafoe has officially commence filming scenes for the movie . The Illuminerdiinitially reportedDafoe ’s return forSpider - world 3 .   So far , there have been no set pic to affirm this .

As is the case with all ofSpider - Man : Homecoming 3 ’s past character returns , it will be fascinating to see how Willem Dafoe is involved . Norman Osborn pass at the very end of Raimi’sSpider - Man , but Dafoe came back in the sequels by ghost Harry Osborn ( James Franco ) . Since the MCU’sSpider - Man 3is already bring back several dead scoundrel , the power of the multiverse could explain Dafoe ’s return too . But , there is also the chance that Marvel Studios will expend Dafoe similarly to J.K. Simmons . Fans love Dafoe ’s Norman Osborn , so Marvel could preface him as the main universe ’s Norman .

Dafoe ’s office inSpider - Man : Homecoming 3could bet on   what road Marvel Studios and Sony take with his return . If this is meant to set up Dafoe’sNorman Osborn as part of the MCU ’s future , it would make sentience for him to have a more substantial role in the plot . But , if Dafoe ’s Norman Osborn is only back for a multiverse cameo , then his clock time on set could be agile . In either case , the hypothesis of located picture leak fromSpider - Man : Homecoming 3could potentially avail bring some clarity to the berth . If they do n’t come , fans might have to hold back until a trailer drops to get more information .
