**Los Angeles, CA –** Willem Dafoe, the actor who brought the chilling Green Goblin to life in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy and more recently in *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, is reportedly in talks to reprise the role. While details remain scarce, sources suggest Dafoe’s return could be for *Spider-Man 4*, upcoming *Avengers* films, or even a post-*Secret Wars* MCU project.
Dafoe’s first portrayal of Norman Osborn, which culminated in a comic-accurate demise, was followed by appearances as a spectral presence in subsequent Spider-Man films. His shocking return in *No Way Home* saw him wreak havoc on the multiverse, culminating in the death of Aunt May and a near-fatal confrontation with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. The actor has previously expressed openness to reprising the role, stating that it was a “great role” and a “great fun” experience.
This news follows a recent report by scooper @MyTimeToShineH, and while Marvel Studios remains tight-lipped, the possibility of Dafoe’s Green Goblin returning alongside other returning villains from *No Way Home* has fans buzzing with excitement. The potential for a multiversal showdown with multiple Spider-Men is fueling intense speculation about the future of the MCU’s Spider-Man franchise.
