Marvel fans will know Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn aka The Green Goblin from 2002’s Spider-Man.
While both James Franco and Dane DeHaan have played his son, it’s Norman who is the true arch-nemesis of Spider-Man.
Now connecting the dots it appears that Marvel Studios are working with Sony – who own the rights to Spider-Man – to include him in the MCU going forwards.
The latest alleged leak comes from Hollywood insider Daniel R, who writes: “Marvel wants Norman Osborn, they have big plans for him in the MCU beyond Spider-Man which is another reason why they’ll try their best to extend their contract with Sony.”
Meanwhile, That Hashtag Show tweeted: “Norman was in the Silver and Black script. I saw that with my own 2 peepers.
“I was told part of the delay with S&B was about getting him out of that script and into the MCU. We’ll see if that’s accurate before too long.”
Like Venom, Silver and Black is another of Sony’s planned Marvel films focused on Silver Sable and Black Cat.
Additionally, previous alleged leaks claim that Spider-Man Far From Home is setting up a Sinister Six movie.
And lastly, fans have been speculating over just who bought the Avengers building.
While some are hopeful for the Fantastic Four following Disney’s acquisition of Fox’s rights, this event happened in Spider-Man Homecoming.
So perhaps Norman Osborn’s Oscorp will be moving in going forwards.
Maybe the Green Goblin is going to be the new Thanos post-Avengers 4?
