Goblin is one of five bad guys returning to the Spider-Verse in a movie overstuffed with them, but by the end, the only showdown that matters is between Tom Holland’s Spider-Man (Peter 1?) and Green Goblin. It’s only fitting that the villain who helped usher in a new era of big-budget superhero blockbusters almost 20 years ago in 2002’s Spider-Man is back for the grand finale of a new trilogy of Spidey films. The return of Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin is one of the driving forces behind the success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which despite the pandemic earned $601 million worldwide in its opening weekend-giving it the third-biggest global debut and second-biggest domestic debut ever.
Sometimes, though, the villain is so good that-even after death-they keep being brought back for more. We’ve all seen enough superhero movies to know this by now-a story can go only so far when its antagonist lacks a discernible reason for existing in the first place. Every superhero needs a good supervillain.
