10 Actors Who Could Play Green Goblin In The MCU

2. Antonio Banderas

Green Goblin
Warners EspaƱa

The first thing about Banderas in this part is that he'd catch you off guard. This well-respected performer is known for his heroic turns, and seeing him take on villainous roles is often a little jarring. But, that's not to say that he's not good at it, as some of his best performances have strayed to the dark side, with one of the most notable being his main antagonist turn in The Skin I Live In.

There is sheer confidence in Banderas that is magnetic, as his charm and control easily lure you in. This is something that he'd fully take advantage of as Norman Osborn, and it wouldn't take long for the audience to feel immersed by his suave turn as the company's figurehead. However, he'd still be able to command fear thanks to his edgier side.

Banderas can bring darkness to the front of his performance, as his sinister stares and intense presence can easily be intimidating. Casting him would give Norman/Green Goblin a balanced sense of charm and power that would make him stand out in the Spider-Man rogues gallery.
