10 Marvel Villains GUARANTEED To Join MCU

By the time Phase Three came to a close, Spider-Man had appeared in five MCU films, but despite having one of the biggest rogues' galleries in all of comic book history, he's only faced off against a small selection of bad guys. The MCU has yet to see Peter Parker's greatest enemy: Norman Osborn.

It's not as if he hasn't appeared in a live-action film before, having been the antagonist of Sami Raimi's Spider-Man from 2002. Still, he hasn't shown his face in the MCU, but that's likely to change as Phase Four kicks into high gear.

There is an untitled Spider-Man movie set to release in May of 2021, and while there has been next to nothing leaked on this project, there's a high degree of probability that Norman Osborn will finally make his appearance. The real question about Osborn is, will he show up as the man or the monster?

If the MCU plays the long game — as it tends to do — Norman Osborn may make an appearance, but he may not become the Green Goblin right away. That could go either way, but however the Green Goblin enters the MCU, it's not going to happen until Norman Osborn steps out of the shadows.
