The Amazing Spider-Man: 9 Predictions For His Cinematic Universe

7. Norman Osborn Mutates Into Ultimate Green Goblin

There has yet to be any significant evidence to back up this distinct prediction, but it has been surmised upon several times during production of TASM2 that Norman Osborn will take the mantle of the Green Goblin later on, possibly the Ultimate version where he became a grotesque monster after being injected with a serum he created to help advance super-soldier production for S.H.I.E.L.D. Ultimately, the injection failed and he turned into the Ultimate version of the Green Goblin, a Hulk-sized monster capable of laying Spider-Man to waste with ease. While there has yet to be any mention of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Spider-Man's own universe (which is looking more and more unlikely), the origin of Norman's serum failure would have to be tweaked in order for the prediction to become reality. The serum, called OZ, was injected into test spiders at OsCorp which, in turn, bit Peter Parker and gave him the power to become Spider-Man. While that singular moment didn't exactly happen bit-for-bit in The Amazing Spider-Man, it could in some shape be a possibility for the next film coming in 2016. As we know, Norman's health is slowly deteriorating. This was mentioned a few times in the first film, and now Norman is set to make an appearance in the sequel, however long, on his sickbed while his son, Harry, takes over possible management of OsCorp (and mutates himself into the Green Goblin). Norman's ghastly health condition could be used as the harbinger for his motivations into becoming the next Green Goblin, depending on what happens with Harry in TASM2. Whatever formula Norman concocts at OsCorp could be the perfect catalyst; seeing how extreme both Dr. Curt Conners' and Maxwell Dillon's transformations have been in becoming the villains, a formula at OsCorp mixed with Norman's poor health conditions and his own DNA could lead to a viable and monstrous transformation into Ultimate Green Goblin. While a grain of salt should be applied to this matter, it's not too far outside the realm of possibility.
