Spider-Man: No Way Home - Every Character Ranked Worst To Best
2. Norman Osborn
Because Norman Osborn is always going to Norman Osborn...
Willem Dafoe was on splendid form here as the returning Green Goblin, with the character positioned as the sort of threat rarely before seen in a superhero picture. Norman felt just as vile here as he has for decades in the pages of Marvel Comics, and his actions and intentions were truly sinister.
Vulture and Mysterio were great villains in the previous two Spider-Man movies, yet Osborn just felt like an entirely different level of evil. Added to that, the physical dominance shown over ol' Web-head during the pair's tussle in and around Happy Hogan's abode was spectacular.
Of course, Goblin also gleefully caused the death of Aunt May and tried to serve up the same fate to MJ.
As alluded to, Dafoe was phenomenal in this return to the role he played in Sam Raimi's trilogy. When sane Norman was at the wheel, Willem brought a warmth and sincerity to the role. When the Green Goblin took control, the four-time Oscar nominee was utterly chilling.
