New Story Details For SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Involving Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Electro, and More
Some new story details for Spider-Man: No Way Home have surfaced, and they offer information on the villains of the story. This includes the confirmed return of Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus and Jamie Foxx as Electro. It’s also being reported that Willem Dafoe will show up as Green Goblin. In fact, it’s said that he will actually be leading the villainous Sinister Six in the film.
A lot of fans have been wondering how these villains from different Spider-Man films will be incorporated into the story, and thanks to the Sneider Cut podcast, we have a possible answer. Sneider shared:
"I had heard that the No Way Home wasn't in reference to Spider-Man, but to the villains. That the villains are coming out of these different alternate dimensions, that they don't have a way home."
That’s definitely an interesting concept to play with. The Sinister Six will be made up of villains from alternate universes. According to the report, the other villains will include Thomas Hayden Church as Sandman from Spider-Man 3, Rhys Ifans as the Lizard from Amazing Spider-Man, and Paul Giamatti as Rhino from Amazing Spider-Man 2'.
As for the involvement of Willem Dafoe, after this rumor hit, another source backed up the claim saying:
In a previous interview with Variety, Molina revealed that his story in No Way Home, will pick up Doc Ock's story from "that moment" in the river that ended the Sam Raimi-directed Spider-Man 2.
in a separate recent interview with Variety, Sony Pictures Motion Group President Sanford Panitch teased that the film will reveal Sony’s plan to connect their films to the MCU. When asked about the possibility of Spider-Man interacting with the villains that have existed in the Sony universe of comic book films, including Venom, Carnage, Morbius, and the upcoming Kraven the Hunter film, Panitch said:
“There actually is a plan. I think now maybe it’s getting a little more clear for people where we’re headed and I think when No Way Home comes out, even more will be revealed.
“The great thing is we have this very excellent relationship with Kevin. There’s an incredible sandbox there to play with. We want those MCU movies to be absolutely huge, because that’s great for us and our Marvel characters, and I think that’s the same thing on their side. But we have a great relationship. There’s lots of opportunities, I think, that are going to happen.”
If this is all true, it will certainly be interesting to see these villains face off with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in the MCU. Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange will also be involved to help Spider-Man through this next crazy adventure.
Well, I can’t wait to see what’s in store for this film! We’ll eventually see what rumors are true and what ones are false. Marvel has also been teasing that a trailer is coming soon, so we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for that!
Spider-Man: No Way Home swings into theaters on December 17th.
