See Ned in Hobgoblin Action in Unused Concept Art For SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME
Some more concept art has surfaced that was created for Spider-Man: No Way Home, and it features Jacob Batalon as Ned channeling his inner Hobgoblin. The art was created by Marvel Studios artist Phil Saunders and he shared the following insight on the art:
“Another unused #spidermannowayhome idea that I'm thrilled made it into the "Art of" book. This was an early idea proposed where Ned gets a shot at riding the Goblin Glider during the final battle, a nice bit of fan service given Ned's ultimate turn in the comic book universe. As serendipity would have it, Queens' own Mets wear orange and blue, the colors of #hobgoblin, so I have Ned wearing the hoodie as another little nod. But just to show you how far we take research and character-building at #marvel #visdev, Ned's wearing the number 50, an homage to Benny Agbayani, the Hawaiian-Filipino Mets left-fielder who would undoubtedly be one of Ned's heroes, given their shared heritage.
“I painted the image in #Photoshop, and modeled and rendered the Glider in #Modo based my colleague @joshnizzi.art’s masterful update on the original. The classic Pumpkin Bomb in his hand was designed by my good friend.”
Check out the art below and let us know if you’re looking forward to seeing Ned eventually turn bad in the next Spider-Man movie! We all know it’s going to happen!
