Marvel first began introducing the concept of a Multiverse, alternate realities where basically anything can happen, way back with Doctor Strange. But it’s now during Phase 4 when we’re seeing it really take root in WandaVision, Loki, and What If…?, while Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness literally has it in the damn title. However, it’s Spider-Man: No Way Home that could break the thing wide open if it means the universes of the MCU and Sony’s Spider-verse collide.
With the confirmed returns of Jamie Foxx as Electro and Alfred Molina as Doc Ock, JK Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson, along with rumors of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield coming back as Spider-Man, Willem Dafoe has also been mentioned as possibly suiting up as Green Goblin once more. But is it true? Well, the actor ain’t denying it…but he ain’t admitting it, either…
“No comment…I got lots of stuff happening now. And, you know, I always feel like when a film comes out, that’s when it’s time to talk about it.”
Fair enough. I think a younger actor might have tried being too cute and accidentally revealed something (lookin’ at you Tom Holland!), but Dafoe is old school and won’t give away a damn thing. He wants you to pay for the movie to find out if he’s in it.
And we’ll find out when Spider-Man: No Way Home opens on December 17th.
