The Green Goblin is finally unmasked in a new promo for the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The promo features a trailer and TV spot, the former of which includes a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in which the Green Goblin from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man tosses a pumpkin bomb at his new web-slinging nemesis. Though he's still wearing the armored suit, he is without his mask and instead, in a new hood.
This new look suggests that it is still Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin that attacks Spider-Man with what appears to be a new glider and weapons. There have been theories that Spider-Man: No Way Home will feature a second Green Goblin, whose identity remained a mystery. This stems from the appearance of a hooded Goblin in previously released trailers, whose costume differs significantly from the Goblin outfit from 2002's Spider-Man.
The majority of the promo clip, as with past trailers and TV spots for No Way Home, focused more heavily on Doc Ock, with Alfred Molina reprising the role from the 2004 Spider-Man 2. Marketing for the upcoming film has revealed that Spider-Man and Ock will team up, at least temporarily, after the scientist discovers that this Peter Parker is not the one from his universe.
But Green Goblin and Doc Ock are not the only supervillains from outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe who will make an appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Jamie Foxx will be reprising his Amazing Spider-Man 2 role, Electro, albeit with a completely new costume closely resembling his comic book counterpart. In addition, Lizard from Amazing Spider-Man and Sandman from Spider-Man 3 have also been confirmed, though it's uncertain if actors Rhys Ifans and Thomas Haden Church will be reprising their respective roles for the upcoming film, as the two have yet to make an appearance in any of the marketing material.
Tickets for Spider-Man: No Way Home were recently made available for purchase and demand for them has been exceptionally high. Pre-sale ticket sales came second only to Avengers: Endgame. This has led to tickets going up for sale on auction sites for thousands of dollars.
While many believe that the unification of three Spider-Man franchises means the return of actors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, both actors have been absent from marketing, with Garfield maintaining that, despite rumors and supposedly leaked photos and images, he is is not involved in the upcoming film.
Spider-Man: No Way Home arrives in theaters Dec. 17.
