The MCU did this in Spider-Man: No Way Home by resurrecting Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus and Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin, and it turned out fairly great! Bringing back the iconic villains in a movie is a pretty damn big attraction for a movie!
This pattern appears to have been noticed by Sony, as a fresh rumor has emerged online. Sources suggest some intriguing details about the Green Goblin and Venom in Madame Web.
A Second Chance
New rumor suggests that Venom And Green Goblin From Spider-Man 3 And The Amazing Spider-Man 2 respectively are set to appear in The Madame Web due to the multiversal shenanigans.

Venom was portrayed by Topher Grace. In the infamous Spider-Man 3, directed by Sam Raimi, which received both positive and negative reviews at the same time, Similar to how Dane DeHaan’s Green Goblin was the poorest character in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, whose character was poorly written and without any development or compelling cause, Grace’s Venom and Dane’s Goblin were essentially reduced to goofballs and have since become a joke.
But I suppose that things have changed, and they need to get the opportunity to reprise their respective parts and show the public that the writing—not them—was what really got them in trouble.
The theatrical failure of Morbius and the constant criticism it received from both critics and fans may have caused Sony to take a step backward. The upcoming Madame Web film, however, intends to rectify the situation for the SSU, and given that there are reports of the return of two familiar characters, it could have a shot.
Sony has done a commendable job of maintaining the secrecy surrounding the production and development of Madame Web. There hasn’t been much information released about the upcoming film, which will star Dakota Johnson as the title character.
Tahar Rahim is said to have played the film’s villain. Though leaked set photographs point to him in the role of Ezekiel Sims, a figure who, in the comics, possessed skills identical to Spider-Man.
