A new poster for Spider-Man: No Way Home has given us our first look at the return of Green Goblin from the upcoming film set to arrive exclusively in theaters on December 17, 2021.
While the poster, which was posted to Twitter by the official Spider-Man: New Way Home account, shares another look Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus and appears to tease the return of both Jamie Foxx's Electro with a lightning strike and possibly Sandman with a rising storm of dust, it's the small glimpse of Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin over Spider-Man's left shoulder that catches our eye the most.
Dafoe's Green Goblin can be heard in the first official trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home, and this poster brings us one step closer to seeing these villains from the other Spider-Man films showing up in the MCU thanks to the Multiverse being unleashed.
While we've been getting a bunch of hints that we'll be seeing many familiar villains in the upcoming film, fans are also eagerly waiting to see if both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will make their way through the multiverse to our MCU. Garfield has denied that he's in the movie, but we've all been fooled by actors before.
Alongside these exciting teases, it's also possible we may see The Lizard show up alongside Tom Hardy's Venom, the latter of whom was caught wearing a Spider-Man: No Way Home hat. While there are a ton of other reasons why he would be wearing that hat, Sony has said that there is "actually a plan" to connect Sony's Spider-Man Universe to the MCU.
As previously mentioned, Spider-Man: No Way Home will be released exclusively in theaters on December 17, 2021, and will be the next MCU film following Eternals, which was released this past weekend and earned $71 million at the domestic box office.
