The Green Goblin is Spider-Man's archenemy - all fans know it. The thing is in the aftermath of the Marvel-Sony deal, it's not just the cinematic destiny of Spider-Man himself that is bound to change"¦

In fact, all established characters of the Spider-Man lore could be slotted in Marvel movies. Sony also has the opportunity to borrow Marvel owned characters and work them out in their own movies.

Now, back to the Green Goblin"¦

Why would they slot in the Green Goblin?

For starters, Civil War's plot will be crafted such as to accommodate Spider-Man's appearance. It is known: Captain America 3 is Spidey's debut after his return to Marvel.

Is it so far-fetched to assume working Spider-Man in could come in tail with this fierce antagonist? Bringing the Green Goblin makes so much sense.

Secondly, it's not just the fact the Green Goblin is Spider-Man's nemesis. Norman Osborn has plenty of experience with covert government affairs.

In the comic books, Norman Osborn used to lead the Thunderbolts, a team put together in an effort to regulate superhuman activity.

And before becoming the Green Goblin, Osborn also ran a team of deceitful Avengers. So, he's no stranger to how such things work.

Which means the Green Goblin could also make for the lead antagonist in Captain America: Civil War. Though that means he would steal Baron Zemo's thunder.

Now, what do you think of that? Is this a realistic theory? Could they actually slot the Green Goblin in, mostly considering the comic book mythology favors such a development?

And if they do, which of the actors would you like to see reprising their role as Norman Osborn? Willem Dafoe did deliver a convincing Spidey enemy, but I wouldn't rule out Chris Cooper either.

Well, in case they do decide to bring the Green Goblin to Civil War and not recast the role again. Have your say below!
