Norman Osborn

Spider-Man, as already discussed, is now a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although Norman Osborn has already appeared in two Spider-Man solo movie franchises, the fact is that he has to go wherever Spider-Man does, as he’s an integral part of the hero’s lore, so don’t be surprised to see him in Phase Four of the MCU.

One of the best things about Osborn is that he presents himself differently on different occasions in the comic books – he isn’t always the Green Goblin, for instance – so an MCU version of the character could easily be very different from those played by Willem Dafoe and Chris Cooper in the past.

Osborn’s inclusion in the franchise could lead to epic stories like Siege and/or Dark Reign – and we could potentially see the Dark Avengers. How cool would that be??

Now let’s move on to the next entry, a time-traveling genius of a villain.
