Colman Domingo stated that viewers of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man can expect Norman Osborn to don the mantle of Green Goblin in the series’ upcoming seasons. He also divulged that he has had meetings with Marvel executives about a potential live-action appearance in the MCU.
During his recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused Podcast, the Sing Sing star discussed his Marvel role with host Josh Horowitz in depth. While talking about his desire to portray Norman Osborn in live-action, Colman Domingo noted, “It’s cool, but I do want to get the live-action out, too. Wouldn’t that be kind of cool? I would love to tear that up on the big screen.”
He then confirmed that fans will get to see his character transform into the Green Goblin, albeit in due time. “I’m having a good time, I love the animation. I love the idea of playing Norman Osborn, and you’ll see his evolution into the Green Goblin in the coming seasons, which will be very cool,” Domingo revealed.
In the interview, the veteran actor also addressed rumors linking him to the other live-action Marvel roles, including that of Kang the Conqueror. Despite being open to undertaking an MCU part, Domingo seemed to have some conditions regarding the kind of role he’d accept. “I’m just all about energy and I just want to do things that make sense and bring gentle energy. I want a role to be mine, whatever that role is…I want to build something from the ground up that’s my own,” he stated.
At the time of writing, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has already premiered five episodes of its debut season, with the remaining five set to come out in the coming days.
