    The whole film was incredible, but honestly, one of the best parts was Willem Dafoe returning as Green Goblin.

    This was obviously a role he was reprising from Spider-Man...and he was low-key even better in this movie than he was 20 years ago???

    And I'm not the only one who thinks so! Here's what people are saying on Twitter!

    1. First of all, this man only returned on the condition HE COULD DO HIS OWN STUNTS. He is 66 years old!!!!

    66 year old Willem Dafoe only agreed to return as the Green Goblin as long as he was allowed to perform the stunts and fight scenes. He’s so dedicated I love it

    2. He went WAY harder than he needed to for absolutely no reason, and it was incredible.

    4. Literally, how was he even better this time around??

    The way Willem Dafoe blew his own performance out of the water should be impossible. That man is brilliant. #SpiderManNoWayHome

    5. They should've put him in the TASM series, too.

    The fact that Willem Dafoe was the perfect Green Goblin for Tobey AND Tom is blowing my mind right now.

    6. He simply does not know how to phone it in.

    I don't think Willem Dafoe has phoned in anything in his life.

    11. Literally, give this man all the awards.

    I honestly think Willem Dafoe's performance in #SpiderManNoWayHome was award worthy. I found him scarier now than I did 20 years ago

    12. Oscar, anyone??

    I am stating this because I truly believe it. #WillemDafoe deserves an Oscar nomination for his performance in “#SpiderManNoWayHome”. RT if you agree and let’s spread this like wildfire…

    13. His facial expressions alone carried the movie.

    So happy Green Goblin didn’t have a mask for most of the movie. Seeing Willem Dafoe’s facial expressions added a beautiful layer of insanity.

    14. Thanos could never.

    not over how great willem dafoe was. he really is not just the best spider-man villain, but one of the best marvel villains period

    15. Petition to cast Willem Dafoe as the villain of every MCU movie.

    Willem Dafoe just reminded those who might’ve let it slip their mind over 20 years that he is one of the greatest comic book movie villain actors, ever.
