First, he wanted his role to be a real part. According to an older interview on MuldervilleHe didn’t just want a “powerful cameo” – he wanted to be there, on set, in action. “One of the first things I said… basically when they suggested it to me, even before the script was written, was, ‘Look, I don’t want to just appear there as a cameo or just fill it with close-ups. “. -ups. I want to act because it’s fun for me.”

In a new interview with BackWhen asked if he would return to the role, Defoe replies: “Of course, if everything was right.” Dafoe then explains that the Norman Osborn/Green Goblin character is “a great role.
