on

Willem Dafoe, who recently reprised his iconic role as the villain Green Goblin, praises Tom Holland’s performance in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The youngest Marvel fans did not grow up with the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy with Tobey Maguire. However, they all know Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin now. He stepped back into the unsettling role of the unhinged Norman Osborn in Spider-Man: No Way Home and earned plenty of praise. However, Willem Dafoe and Tom Holland do not compete like Spider-Man and Green Goblin, and Dafoe had high compliments for the Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man.

Dafoe was the first-ever villain of the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy, creating a very memorable character in the process. He reprised the role for Spider-Man: No Way Home, quickly becoming the most anticipated and fan-favourite antagonist of the film as he tested Holland's Peter Parker to his limit. The talented Dafoe returned as the Goblin at the request that he would be allowed to perform his own stunts. Dafoe's Goblin switched up his look as well, initially arriving in the full Goblin suit before deciding to go maskless for the rest of the film.

In a recent interview with GQ, Dafoe talked to the magazine about his latest projects, praising Holland along the way. The actor has been a social media favorite lately, starring in a fashion YouTuber's New York video in which he is seen showing off his fashion choices, which has since gone viral on TikTok as well. Dafoe acknowledged the praise surrounding his return as the Green Goblin, as well as handing some over to Holland, citing the British actor's commitment to his superhero role.(Store: https://hipmodes.com/)

“He reserves special praise for Spider-Man 3.0 Tom Holland. I admire greatly his discipline and his commitment to the role. And physically, he was incredible”

Holland has been praised highly for his performance as Spider-Man before by many actors, but accolades from Dafoe himself must be a very important compliment. The veteran actor has been performing for the past 40 years, becoming an influential figure in Hollywood. Whether it's Nuidis Vulko in the DCEU's Aquaman, or Thomas Wake in the Oscar-winning The Lighthouse, Dafoe has shown versatility and talent in his acting career, fully deserving to be one of the most recognised actors in the film industry. Dafoe has also been tipped by many to be the perfect version of Batman's notorious villain The Joker, with fan-art being released recently on social media showing how Dafoe fits perfectly for the role.

Dafoe's next project is the Guillemero del Toro-directed Nightmare Alley, a film based on the 1946 novel of the same name. He will star alongside other big names such as Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette and Bradley Cooper. As for Holland, Uncharted comes out next month on February 18, in which he plays the lead role of Nathan Drake alongside Mark Wahlberg's Victor Sullivan. Despite the two actors being far apart in age, both Dafoe and Holland have made an incredible impact on the film industry in their own way, and having them face off in Spider-Man: No Way Home was clearly not just a delight to fans, but to the great Dafoe himself, too.
