Recently unearthed videos from 2012 show the original mask for Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin in director Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man was way more faithful to the look of the character in the comics.
Even so, the Amazing Spider-Man reboot still opted to take a new design on the Green Goblin.
In second video, Raimi can be heard asking the person wearing the Green Goblin mask (it’s unclear if it’s actually Dafoe) to make his “most pleasant expression,” followed by a request to make his “most extreme movement of anger.”
Thanks pair of animatronic test videos dug up from 2012 by THR, a prototype mask designed by Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. for Spider-Man had a definitive look of the Green Goblin from the Spider-Man comics.
