Aside from Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield making their grand returns as Spider-Man in No Way Home, seeing Willem Defoe coming back as the notorious Green Goblin did not disappoint the fans in the slightest.
The hatred between Spider-Man and Green Goblin was at an all-time high in this film, as Willem Defoe portrayed the Goblin so malevolently, that no doubt Spider-Man: No Way Home will be regarded as one of Dafoe's most iconic roles.
When the creative team was developing how the Green Goblin's classic suit would look for the film, they were inspired as far as to drawing up some concept art, in which we can see that at one point there were talks of Norman Osborn wearing the Mark VI Ironman armor from Ironman 2 and The Avengers.
The concept art design is featured in the Spider-Man: No Way Home - The Art of the Movie artbook, where we can see Norman Osborn riding around in his augmented suit on a Mysterio holo-drone from Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Another abstract design of a potential suit upgrade for the Green Goblin showcases a more "comic-accurate" color palette, where the Ironman armor is now painted a prominent purple color, much like Green Goblin's classic color scheme from the comics, with the addition of the suits rocket leg-boosters.
Many fans believe this design is a nod to the Iron Patriot armor Norman wore in the pages of the Dark Avengers run in the comics.
