Live Action Feature Films
While the Green Goblin has appeared numerous times in the various animated series, the first live action appearance was in the blockbuster feature film Spider-Man (2002), which starred Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn. Gwen Stacy is not in the movie, and instead, Mary Jane Watson is threatened by the Green Goblin.
Green Goblin, Spider-Man (2002)His son, Harry Osborn feels resentful towards him as the father seems to favor Peter Parker, his friend. Norman Osborn is the head of Oscorp, a company that has a contract with the United States Military. Osborn becomes Green Goblin during tests of his device, and kills a co-worker. When a man dies in the test of a flight machine, the military decides to hand over the contract to another company, the Green Goblin appears and kills higher-ups in the military who were present. Osborn is later ejected out of the company by the board of directors.
The Goblin kills the board of directors at a World's Fair, and inadvertantly almost killed Mary Jane Watson. When Spider-Man finds that he is vilified in newspapers and that Mary Jane is going out with Harry, the Green Goblin tries to get Spider-Man on his side, but Spider-Man refuses.
The enraged Green Goblin finds out Spider-Man's identity and he proceeds to injure Aunt May in an attack against her. He then kidnaps Mary Jane Watson and tells Spider-Man that he must choose either to save her or to save a group of children in a cable car. Both are thrown off the Queensborough Bridge, yet Spider-Man manages to save the children and Mary Jane, as opposed to the bridge scene in the comic book, which ended in the death of Spider-Man's sweetheart.
The Green Goblin gets into a final battle with Spider-Man after telling him that he plans to torture and kill Mary Jane. After being defeated, the Norman personality came in, asking Spider-Man to forgive him while at the same time secretly directing his flying machine to impale Spider-Man from behind. Spider-Man sensed the attack and dodged, and the machine killed the Green Goblin instead. His death caused Harry Osborn, his son, to hate Spider-Man.
In Spider-Man 2, Harry's obsession with defeating Spider-Man lead him into a brief alliance with Doctor Octopus, an alliance that lead to Harry's discovery of Peter's secret identity. Harry subsequently hallucinated his father in a mirror, echoing a similar scene from the first film; when Harry shattered the mirror, he discovered his father's hidden Green Goblin costume and arsenal. Whether this means Harry becomes the second Green Goblin, or realizes that his father was a murderous psychopath that Peter likely killed in self defense has yet to be revealed in future films.
