Actor Willem Dafoe while speaking with Mulderville revealed his desire to appear in every action scene involving the Green Goblin via Comic Book. 

Dafoe states that he didn't want Computer-generated imagery (CGI) to handle everything. The actor desired to be included in the scenes of 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' on an equal footing with the other young actors. "To do this physical stuff was important to me," 

"In fact, one of the first things I said to Jon [Watts] and Amy [Pascal], basically when they pitched it to me before there was even a script was, ''listen, I don't want to just pop in there as a cameo or just fill in in close-ups. I want to do the action because that's fun for me.' He also added how he feels it is "really impossible to add integrity or any fun to the character" if the actor does not participate in the making.

"Because all of that action stuff informs your relationships to the characters and the story. It makes you earn your right to play the character, in a funny way," Dafoe states.
