As much as people have been impressed with the performance of all the actors in the film, no one has wowed the audience as much as Dafoe has.
The new Spider-Man: No Way Home movie has taken the world by storm. This is the third installment in the MCU series of Spider-Man films and takes place right where the second one is left-off. The whole world knows Spider-Man's true identity now and Peter Parker wants to change the past. He asks Dr. Strange to reset the time to when no one knew who he was and in the process opens a multiverse. Through this, we get to meet the villains of the older versions of Spider-Man from the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield eras. This includes Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus, Jamie Foxx’s Electro, and Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin.
As much as people have been impressed with the performance of all the actors old and new in the film, no one has managed to wow the audience as much as Dafoe has in his role as the Green Goblin. Here are some appreciation tweets from fans who were blown away by his explosive performance. He really did manage to steal the show and how.

I honestly think Willem Dafoe's performance in #SpiderManNoWayHome was award worthy. I found him scarier now than I did 20 years ago

Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin sent shivers down my spine the same way he did when I was a kid. Unreal performance. #SpiderManNoWayHome pic.twitter.com/h2JzlYEwG3

The fact that Willem Dafoe was the perfect Green Goblin for Tobey AND Tom is blowing my mind right now.

So happy Green Goblin didn’t have a mask for most of the movie. Seeing Willem Dafoe’s facial expressions added a beautiful layer of insanity.

Willem Dafoe has cemented his Green Goblin as the greatest CBM villain of all time. Nobody will ever come close.

Willem Dafoe be ACTING acting, IDK what y’all be doing. But my mam comes with a performance.

Willem Dafoe's entire role in #SpiderManNoWayHome is to prove that even one laugh out of him is more menacing than a purple alien who wipes out half the universe in a snap. Seriously, I can't stop raving about his performance. Almost two decades later, and he did Goblin better. pic.twitter.com/FGRSUXwDX2
