Would Chris Cooper have made a great Green Goblin?

Okay most of us couldn’t picture anyone other than Willem Dafoe being the Goblin in live action. Spider-Man’s archnemesis who’s infamous for the murder of Gwen Stacy. Something which Doc Ock and Carnage could only dream of. Dafoe made the Goblin a pop culture icon in Sam Raimi’s 2002 Spider-Man film. As Oscorp CEO Norman Osborn. Then reprised the role in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. After Raimi’s trilogy ended in 2007, Chris Cooper became the next live action Norman Osborn. Being mentioned in the 2012 Amazing Spider-Man film before officially appearing in the 2014 Amazing Spider-Man 2. And many people thought The Green Goblin would appear. He did but it was Harry (portrayed in this universe by Dane DeHaan, replacing James Franco) who became the Goblin. Neither Norman or the Goblin would return to live action until 2021 with the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Where Dafoe outdid his performance of his 2002 character. And while it’s nearly impossible to imagine anyone other than Dafoe being the Green Goblin. Would Cooper have made a great Goblin

Possibly- he's often underrated as an actor.

He's also, however, one of those who seems to be prone to having people (not casting directors, but audience members) lock him in as a specific character. To me, he'll always be Bob Cody. And that made the new Muppet movie VERY awkward.

Chris Cooper is a good actor but would not be as convincing as a crazy person as DeFoe.
