8 Actors Who Could Play Norman Osborn In The Marvel Cinematic Universe

Filming on Sony/Marvel collaboration Spider-Man: Homecoming is now under way, with the movie due to swing into cinemas next July. There are not too many things that have been 100% confirmed about the film as yet, but it is expected to pit Tom Holland’s Spidey against that winged terror The Vulture. This has been met with positivity from fans, as Vulture is a villain we have yet to see on the big screen. Unlike Norman Osborn, for instance, who has featured in four out of five of the previous Spider-films.

Mark Strong is no stranger to playing comic book villains, after featuring as crime boss Frank D’Amico in Kick-Ass and Sinestro in Green Lantern (though he didn’t get to play the character as an antagonist). He’s perhaps a predictable choice for Norman Osborn, then, but he would be a reliable one nonetheless.

Strong is often at his best in movies with a sense of subversion about them, hence his frequent collaborations with director Matthew Vaughn. What we saw of Tom Holland’s Spidey in Captain America: Civil War suggests he will be the funniest Spider-Man yet, so presumably that will continue in Spider-Man: Homecoming.  A Norman Osborn played with menace as well as having his tongue firmly in his cheek would be a good fit for Holland’s take, then, and Strong would be the perfect pick to portray that.
