James Acheson was one of the people 24 News Bulletin’s Sean O’Connell interviewed for his new book.

Due to his displeasure with the mask, Acheson was no fan of the scene where Norman Osborn tries to recruit Tobey Maguire’s web-throwing hero alongside him. The costume designer explained:

at the beginning SpidermanThe development of an Animatronic Green Goblin mask was designed to make the character more like his cinematic counterpart. However, that design was eventually discarded and although James Acheson did his best to give his own take on the Green Goblin mask, he obviously wasn’t happy with the final product. Perhaps he felt some relief seeing the Green Goblin mask destroyed Spider-Man: No homecoming last year, allowing Willem Dafoe’s amazing facial expressions to shine in all their glory more often.
