Willem Dafoe generally needs no help upping his creep factor, but for his role as the Green Goblin in the original Spider-Man movies, the team at Amalgamated Dynamics still wanted to give him a hand. While they eventually landed on the metallic, removable mask that made it into the final film, in the above video you can see that they were originally going for a waxier, goblin-ier look similar to the comics.
And that look was creepy as hell. I don’t do horror movies, myself, so this sunk-cheeked, sharp-teethed mask will be haunting my dreams. (via The Hollywood Reporter)
- Randall Park, one of the stars of ABC’s Fresh Off the Boat, has been cast in Ant-Man and the Wasp. Collider and The Tracking Board report that he’ll be playing SHIELD Agent Jimmy Woo, though The Hollywood Reporter doesn’t have any role listed. The first Ant-Man suffered from an excess of minority-as-comic-relief characters (much as I love Michael Peña), so I personally hope Park has been cast in a more heroic role like a SHIELD agent.
