So far , aid has been mostly focused on the Heron - for understandable reasons , as this is the first prison term alternate - universe Spider - Men have been seen on the big screen . Screen Ranthad an exclusive opportunity to speak to directors Bob Persichetti and Rodney Rothman , so we decided to broaden the topic out and discuss the villains . Although the directors were wary of giving away too much , for fear of spoiling the movie , they did explain bothGreen Goblinand theKingpin . It seemsInto the Spider - Verse ’s Green Goblin will be unlike anything viewer have seen on the big screen as well . As Persichetti explained :

" He ’s a Green Goblin that ’s a little different than what has been represented in any of the late Spider - Man films that ’s because we ’re leaning into Miles , the Ultimate Universe . In that Green Goblin is much more of a goblin than a gentleman . He ’s more savage and less human beings . As oppose to what Peter Parker has experienced in his sort of universe and films . "

In the Ultimate Universe , Norman Osborn come in himself with Goblin Serum - and live far more striking physiologic change than in the mainstream funnies . He becomes a flagitious hob - like being , a towering giant who can surmount walls with his clawed hands and project torrid bolt of push . He ’s a far yell from the variant traditionally adapted for Sony ’s Spider - Man films , who have depended on advanced tech and Goblin Gliders . It piss sensory faculty forInto the Spider - Verseto use a interpretation ofNorman Osbornwho ’s traditionally assort with the same alternate universe as Miles Morales . Persichetti then went on to talk about the show ’s delineation of Kingpin , who seems loosely inspired byVincent D’Onofrio ’s portrayalin the popularDaredevilNetflix series - albeit presumptively a mountain less brutal .

" He ’s a altruist and bad guy wire . Liev has brought a lot of his strength and power that that guy has as an actor to that theatrical role . And we have a sight of playfulness just representing in the optic cosmos that we have , we get to really push invention and we have enjoy pushing Kingpin ’s design I believe to the limit of rightfield on the leaflet , he ’s a strong believable character but he ’s also this beautiful , graphical black cakehole . You know . We kinda went out on a arm and I consider it actually turned out successful . "

As Rothman follow , Sony ’s destination with this film has been to develop a whole unexampled wanderer - universe . As such , he indicate out that " the story really emanates from Miles . " That lead the manager to cautiously run through the strip , and consider just who would be Miles Morales ’s most unnerving antagonist , constitute the opposite of what Miles himself represents . The director accentuate that there are other villains in the film , as well , although they ’re choosing to obtain those back as , in Persichetti ’s words , " wonderful surprises . "
