Willem Dafoe Insisted on Being The Green Goblin As Much As Possible (Actors Who Care)

Some actors nowadays are quite happy to just sit in a recording booth and let stuntmen/CGI do all the work for them. Well not Willem Dafoe, who insisted that he be the Green Goblin as much as possible.

I want to give props to Karl Urban for refusing to remove the Judge Dredd helmet because the actual character would never do that.

[@Person1................68]

Amen that movie was awesome!

[@connorb2112]

I second that and for starring in the doom movie alongside the rock. That FPS scene when he fights pinky with a chainshaw made that movie for me. I love that movie

[@oikkuoek]

And that is where the similarities of Urban's performance and the source material ended. Karl never actually understood the character, although the original Judge Dredd never could make onto the big screen. Urban was too human, had too much emotions, and never embodied the dark humor of JD. Sly was better Dredd, although the movie itself sucked. Urban's Dredd had way better script and direction, and that's why his performance stands out like a sore thumb.

[@restlesswretch3555]

Karl Urban is best guy for a reason. Loved Priest.

[@oikkuoek]

Karl Urban is a cute soap opera actor with no actual acting skills. He ruins the illusion every time with his half-assery. It's kinda fun to see him try and fail, but he tries to breathe life into characters that matter, it's just sad.

[@JoeSmith-qt4ss]

I bspriefly met Mr. Dafoe after this movie was released. I was at an ice cream shop in Florida with my (grown son) and mentioned that I liked his work, as we were speaking two young boys about 8-10 years old spied him. They were whispering together and looking at him but were too shy to speak. He waved them over and spent a good amount of time speaking to them. They were, of course, thrilled and couldn't believe they were talking to the Green Goblin. He was a very reserved man but took time out of his day to speak to these boys on their level. It was very nice to see and just made me like him even more.

[@knightofthefallen7416]

I loved that Patrick Stewart was there first choice for Professor X, he had never seen an X-men comic before and when he went for the casting meeting, they showed him an X-men comic with Professor X on the cover and he asked why am I on the cover?

The best part of that Spiderman train scene is the ending. After stopping the train, he collapses due to exhaustion and is about to fall from high up, and the people hold him. It´s quite deep and poetic. One of the best superhero scenes for sure.

Defoe was 1000% correct about everything he said. He IS the one on set who understands the character and it shows through his dedication, fighting style research, character development etc. He’s brilliant

Here’s another actor for you, David harbour from stranger things got ridiculously buff to play hellboy. The studio insisted that they could C.G.I. on some muscle but Dave said no he wanted to be as physically terrifying as a large demon could be.

[@fictionarch]

that was a smart move on his part. he was already on an uphill battle being the fallow up to Ron Perllmen and although I think fans would be ok with someone playing the physical Hell Boy and Harbour provide the voice, I think people would be even more pissed if Harbour said lets just cg the guy. shame the movie sucked but it wasn't his fault.

Honorable mention to actors who cared about their super-hero roles: Brandon Lee in The Crow He could've just coasted on his fame as Bruce Lee's kid and basically portray a slightly more gothic batman knock off. Instead he worked hard to show the torment and sorrow of Eric Draven, adding heart and depth to what could've been just another gritty comic book flick. The last interview he had, he told everyone how glad he was to have taken the part and help express the message of the movie: "That nothing is trivial."

They were very Spider-Man; if you read the comics, they do tend to be on the more humourous side, the man himself often being written as the king of snark. The Amazing Spider-Man films, on the other hand, were too serious. And actually, it's something that Marvel has nailed in their films, they've managed to inject Spider-Man's goofyness into the overall more serious MCU in a way that feels natural (likewise with the Guardians). Well, Spider-Man 3 was a bit of a hot mess, but that's what happens when you have too many antagonists.
