Spider-Man: No Way Home saw the culmination of 20 years of the greatest comic book character ever created on the big screen, and brought together three generations of Peter Parkers, and the villains that have stood against them.
With Willem Dafoe returning as the iconic Green Goblin, and Alfred Molina as the great Doc Ock, many fans overlooked one of the great actors who reprised a role he originated in the original Spider-Man film.

“Total shock,” Simmons stated on getting the call to come back. “Truly, initially, because I figured we did the Sam Raimi thing, it was brilliant, it was great, it was wonderful, and they moved on.”
Simmons continued, “I thought, that was great, and bye-bye. And here I’m back. And Sam is back in the Marvel Universe as well with Doctor Strange [In the Multiverse of Madness]. It’s beautiful.”
