Over the last ten years , Spider - Manhas descend in many shapes and forms on the big screen , with several avatar adapt from the funnies to live - action . While we have a bit of actors require on the World Wide Web - sling role , all of the motion-picture show have had several iconic Spidey scoundrel come to lifespan from the Page of the comics . With the later Spider - Man photographic film , Spider - Man : Far From dwelling , strike theaters lately , it ’s time to range the many baddie that we have seen on the big screen .

Disclaimer : this inclination is focalize solely on the villain who passably much served as the grownup bad or share the billet as the primary adversary in the same film . So do n’t have a bun in the oven any of the Shockers , the supporting villains fromSpider - Man : Into the Spider - Verseand more . If you have n’t seenSpider - gentleman : Far From Home , be aware of some major spoilers below .

Venom (Spider-Man 3)

The controversial catastrophe that wasSpider - Man 3,the end of Sam Raimi ’s trilogy , get along with more negatives than positives for several reasons . One of them was Topher Grace ’s Eddie Brock a.k.a . Venomas the sequel brought the Symbiote to life in live - action mechanism . Given that Raimi had n’t even contrive for Venom to serve a large role in this episode , it ’s graspable why the execution was also a mess in the end . At the same time , this is also one of those case where the thespian was completely wrong for the persona .

Green Goblin (The Amazing Spider-Man 2)

While the Marc Webb franchise bulge strongly , it , unluckily , ended too before long withThe Amazing Spider - Man 2.In an crusade of fleshing out an seek cinematic universe rather than make a   strong sequel , The Amazing Spider - Man 2was crowd with secret plan points and baddies . One of them was Dane DeHaan ’s Harry Osborn who in this re - imagination of the Spider - Man cosmos became the Green Goblin way too fast .

There was never a problem with DeHaan as Harry , but it was the thought of making him into the Goblin so rapidly . In a moving picture that was already dealing with a major threat , introducing Harry for the first metre in this franchise and making him into a baddie without go to explore the fiber first , was a big downfall . It almost felt like his transformation only happened so he could carry through the purpose of get Gwen Stacy ( Emma Stone ) killed , adapt the classic comedian .

Green Goblin II (Spider-Man 3)

With James Franco ’s Harry Osborn , this is where thing drop dead into the right direction . The trilogy took its time to get Harry from being Peter Parker ’s ( Tobey Maguire ) to one of his enemies , only to be redeemed in the end . Despite the many hasten aspects of Spider - Man 3 , Harry ’s journeying into being the next Goblin felt up earned . It also helped that at the oddment , Harry does make the heroic sacrifice after the big showdown .

Electro (The Amazing Spider-Man 2)

Jaime Foxx brought Max Dillon a.k.a Electro to life in the 2d instalment in the Webb franchise , meant to be the big antagonist of that film . determine Max up as someone who had a pretty sad biography , it was light to connect with him and sympathise how his messed up translation got to his nous .

It was also smart as a whip specify Spider - Man ( Andrew Garfield ) up as his idol only for him to be turn into the person Max hated the most . While it was pep up to use the Ultimate Electro expression , it would have still been appreciate if his immature and yellow costume had somehow been adapted rather than some muted black leather suit .

Kingpin (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)

Spider - Man : Into the Spider - Versebrought the Spidey universe of discourse into animation and did a lot of characters right . One of them was the brawny Wilson Fisk a.k.a the Kingpin ( Liev Schreiber ) whose plot was both villainous , but also tragic . Wilson has always been one of the more complex forces in the Spider - Man mythology and this film made sure to introduce that aspect to fresh fans . The mind that he was simply trying to find his household from a unlike existence was heartbreaking , despite the fact that it was put New York at danger .

Sandman (Spider-Man 3)

Set to be the actual main baddie inSpider - Man 3 , Thomas Haden Church was really the unspoiled villain out of the trio we had . Similarly to other villain , Flint Marco was also go down up as a tragical foe for Spider - Man . From him initially trying to save his very sick girl to being the man who accidentally snap Uncle Ben ( Cliff Robertson ) in the first pic , you were able to finger for Sandman .

One of the polar scenes that pull out your heartstrings is when Flint explicate to Peter what in reality happened that night and how Ben ’s decease was a complete accident . Despite this sequel ’s weakness , the Sandman was definitely not one of them .

Green Goblin (Spider-Man)

While we have yet to see Norman Osborn join the Marvel Cinematic Universe , Willem Dafoe ’s take on the character in the firstSpider - Manmovie is still one of the most iconic portrayals . While the costume can be hash out , it does n’t take away from the peachy performance of Dafoe   and the character he would flirt in Harry ’s journeying despite dying at the oddment of this film . There is too much to get laid from this incarnation , from the fights with Spider - Man , the notable Goblin representative , and so much more .

Lizard (The Amazing Spider-Man)

InThe Amazing Spider - Man , we got off to a strong start in footing of villain with Dr. Curt Connors ( Rhys Ifans ) a.k.a . the Lizard . This is in spades that franchise ’s good villain simply because this was a man who did n’t really desire to be evil . All he wanted was to help human beings acquire further when it derive to wellness as he was looking to gain a new arm . The connectedness that they set up between him and Peter through Richard Parker ( Campbell Scott ) was one of the bright motion of that film . It also helped that the innovation for the Lizard was utterly astonishing . Similarly to Electro , this was also another tragic foe who was n’t malevolent for the rice beer of being vicious .

Vulture (Spider-Man: Homecoming)

When Spider - Man officially join the MCU , the dealership got off to a strong start and part of that was Michael Keaton ’s Adrian Toomes a.k.a . the Vulture . InSpider - Man : Homecoming , we see Adrian as pretty much Tony Stark ( Robert Downey Jr. ) but as a unconstipated guy . It was a sassy move to start the film up from Adrian ’s peak of perspective where the system screwed him over when all he wanted was to be a near man for his family . You could in reality understand where he was coming from even though his method were probably not ideal . However , it still does n’t change the fact that the Vulture is one of the unspoiled villains we have seen in the hot - action mechanism Spider - Man films .

Doctor Octopus (Spider-Man 2)

From the Raimi trilogy , the awarding for the strongest antagonist goes to Alfred Molina as Dr. Otto Octavius a.k.a . Dr. Octopus . Sticking to the calamity that some of these Spidey villain go through , inSpider - Man 2we see how a good man like Otto was take by the dark after an unfortunate stroke . Setting him up as a use theoretical account for Peter only to become one of the most dangerous men that New York ever faced was compelling in itself . Then we have the Octopus aspect that want to be praised given that this was done back in 2004 . All of this is what makes Molina ’s performance of Dr. Octopus so memorable to this day .
