Jacob Batalon, who plays Ned Leeds in the Spider-Man films, is openly considering a shocking twist: becoming the Hobgoblin. In a candid interview, he revealed he’s ready for the villain role, even comparing himself to other Marvel actors waiting for their big break. He joked he thought it might happen in No Way Home, and pointed out Ned’s MIT background makes him a perfect candidate for complex, brainy villainy. While comics show Ned as a brainwashed victim, the MCU’s magic mishap in No Way Home has already planted seeds for a darker turn. Batalon also championed greater Asian representation in villain roles, making this potential shift not just thrilling—but timely and meaningful.
