Warner Bros. has snagged another actor from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man franchise for its burgeoning superhero universe, as THR reports that Willem Dafoe has signed onto the cast of Justice League. The former Green Goblin joins fellow webslinger alum JK Simmons, who famously tackled the part of J. Jonah Jameson in Raimi's trilogy and now plays Commissioner Gordon.
This initial report says that Dafoe is poised to appear in both parts of the superhero team-up flick as one of the "good guys." We just don't know who specifically he's playing yet. Is he a regular joe or another gifted metahuman? With a role spread over both movies it could be any number of iconic characters from the comics. Then again, as Zack Snyder proved in Batman v Superman, that doesn't guarantee safe passage (*sniff* Jimmy Olsen), so Dafoe might be an entirely new creation a la Holly Hunter's Senator Finch.
