Will Ned Leeds Become Hobgoblin in Spider-Man 4?

One of the most saddest stories in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is of Peter Parker. From losing his beloved Gwen Stacy to losing his best friend Ned Leeds, Peter has every right to become a villain. But is that the plan of MCU right now?

There are reports that Ned Leeds, as played by Jacob Batalon in the upcoming movie, will transform into Hobgoblin in the sequel, “Spider-Man 4.” Should this be the case, that will be. since what comic books had was Ned Leeds becoming one of the Hobgoblins.

Possible Plot Arc

The new trilogy may bring out a multiverse version of Ned, or even the original Ned who turns into a villain due to his loss of memory about Peter.

The sacrifice that Peter makes at the end of “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” by erasing himself from his friends’ memories, paves the way for how Ned might turn bad. It is with the loss of Peter’s influence in his life that Ned starts treading on the dark path.

Fan Reactions

While many fans are excited by such a plot twist, some others feel it is a bit too far removed from the character they learned to love. This duality of Ned’s character—once friend, now enemy—presents itself as a richly interesting storyline but at the same time can risk possibly losing some of the audience.

Future Implications

This would be the first time for a live-action Hobgoblin if this doesn’t spread as a rumor, so it will notably put new interest in the series of Spider-Man. This rumor would serve as an amazing arc for Ned. It will be interesting to watch him beef with his once-upon-a-time best friend Peter Parker.

While this is still a rumour, the news of Ned Leeds becoming Hoboblin in “Spider-Man 4” would definitely bring a new and interesting change to the storyline.
