According to various reports, Oscar-winning actor, Matthew McConaughey maybe considered to play the role of the villain in the upcoming "Spiderman' movie.

According to the website PointofGeeks, McConaughey has been approached by Marvel to play the role of Norman Osborn a.k.a Green Goblin, the principal villain of the "Spiderman' series for the upcoming "Spiderman' reboot by Sony Pictures.

Although the news hasn't been confirmed either by McConaughey or Marvel Studios, McConaughey has hinted at taking up a project with Marvel.

Speaking to Variety, earlier this month, he said, "I've read some Marvel and DC scripts and I've talked about working with them on some scripts, none of which I'll share with you what they are "” or were. Yeah, I've circled some of those. Nothing has been right for me yet. But I'm sure open to it."

He also added, "It's very simple for me. I look at the script. Is the opportunity exciting? Is the money that comes with it exciting? Sure. Is it the possibility of going, 'Hey you can get on a train and it can be a franchise and you could do 3, 4, 5, and have a great time as some kind of superhero or anti-hero.' But I would also look at something like that and say, 'Hey, in success that means you are on the train for a while,'" he continued.

"Contractually, you're going to return to the character over and over. It's something I asked myself is it something I'd want to return to. Would I be excited to go back and put the shoes on the character again? Going and doing the press tour with that group of people again? I always ask myself those questions again. It starts with the story and character."

The character of Green Goblin was previously played by Willem Dafoe, in the first two editions and by Chris Cooper in the last year's edition of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2.'
