Spider-Man’s Jacob Batalon Responds To Those Hobgoblin Rumors

Before Spider-Man: No Way Home dropped and took over the box office, there was a multitude of rumors swirling around about which characters or actors would or wouldn’t appear in the threequel. Some appearances proved to be true (the Spider-Man Holy Trinity) while others were just false rumors. One rumor that had no merit was the possible introduction of Hobgoblin. The rumors had Jacob Batalon (aka Ned Leeds) becoming the villain. Months after No Way Home hit theaters, Batalon responded to the hearsay.

Watch Tom Holland, Zendaya, And Jacob Batalon Hilariously Make Fun Of Each Other’s Spider-Man Audition Tapes

While moviegoers are still reeling from Spider-Man: No Way Home’s finale, the great moments shared between Peter Parker, MJ, and Ned can live on in their minds (and on the small screen). Tom Holland is seemingly in talks to return for a new slate of Spider-Man films, but Zendaya and Jacob Batalon’s fates are still up in the air. While their onscreen relationship may have ended, their off-screen friendship continues to leave on. In being so close, it’s only fair that Holland, Zendaya, and Batalon get the chance to one last laugh in at each other’s expense.
