Five months after the bloody battle with Scorpion, Peter Parker has finally found balance. He’s started his junior year at Midtown High, still fighting street thugs by night, but living a quieter life by day — with Gwen Stacy by his side, the one person who knows his secret and loves him anyway. But peace in New York never lasts. When Oscorp’s CEO, Norman Osborn, begins experimenting with a volatile performance serum meant to push human evolution forward, the formula instead tears him apart — body and mind. Transformed into the deranged Green Goblin, Osborn becomes obsessed with Spider-Man, seeing in him the embodiment of everything he can’t control. What begins as corporate ambition turns into all-out war as Goblin rains chaos across the city, targeting Peter’s world with ruthless precision. Spider-Man: Rise of the Goblin is an R-rated emotional and physical nightmare that forces Peter to face the monster behind the mask — and within himself. As Norman’s dual identity collapses into madness, the battle between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin becomes deeply personal, threatening to destroy everyone Peter loves. Torn between saving the city and protecting Gwen, he’s pushed beyond his limits, both as a hero and as a human being. In a savage final showdown atop the skyline, Spider-Man must face the horrifying truth: to stop the Goblin, he may have to break his own moral code — and sacrifice everything that still makes him Peter Parker.
