@KnightTemplar Look again. Norman Osborne 100% guaranteed!
 
What role does he play in the story?

Osborn led his version of the Thunderbolts, which included Bullseye and Venom, against the Skrulls. Eventually, Osborn himself killed the Skrull Queen in the final battle. This redeems him in the eyes of the public, who forgive his past crimes as the Green Goblin. Osborn leverages his role in Secret Invasion into taking over SHIELD - which he renames, "HAMMER" for no other reason than he likes the sound of it - setting up the Dark Avengers and eventually declaring war on Asgard.

Towards the end, he makes a badass weapon and kills the Skrull leader, then becomes director of H.A.M.M.E.R. ( like a dark S.H.I.E.L.D.) and begins to take over the world if I remember correctly
He's such a prick in comics. Who would be
a great choice to play him in the series.
