Here’s Jamie Foxx As The Amazing Spider-Man 2′s Electro. It’s Weird. You’ve Been Warned.

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:21 am, April 16th, 2013

Well we already knew they weren’t going to make Jamie Foxx dress up in a yellow and green supervillain costume for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 but I’m not sure this is what anyone expected Electro to look like. Those lights might be tracking dots with the added value of creating some electric glow to help with post-production but what do you think of the look? Looks like they’re taking the mutated villain route again. I’m assuming this is an in between look and that he’ll have a full costume later in the film.

“Daddy’s going to be in Spider-man“

by Susana Polo | 11:24 am, December 14th, 2012

[My daughter] dressed as Spider-Man for Halloween and had a Spider-Man jumper. Yesterday, I took her to the set, she didn’t know [that I had been cast], and she says, ‘What is this?’ I said, ‘Daddy’s going to be in ‘Spider-Man. She says, ‘Is Spider-Man going to beat you up?’ and I said, ‘I don’t know.” She says, ‘Good.’ – Jamie Foxx, who will be playing the villain Electro in the upcoming sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man.

According to Foxx, his daughter also had a Spider-Man themed birthday party last year. Welcome to the fold, Ms. Foxx, and if anybody tells you you’re faking it, make sure they know your dad’s gone toe to toe with Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 might be getting Foxxier. It’s been confirmed that the villain in the Marc Webb-directed superhero sequel, slated for release in 2014, will be Electro, and Variety reported yesterday that Jamie Foxx is in early talks to play him.

Foxx has yet to officially join the cast, though a Tweet he posted yesterday (“Dressed up as Electro for Halloween last night. Costume fits well.”) confirms at the very least that he’s interested in playing Electro, legal name Max Dillon, an electrical engineer who was transformed into a living electrical capacitor by a freak lightning strike.
