Jamie Foxx is Villainous Electro in "The Amazing Spider-Man" Sequel

Posted: November 1st, 2012 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Jamie Foxx is Villainous Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man SequelSubmit Comment
Sony Pictures recently announced that Marc Webb will be returning to direct "The Amazing Spider-Man" sequel, which will bring back Andrew Garfield as the title character and has added Shailene Woodley (The Descendants) as Mary Jane Watson.

When casting Mary Jane, the studio sent out character breakdowns to talent agencies. And on the list was Electro, a villain who gains the ability to control electricity after being struck by lightning.

Variety has now learned that Electro will be played by Jamie Foxx. The actor hinted at the casting by posting the following message on Twitter: "Dressed up as Electro for Halloween last night. Costume fits well."

According to the same character list, Harry Osborn (played by James Franco in Sam Raimi's trilogy) will also make an appearance in the new movie, which is set to hit theaters on May 2nd, 2014.

Actually, the news I read says he plays a villain, and that villain *could be* Electro.

Anyway. I actually enjoyed The Amazing Spiderman. Look forward to the sequel.

And no, I don't have a brain tumor. I already checked.

@ mink...could be worse...you couldve said you like wolverine...they declare you straight away

@mudders: Sorry. I hated Wolverine. What a missed opportunity on Marvels most popular and iconic character.

But X-Men: First Class was pretty f*cking awesome. Best X-Men movie by far. Wish they had done the first two like that instead of a United Nations peacekeeping kaffeeklatsch. Yawn.

hated wolverine too but i cant agree on first class.
i dont know what it was about it...but i just couldnt get into it.
magneto was awesome in it...for me the only real character i could relate to
minkowski writes:

Fassbender was awesome as Magneto. He needs his own movie, a one-off from First Class.

...I'm quickly becoming a huge fan of the Fass.

actually think jamie foxx is an Inspired choice for MAX Dillon aka Electro!

Michael Fassbender would be inspired choice for Max Headroom.
minkowski writes:

Speaking of which, and I'm sure this'll be ignored, does anyone else see an uncanny resemblance to Jim Carrey's comedy schtick in Matt Frewer's Max Headroom?

Just watch this one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzxHDqUz8Sk

And tell me he doesn't sound and act just like Jim Carrey! Wow!

Hey Alex: Instead of the edit button, how about rolling the WP Facebook comments into the comment threads here? Kind of sucks there's a chasm between what we say here and what's said there. And I want to tell that Matt Kelly guy the only thing more ridiculous than me is his stupid haircut.

I'm not sure how practical it would be in terms of programming and the time it would take to set up and all that... but how about a chat room?

@Elbow: It's actually easier to embed FB comments than it is to do what you see here.
Elbow writes:
on November 1st, 2012 at 10:25:55 PM

how about allowing some basic HTML so that we can actually post an amusing picture instead of having to copy and paste the URL?

Elbow writes:
on November 1st, 2012 at 10:27:56 PM

and just like they have a profanity filter, they can have a picture filter thingy as well
minkowski writes:
on November 1st, 2012 at 10:29:54 PM

@Elbow: that's an interesting story. HTML used to be enabled, but no one knew except me, and then I used it, and the owner, our master Alex, disabled it and banned me for a day. Then, some time later, Lana Wachowski, under the name of Paulo, started posting gay pictures using HTML, somehow. And then boom. Lana/Paulo and the HMTL pictures disappeared.

True story.

Alex, if you are reading this, I had a dream once... of posting pictures of hot ladies with big titties. a simple dream, sure, but it was MY dream.

and now you have shattered that dream like so much broken glass.

@Mink

Fassbender would make a good Max Headroom.

And I never realised how much Jim acted like Max.

Still can't take foxx seriously in anything he does. Actually anything but Booty Call. For some reason I completely buy him in that. I just don't think he is all that talented.

So because he posted some bullsh*t on Twitter that makes it official? Riiiight.
