Spider Man 2

Jamie Foxx reportedly up for the villain in ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2′

Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man will face off against a "shocking" new adversary in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." According to Variety, Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx is in early talks to play the villain Electro in Sony's superhero sequel to this summer's reboot of the Marvel Comics' franchise.

While the studio hasn't officially commented on casting, Foxx all but confirmed the role Thursday with a post-Halloween tweet:
Dressed up as Electro for Halloween last night. Costume fits well.
— Jamie Foxx (@iamjamiefoxx) November 1, 2012

The classic Spidey villain Electro, aka Maxwell "Max" Dillon, gained the ability to control electricity after being struck by lightning. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, he first appeared in "The Amazing Spider-Man #9" in February 1964. Foxx would be a departure from the comic-book character, who has traditionally been depicted as being Caucasian.

There was a hint that Electro would be the villain of the next movie at the end of "The Amazing Spider-Man." In a short scene during the credits, Dr. Curt Conners, aka the Lizard (played by Rhys Ifans), was visited in his jail cell by a mysterious figure obscured in the shadows. The man (played by actor Micheal Masse) asked Connors if he told Peter Parker the truth about his father, and when Connors says no, he disappears with a flash of lightning. This lead some people to assume that figure was supposed to be Electro, but others believe it to be Norman Osborn, who was mentioned throughout the film (and later becomes the villain, Green Goblin).

This would be the first time Electro would appear in a movie, but back in 1991, director James Cameron developed his own "Spider-Man" project that would have featured the character as one of the villains. Cameron's version got caught up in a web of legal issues surrounding the rights, and he eventually left the project, going on to direct "True Lies" and "Titanic." "Spider-Man" wouldn't hit the big screen until the next decade.

Stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are set to reprise their roles as Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, respectively, with Shailene Woodley ("The Descendants") reportedly in talks to join the cast as a young Mary Jane Watson. "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" is scheduled to swing into theaters on May 2, 2014. Jamie Foxx will next be seen playing the title role in Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained," opening this Christmas.

UPDATE: In an interview with Collider.com, director Marc Webb confirmed that the villain of the sequel will be Electro. He said, "I think Electro is an incredibly visual, exciting, dangerous villain. So, there's a lot of appealing stuff that's going to happen."

The Tobey McGuire Spiderman origin movie was 100x better than the reboot. The reboot was just laughable.

I've been warming up to it, although I'm still disappointed that they cancelled the excellent "The Spectacular Spider-Man" for this. It's decent but it's clearly aimed at a younger audience -- my 10-year-old niece loves it.

And yes I realize the irrationality of being disappointed that a cartoon is targeted at 10-year-olds.

Yea, its probably aimed a little younger, but its not overly or too kiddie like Super Hero Squad is.

Whats funny is how much SHIELD stuff is in it, yet they cant weave Spiderman into the SHIELD stuff in the movies.

Sony owns the rights to Spiderman's big screen appearances and Disney owns the rest of Marvel I believe. Lame.

The last Spider Man I saw was so bad - I took it back to Redbox after viewing it for about 7 minutes. It was like trying to tolerate The Hobbit.

You guys are all douche noodles. The first spiderman trilogy was way too childish. With the exception of James Franco, William Dafoe, and the guy who played Jameson, the cast was a joke. You guys can keep your Walt Disney spiderman trilogy. The rest of the world will appreciate a spiderman with a more realistic and dark twist.

I thought that the second Spidey was the best movie, one of the best comic book movies of all time. I found that the remake was on par with the original, some things I didn't care about on both, some things seemed cheezy and forced on both, the Villains weren't as developed as I would've liked them to be, etc.

Electro interests me, and if rumors are true, Dane Dehaan as Venom would be super sweet, but I feel he'd be better as Carnage.
