FIrst Look: Foxx As Electro In Spidey 2

Splash News Online has posted our first look at Jamie Foxx playing bad guy Electro in director Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 

He looks very different from the green and yellow PJ like costumed incarnation in the comic. Is he one of the Smurfs? An extra from Avatar? Does Foxx think he is actually playing Mr. Freeze in Batman & Robin 2?

In truth--The color makes sense blue and or white make for better electricity on screen and the character is blue in the Ultimate Spider-Man Toon.




Andrew Garfield is already set to return as Peter Parker and Emma Stone is in talks to reprise her role as Gwen Stacy.

Shailene Woodley has won the role of Mary Jane Watson, the perennial red-headed love interest of Pater Parker in the Spidey comics. The role was previously played by Kirsten Dunst in director Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy. Dane DeHaan ("Chronicle") has won the role of Harry Osborn Osborn of course is Peter Parker's best friend and eventual enemy who was played by James Franco previously. Paul Giamatti plays the villain, the Rhino Chris Cooper has been cast as Norman Osborn--who eventually becomes Spidey's number one foe--The Green Goblin--The character was played previously by Willem Dafoe Felicity Jones (Like Crazy), has an undisclosed role in the film. Former Office star B.J. Novak also scored an unspecified role

Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Jeff Pinkner are writing the script based on a previous draft by James Vanderbilt.

Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach will produce.

The new film is now in production to meet its May 2nd 2014 release date.
