First of all I would like to apologize for the title, it wasn't my idea....ok it was but I have good reason. So this is OLD news but apparently Jamie Foxx is up for the role of Electro in the upcoming "The Amazing Spiderman 2." I am realizing now that the title is just a mouthful, you would think that while everyone in the superhero film making industry is using Christopher Nolan's Batman films as source material they would follow in its path of not using the same name with a number following. I guess you can take gritty and still keep Sh.... you know what, I am not going to finish that statement.I am actually ecstatic about Foxx being up for the role, he is an amazing actor and would do a great job portraying the villain. I just hope they don't give him some corny back story of being an ex-gang banger, seriously my fingers are crossed. I held back from posting anything about it because I didn't want to jinx it (or I was too lazy, I am not telling). I had to speak up when Marc Webb spoke out and said he is a front runner for the job. Sure that wasn't a direct quote but I like it better that way. I just hope that they don't go the route of the green and yellow outfit and more the bad ass Ultimate Spiderman version of Electro.
Please for the love of Stan Lee don't do this! |
