Foxx has played many roles in his career, from a mentally retarded
musician in “The Soloist” to an ex-con in “Bait.” But none of the Academy Award
winner’s roles are like the one he just landed. Foxx will play Electro, the
alter ego of Spider-Man enemy Max Dillon, in the “Amazing Spiderman 2.”
Electro is an antagonist with the ability to
control electricity, a power he developed after having been struck by
lightning. If you’ll cast your minds back to the post-credits scene in Curt
Connors’ jail cell, you might remember the arrival of that shadowy figure being
heralded by a lightning storm… just a thought.
Foxx will line up alongside Shailene Woodley, who is expected to make a brief
appearance as Mary-Jane Watson, while it is also thought that Martin Sheen will
reappear for a few Uncle Ben flashbacks.
“Dressed up as Electro for Halloween last night,” tweeted Foxx yesterday.
“Costume fits well.” If that’s not a confirmation, we don’t know what is! The
Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens in the UK on 18 April 2014
