Jamie Foxx is in talks to play the villain in the upcoming “The Amazing Spider-Man” sequel. Sources indicate Foxx would play Electro.<\/p>\n

Foxx recently tweeted “Dressed up as Electro for Halloween last night. Costume fits well.” The film’s director Marc Webb couldn’t confirm outright at the disc launch of “The Amazing Spider-Man” today, but heavily indicated the casting news and villain suggestion is correct.<\/p>\n

In the comics, Electro is the alter ego of Max Dillon, a man who gains the ability to control electricity after being struck by lightning.<\/p>\n

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are set to return, while Shailene Woodley in talks to join the cast as Mary-Jane Watson.<\/p>\n

Webb says that he’s keen to tackle the film as he can now move past all the origin elements.<\/p>\n

“What’s exciting about moving forward is that, in the first movie, I had to still honor some of the important elements of the origin story. But I also wanted to redefine the context of it because I’m building a different universe than what we’ve seen before. A lot of the nuance is quite different. Now, as we’re approaching the sequel, it’s really exciting because I feel quite liberated. I have a universe that’s my own. I don’t have an obligation to the origin story. It’s pretty fun and exciting and I can dig deeper into the parents.”<\/p>\n
