Marc Webb’s Amazing Spider-Man reboot was met with a mixed reaction. Considering it retconned the entire Tobey Maguire/Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy so soon after Spider-Man 3 farted its way into our minds with new mythos, new actors, and a new direction, Amazing Spider-Man had a lot working against it when it swung into theaters last year.
However, with the new mythos established and Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone set as the faces of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, Webb and company are able to swing wild with the upcoming sequel, Amazing Spider-Man 2. Today, the first official look of Jamie Foxx as the film’s main villain, Electro, was revealed as part of Entertainment Weekly‘s cover story for the film. Casual Spider-Man fans might be turned off by the cosmetic changes made to the Sinister Six villain, but diehard webheads might catch Electro’s similarities to his Ultimate Spider-Man incarnation of the character.
May 2, 2014 is the proposed release date for Amazing Spider-Man 2. Do you think you’ll be ready by then?
