Spider Man 2
Jamie Foxx reportedly up for the villain in ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2′
Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man will face off against a "shocking" new adversary in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." According to Variety, Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx is in early talks to play the villain Electro in Sony's superhero sequel to this summer's reboot of the Marvel Comics' franchise. While the studio hasn't officially commented on casting, Foxx all but confirmed the role Thursday with a post-Halloween tweet: Dressed up as Electro for Halloween last night. Costume fits well. — Jamie Foxx (@iamjamiefoxx) November 1, 2012 The classic Spidey villain Electro, aka Maxwell "Max" Dillon, gained the ability to control electricity after being struck by lightning. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, he first appeared in "The Amazing Spider-Man #9" in February 1964. Foxx would be a departure from the comic-book character, who has traditionally been depicted as being Caucasian. There was a hint that Electro would be the villain of the next movie at the end of "The Amazing Spider-Man." In a short scene during the credits, Dr. Curt Conners, aka the Lizard (played by Rhys Ifans), was visited in his jail cell by a mysterious figure obscured in the shadows. The man (played by actor Micheal Masse) asked Connors if he told Peter Parker the truth about his father, and when Connors says no, he disappears with a flash of lightning. This lead some people to assume that figure was supposed to be Electro, but others believe it to be Norman Osborn, who was mentioned throughout the film (and later becomes the villain, Green Goblin). This would be the first time Electro would appear in a movie, but back in 1991, director James Cameron developed his own "Spider-Man" project that would have featured the character as one of the villains. Cameron's version got caught up in a web of legal issues surrounding the rights, and he eventually left the project, going on to direct "True Lies" and "Titanic." "Spider-Man" wouldn't hit the big screen until the next decade. Stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are set to reprise their roles as Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, respectively, with Shailene Woodley ("The Descendants") reportedly in talks to join the cast as a young Mary Jane Watson. "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" is scheduled to swing into theaters on May 2, 2014. Jamie Foxx will next be seen playing the title role in Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained," opening this Christmas. UPDATE: In an interview with Collider.com, director Marc Webb confirmed that the villain of the sequel will be Electro. He said, "I think Electro is an incredibly visual, exciting, dangerous villain. So, there's a lot of appealing stuff that's going to happen." http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-...221012641.html |

Paul Giamatti briefly talked about his role as Rhino, and made it sound like while he is in the upcoming movie, but that he wasn't really a major part of this film, but has been told that the plan for future movies would be when he would have a much larger role and screen time. Looks like Sony is banking on a Spiderman Universe of films to right their studios downturn. They're having to drop their yearly releases from 22-26 per year to about 18 this next year, and for example they had 4 "summer blockbusters" this last year, but as of right now only have 1 slotted for next year. They're going to be way more judicious on big budget films, and it looks like they're going to double down on the super hero genre for any big budget films since their viewed as a guaranteed bet that is bankable with high appeal and box office returns.

more than 1 super villain at once isn't a problem to me
spidey is constantly outnumbered and a huge underdog shitty super villians are the big problem

Pretty burned out on all the comic book movies-prob pass on this and all the rest. It is like watching the same movie over and over.

I'm on my phone so I can't embed but here's the new trailer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...e_gdata_player I think that's right anyway. My friend sent me the link through text so I removed the "m." And replaced it with "www". If someone on a computer could embed it I'd appreciate it. ....... But hooooollllyy balls! Those action sequences look fresh as ****! Catching flying cars? Boss! Dodging point blank machine gun fire? ****ing boss! I'm a but hesitant about having three villains in this one but the story behind his father and Oscorp seems intriguing. I am officially excited about this movie. |

Meh. Still say the first two Tobey Maguire Spider Man's are way better than this reboot.

This is like saying "man I really hate action movies". I find them entertaining that's more than I can say for a lot of the other crap that gets released these days.
