10 Reasons Why The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Is Going To Fail

8. Electro

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 When I heard that Jamie Foxx had been cast as one of Spider-Man's most famous enemies from the comics, Electro, I was pretty stoked, as was seemingly most of the film's fanbase. However, the first pictures of Foxx as the character surfaced last week, and the reactions were...polarised...if I'm being kind. While it's totally acceptable that Marc Webb opted not to go with the signature yellow and green clothing scheme from the comics, was this really the best they could come up with? So, they've given Jamie Foxx some veiny make-up, painted him blue, and given him a hoodie that has cheap-ass LED lights inside? It looks like a bad costume someone would wear at Halloween, and though we can't be sure that the character won't have some sort of CGI adornment before release, it just doesn't look very exciting or menacing so far. There's no doubt that Fox will imbue the role with as much ire as possible, but even he might struggle to bring this one to life.
