7 Actors to Zap Electro to Life in The Amazing Spider-Man 2

5. Damon Wayans Jr.

Now, I'm not one for changing the race of an adapted character for the heck of it, but let's face it, the idea of Wayans taking on the role is incredibly intriguing. I'm taking color completely out of it and saying that he could provide an interesting take on Dillon, full of life, charisma, and energy. But honestly, if Fox can make Kingpin black, Marvel Studios can make Nick Fury black (and, yes, I'm aware that he's based of Mark Millar's Ultimates iteration), then why can't Sony have a black Electro? I can see Wayans working it really well, and I certainly don't think his talent should be overlooked merely because of race.

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
