Jamie Foxx as Electro looking very sinister.

When Mark Webb first announced that Jamie Foxx was cast to play Electro in the next installment of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, I have to say that I was truly disappointed. I've caught a lot of crap from people calling me racist because they're changing the character from a white man to a black man. No! In fact, I fully support changing the race of some characters, especially if it works. As an example, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. As many people know, Marvel's "Ultimate" universe's Nick Fury was modeled after Sam Jackson and he just so happens to LOVE comic books, so he signed up immediately when asked to play the role of Nick Fury.

Any way... back to what I was saying.

I don't like Jamie Foxx as an actor. Sure, he may have been awesome in Django. I wouldn't know because I've been putting off seeing the movie since it stars an actor that I can't stand. But, these new leaked photos have got me PUMPED UP to see this movie. Just judging on the character design alone, I think I'm going to love Electro whether I hate Jamie Foxx or not.

The character design seems simple when you look at the behind the scenes photos. He just looks like a dude painted blue. But, when you look closer in the other photos, there is so much more detail. You can see bulging veins, silver-like contact lenses, and little LED lights lined within the hood of his hoodie to illuminate his face to give a glowing effect.

So far, everything looks awesome and I'm dying to see more from Electro and also curious to see what Rhino will look like. I'm itching with anticipation for this movie's release.
