Jamie Foxx Might Be Electro in 'Spider-Man 2'?

Sony is setting up 'The Amazing Spider-man 2' pretty fast already. The first one isn't even out on video yet, but sources are reporting that Sony is in early talks to get the comedian Jamie Foxx to star as the baddie Electro. Little bit out there but I can see it working out.

The villain Electro hasn't made his way to the big screen..yet, while I would contribute it to him not being a famous known villain to modern fans maybe because of the uhmm lets say corny costume. Don't Get me wrong the guy is a major bad guy with gaining his powers to control electricity from getting struck by lightning. Pretty badass.

In the post-credit scene of The Amazing Spider-Man, Dr. Conners is visited by an unseen person asking if Peter found out the truth about his father. The really big easter egg in the scene may be the bad lightning happening in the background. Pretty big giveaway I would say.

Jamie Foxx seems to be more accepting of the rumors without saying they're false, but rather tweeting a pretty funny tweet that either makes him a) a funny sarcastic guy that goes along with rumors to make fans freakout about the tease or b) he is fully saying yes they are true. I'm leaning towards b for the time being but comedians are just that a funny guy.

Dressed up as Electro for Halloween last night. Costume fits well.
