The on set pictures of Jamie Foxx as Electro hit the Internet the other day and now you can check out Foxx in full makeup on set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 during production. If I didn’t already know, I never would have guessed that Jamie Foxx was under all the makeup. Take a look at the video below and meet me on the other side to discuss.
Foxx stumbles through the crowd, which strangely doesn’t seem to notice him. I guess once you see Spider-Man and a giant lizard fight you become jaded when it comes to strange happenings around you. I like the look of Electro so far. I am hoping that those little dots around the hoodie will turn out to be crackling electricity.
What do you think?

If you thought the casting of Jamie Foxx as Electro in The Amazing Spider Man 2 was unexpected, wait until you see what he looks like. Lets bare in mind that Electro is one of the campier villains, so doing a live-action version of him would’ve been difficult. Regardless, I don’t think any of us expected the creatives behind TASM2 were gonna go so… Smurfy.
The Daily Mail has provided new photos from the Times Square set of Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man sequel revealing our first good look at Jamie Foxx as Maxwell Dillon, better known as the supervillain Electro. Check em’ out below:
It’s BLUE the villain is BLUE!!
Alright, so they go ultimate universe version…. why not? Hey, at least he’s more attractive than the girl playing Mary Jane. Definitely not what I expected, but I’m sure it’ll look cool with all the CG lightning added. I’m confident he’ll is gonna make a way better villian than the lizard.
The movie also stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Martin Sheen, Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson, and Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn. The movie will be released on May 2nd, 2014

When you shoot a movie, it’s pretty much a given that there will be a snag here and there. Usually these consist of things like production delays, actors throwing tantrums or sets burning down. The Amazing Spider-Man 2, however, has a more unique problem to deal with. Apparently, their shooting schedule has brought forth the ire of the New York Hasidic Jew community.
Columbia Pictures is currently set to do some shooting in the New York neighborhood of Williamsburg at the Marcy Avenue Armory from March 22nd to the 27th. Unfortunately, March 25th happens to be the first day of Passover, a rather important holiday for the Jewish community. Being that the neighborhood swells with out-of-towners coming in to gather with their families, shutting down the streets to shoot a movie, no matter how prestigious the title, will cause a logistical nightmare, particularly when it comes to parking.
Of course, these things do happen when the people setting up the shoots don’t do their homework, but it won’t be good press for Columbia to be making such a mess and pissing off a ton of people. Right now they’re working toward a compromise so that the shooting won’t interfere with Passover. Good for them, else the wall-crawler might find himself facing down against more than just Electro this time around.
Thanks to CinemaBlend for the heads-up.
The news coming out of director Marc Webb‘s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 production ha picked up as of late. Yesterday there was the closer look at some of the changes to the Spider-Man movie suit and today there are some new stills straight from the production set of the Marvel sequel.
Currently shooting in New York, we get some glimpses of Andrew Garfield‘s stunt double (I think it’s Shane Geraghty or Akos Schenek hanging upside down in the pictures), and some costume shots through the tree limbs.
Take a look through the gallery below and let us know what you think about the movie and costume so far in the comments section below. I think the changes to the eyes are a great nod to the comic book costume and will really stand out on the big screen.
Synopsis (So far):
Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) finds, life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can’t come quickly enough. Peter hasn’t forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away – but that’s a promise he just can’t keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.
The movie’s cast is rounded out with Martin Sheen (Uncle Ben), Shailene Woodley (Mary Jane), Paul Giammatti (The Rhino), Felicity Jones (Black Cat ???), and Colm Feore (The Vulture??? Norman Osborn???)
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 its way onto theater screens everywhere on May 2nd, 2014.

Despite what you may have heard, there are some of us that weren’t completely upset with Marc Webb’s latest Spider-Man reboot. In fact, there are quite a few folks out there looking for some news concerning the upcoming 2014 sequel. We already know that Electro (Jamie Foxx) will be the main villain and that Paul Giamatti is supposedly playing the Rhino. We also know that Mary Jane and Harry Osborn will be showing their faces. Now, there may even be some potential Black Cat casting. In addition, Webb teased a tiny taste of the changes they’ll be making to Spidey’s costume. Check it all out after the jump.

Sure, you read that headline and said, “Come on! Who cares?” Don’t deny it, we know you did. We know you enjoyed The Amazing Spider-Man just a little bit more than you enjoyed The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part II. Well regardless, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (or The Spectacular Spider-Man if you rather like that rumored title), is now before the cameras as of yesterday, the knowledge of which director Marc Webb shared via Twitter:
But perhaps more interesting than the news the production has begun on Amazing 2, is the news that Webb will be shooting the film on actual film, and not in 3-D digital like he did on the first Amazing. The film will still be in 3-D, but it will be converted in post, which is the general direction of the medium now. Interesting that just three short years after everyone went 3-D crazy to pad their returns, they’re now looking for cheaper ways to do 3-D for less.
Why, you may ask. Apparently, Webb himself was less than thrilled about the RED Epic 3-D cameras he used on Amazing 1, he considered them too bulky to do what he want to do. Perhaps, Webb was able to use over three-quarters of a billion dollars of clout to let him do what he wants to do on the sequel.
So is this good news or bad news for Amazing Spider-Man 2? Well, the look of the film, I don’t think, was the problem with the first Amazing Spider-Man, but more control by Webb has to be a good thing, right?
Right?
More news as it develops.
