One of our favorite black actors Jamie Foxx has landed another role in an upcoming blockbuster film, and he will be portraying popular comic book villain Electro in “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” The official synopsis for the film reads:

We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2™, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead.

It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.

 

Electro is an electrical engineer who originally is one of Spider-Man’s biggest fans but ends up becoming a foe after he obtains powers from a lab accident involving electric eels.

The first official trailer from the film was released and you can check it out below:

  1. I’m so happy for Jamie. I know he’s going to do his thing in this movie. The last one was kind of slow, so I’m hoping that this one will be way more action packed.
