Jamie Foxx as Electro in 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' Revealed

Get your first look at what the actor will look like in the Spider-Man sequel.

Ever since it was teased that Jamie Foxx would be playing Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, we've all been wondering what exactly he would look like. His yellow and green costume might be cheesy but it's a classic look. Unfortunately it's also one that probably wouldn't translate too well in a live-action movie.

Back in December, Foxx did say his costume wouldn't be green and yellow. And now, thanks to Daily Mail Online, we can get an idea what Electro will look like.

No Caption Provided

He likely won't be wearing a hoodie in the movie. Foxx also said back in December when describing his look:

"They want to try new things, like a liquid rubber and things like that, and there are all these bolts and stuff in my arms when they are hanging me upside down and trying to figure out what happen."

Foxx was seen Monday in Times Square and we can assume this is just a temporary look until he finds something else to put on. Then again, maybe the hoodie and jeans look is what they'll give him since the green and yellow spandex suit is out (and would look silly).

No Caption Provided

We'll have to wait until we see actual footage of him in action. The blue look is interesting but there will likely be more electrical FX added in.

What are your thoughts? Does this look spark your interest?

Not a fan.

Agreed, but I'm referring to Foxx.

I hope at some point that Jamie walks up to a beaten, broken, and burnt Peter Parker, looks at him coldly and says ''I like the way you fry boy''. Sweeeet!!

doesn't matter what he looks like, Jamie Foxx shouldn't be in this movie. Terrible choice for Electro!

Everything in the Amazing universe seems to originate from the genetic mutation stuff at Oscorp. The video game has more mutants in it than a Turtles episode.

I wouldn't be surprised if Electro is literally an electric eel man.

I like this look. It's something new (since it's even a bit different from the ultimate look) and to be honest fits better into the movie Spider-Man - Universe. I mean most costumes look different in the movies (just think about the X-Men) and so far this has been working out well for me.

And besides that I assume he will be wearing some kind of super villain costume later in the movie and that might even have some green and yellow on it ( I know Foxx said it wouldn't.^^ But one can hope.)

@perfect_10: Whoa this site is messing up for me. Anyways Ultimate Electro's first appearance was in Ultimate spider-man 10. And he was already electro and a hired good in costume at that point. He wasn't hiding it, he was just bald and not blue yet but he still looked like a brightly colored man with no pupils. The only hooded Electro I can think of is the one in spectacular spider-man where he runs away from the hospital, but that was in the cartoon.

Is that the one?

Yeah I have to think there's going to be plenty of post production going into the finished product. This looks weird, like a swamp monster...

Not liking it. Maybe some digital editing and cg will complete the final look. Not giving it my final judgement though.

It reminds me of a combination of the Ultimate Comics Electro and the Frost Giant design from the Thor movie.

Looks like Avatar! But I'm guessing an on-set photo won't be as impressive as the actual CGI-enhanced final product, so I'll withhold judgment until a trailer comes out.

Can't say I was impressed with ASM 1's Lizard, though.

Looks pretty cool to me. I'm sorry but I could never take his classic look seriously. It looked like something somebody would wear at Mardi Gras.

LOL y'all have heard something called CGI right? They're more than likely going to add a ton of CGI to this so please shut up & quit nagging like a bunch of schoolgirls. I personally love the nod to the Ultimate Spider-Man look

Considering there is most likely going to be a decent amount of post production, this could be cool. I like how they go practical effects and then work to the CGI.

Hmm maybe what they should do is Adapt the old spandex costume to a more modern Green hoodie with lightning and black jeans

@v_scarlotte_rose

Because the movies are a mixture of both 616 and Ultimate universe. The movie title is just a name. The Avengers technically should have been called the "Ultimates" then.

Makes him look like a walking sunflower man.

I would definitely be more intimidated by the one made out of pure electricity. Hell even the MTV version was blue

People seem confused as to why he is blue, but there was a blue energy version back in 2003, and ultimate Electro has been seen a few times now.

Even classic looking Electro has turned into an angered energy form a few times.

he looks like an electric eel/fish man thingy. gotta be honest. not digging it. i think the ultimate look would have been better.

isn't that what the ultimate look is, just with more glowing and lighting effect and electricity shooting off of him....something that can be done with cgi after the fact? I mean these are just pics of him on the set..

A similar look to this , perhaps?

That's the look they are going for. He even has lights inside the hoodie to give his face an electric effect.

I think he looks great. I'm a big Ultimate Spider-man and this looks like that so I'm happy. This works for the Ultimate fans, but I bet the ones that ONLY read the 616 version of Spider-man are cursing the sky right now. Oh well, to bad for them. Let the little fanboys cry.

It looks like it will be cool in full costume will the SFX, and everything. I don't think he's supposed to look particularly like a super villain just from pictures of him in makeup on the set. But even for that, it looks pretty good. I'm really looking forward to seeing it all finished and polished up!
