Jamie Foxx will play Electro in Spider-Man 2!

Hello Everyone! First let me apologize for another absence and not posting last week. Had to deal with Finals at college and things like this tend to fall by the wayside. I'm back though, and bring you an anniversary as this is the 10th installment of the geek critique blog!

According to my friend and Ace Movie Reporter Silas, Jamie Foxx will be playing the new villain in mind for the second movie of the Spider-Man reboot franchise. It's been reported that Foxx will be playing Electro. What do I think of this news? Well, here's what.

I wouldn't figure Foxx of all people to be involved in a movie like this or to be chosen for a character of this personality type. We've never seen him in a role for a superhero movie before so question is, can he cut the mustard? As they say. Does he even have enough passion for the part to make it believable and can he portray a good Max Dillion?

Also, is Electro really the proper choice for an enemy? Can they top what they did with such a grand villain as The Lizard? Will Electro be the only bad guy in this movie? We have yet to find out.

Also, it's being said the costume will be of a totally new creation. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? It could go either way really. Some recreated costumes are pretty bad ass, others are just awkward.

Honestly, I don't see Foxx as being a good fit for this part off the bat, but I would love for him to prove me wrong. I think he's a great actor, I just don't think this is the part or movie realm for him.

If there any further developments on this news I will be sure to share it with you all and of course, tell you what I think about it. That's all for this edition folks!
