I mean, I assume this will be a new take, and Foxx is a fine actor, but why unnecessarily associate with the pile of dreck that is TASM2?

Wynaut?

I mean TASM2 is better than FFH 🤷🏿‍♂️

In your opinion, but in terms of critical and audience reception, not even close.

Also, this is meaningless, but I got a chuckle out of the article using the wrong date (Nov 5). So many release date changes that even HWR can’t keep the mcu schedule straight 😛 

[YourMother the Edgelord 21,226]

Interesting choice of development I’ll say that.

Because... most people don’t exactly have fond memories of TASM2, lol. I mean this seems pretty straightforward — positive connotations good, negative connotations bad. It makes me wonder if they have a specific multiverse winking thing lined up here and went to Foxx specifically or if they just decided to use electro in the story with any actor and liked Foxx when he re-auditioned or something.

And it’s my opinion. Joker was an Academy Award nominated film and I hated it. Just because others like it, doesn’t mean others do.

To be clear I won’t be surprised if he turns in a good performance and I like the character a lot in this movie, it’s just an out of left field move that creates more questions than it answers for me.

[WandaLegion 14,431]

Maybe Foxx wanted a new take at the character and brought it up himself ala Mahershala for Blade.

I doubt it’ll be the ASM interpretation lol. And I sincerely doubt people are thinking “golly gee whiz, I sure do like Marvel and I’m excited for this movie, but Jamie Foxx being in this means I won’t watch it because he was in a bad Spider-Man movie”.

 

Honestly, put all the bombed reboots into these superhero movies. Replace Battinson with George Clooney and shit

My take is that Foxx is a good actor, and nobody will be turned off by having him in the movie.

[lorddemaxus 7,388]

Kevin Feige thought Jamie Foxx had a lot of potential as Electro btw (he said that in the leaked emails). He just didn't like the direction they took.

 

Edit:

Really love Electro – feels like you may not need the scene in his apartment, which makes him seems completely crazy and hard to relate too.

So crossover between 3 Spiderman franchises is happening. I thought that Feige praising Iman Vellani's Spiderman 3 4.5 review was another hint. 

 

[John Marston 18,240]

Matter of time before Maguire and Garfield show up 

 

 

also this should mean they should bring back Willem Defoe as Norman Osborn

Dude, that was meant to be a joke lol. 

[WandaLegion 14,431]

Also, acting choices aside, this will be the first reused major villain from the 5 non-MCU live-action spider-men, right? Guess it was going to happen eventually but also gets them closer to Sinister Six if the studios keep cooperating.

So that's why they haven't revealed the title early like the last two, and why there's been almost no details about the story. It's a live-action Spider-Verse movie.
