sounds like awful casting to me, but it might work out.

If he is the Jamie Foxx from Ray, Soloist or DJango I think he could do a good job. If it the Foxx from say Stealth, then well. .

Marc Webb Talks Jamie Foxx, Electro and The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Although he's still unable to officially confirm today's report that Jamie Foxx will play Electro in his upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man sequel, director Marc Webb spoke today at a press event for next week's DVD and Blu-ray release of the first film and was more than willing to tiptoe around the issue.

"I think Jamie Foxx is electrifying!" Webb laughed when asked if the actor would, indeed, appear in the sequel. "I think Jamie Foxx is one of the best actors around today. He's such a great character actor and he's a really brilliant guy. I would love to work with him and you'll be hearing more on that shortly, I'm sure."

When asked what other Spider-Man characters he was particularly fond of, Webb again mentioned Max Dillon's electrically charged alter ego.

"I like Electro," Webb smiled. "I'm fascinated by Norman Osborn and the different inflections of him. And Harry. Mary Jane and Gwen are always interesting to me."

Jamie Foxx or not, Electro could be great on the big screen.

Not a fan of Foxx, but I love that they are going with a much more realistic take on crime.

I think Zachary Quinto would have been a better choice as he knows how to play creepy characters like in Heroes.
