Jamie Foxx is in talks to play the Spiderman’s nemesis in the next installment of the franchise. First heard on Variety, Foxx would be cast as Max Dillon, aka Electro, a super villain who gains the power to control electricity after he is struck by lighting while working on a power line.

Jamie Foxx is an actor who brings a certain flair to all of his roles. While he’s definitely played some eccentric characters like Nathaniel Ayers in The Soloist, Dean “MF” Jones in Horrible Bosses and Django in Quienton Tarantino’s next flick, Django Unchained, the actor has yet to play a super villain. | Full Story
