So what do you get when you cross Star Wars‘ malevolent Emperor Palpatine with Avatar‘s blue monkey people, the Na’vi? Well Jamie Foxx‘s Electro from The Amazing Spiderman 2 of course! Or at least that’s what these initially production photos look like. Even those these photos are deemed unofficial, they still offer a pretty detailed look at the veiny blueness of the lightning based Spiderman villain.
While this blue look way is more in tune with the Ultimate version of the character, the tracking dots lining his hoodie definitely indicate that there will be some special effects to accompany this get-up so we’re not quite judging the finished product. To me, it looks a little silly but I’m hoping that marrying some good special effects with all that practical makeup with turn his into an intriguing villain.
Also interesting to note is that Electro won’t be the only Spidey villain in this follow up as actor Paul Giamatti (Sideways) only joined the picture after stating his avid desire to play the Rhino. Dane DeHaan (Chronicle) has also hopped on-board to play Harry Osburn (who was played by James Franco in Sam Raimi‘s iterations of the film). Now those familiar with that trilogy will remember that Franco turned into the new Goblin in Spiderman 3 which really added to the sense of overcrowding in that film. Here’s hoping that The Amazing Spiderman 2 takes note of that mistake and doesn’t overdo it on the villains.
The Amazing Spiderman 2 will see the return director Marc Webb and stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone but also features a whole cast of new actors including: Dane DeHaan, Shailene Woodley, Paul Giamatti, Felicity Jones, Chris Cooper, and Sally Field. The Amazing Spiderman 2 opens May 2, 2014.
