First Look: Jamie Foxx as Electro!

“The Amazing Spider-Man” fans got their first peek at Jamie Foxx as Electro in the sequel this week, as he filmed in Times Square.

The costume is eerie and creepy, with veins, shining blue skin, and light, definitely villainous eyes.

It’s a big change from the original costume of Electro, who debuted in comics in 1964. Electro, the evil alias of Maxwell Dillon, is usually seen wearing a green-and-yellow costume.

"It will be a different color,” Foxx had already said of his character’s get-up. “They (the producers) want something for the future. They want to have it more grounded and not as comic book-y, so it won't be green and yellow. They want to try new things, like a liquid rubber and things like that, and there are all these bolts and stuff in my arms when they are hanging me upside down and trying to figure out what happen."

Looks like they accomplished that… but what do you think of the new design?

Electro gets his powers when Maxwell Dillon, an electrician, gets struck by lightning while he is fixing a power line. He finds he can control electricity, and sets out for revenge.

"Electro is a great character," Foxx said last December after he was cast. "I think Electro will be an exciting character to play because he's a … genius electrician-type person, and he gets the short end of the stick from the whole world, and the next thing you know he turns it on."

“The Amazing Spider-Man 2” will open in summer of 2014.
