As announced last September, Jamie Foxx too is turning his attention to superhero movies, having landed the part of villain Electro in the upcoming “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.”

In the gallery below you will find the first look at the character, two pics from the set in Times Square.

You will notice immediately the startling difference between this Electro and the original one, pictured here, whose costume is predominantly green and yellow, not blue.

Either way, Electro is considered in the top 100 of the best comic book villains of all times.

His real name is Max Dillon, a man who suffers an accident while working on a power line, which leaves him with the superhuman ability to control electricity, hence his name.

“The Amazing Spider-Man 2” also stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, and will be out on May 2, 2014.
