by Derek Kraneveldt

This week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly is (of course) an annual Comic Con preview issue.

What better to grace the cover than one of the biggest comic book movies to be shown off next week, The Amazing Spider-Man 2? The cover features our first official look at Jamie Foxx as Electro, gives us a much better look at Garfield’s new spider-suit, and the issue also features a first image of Dane Dehaan’s Harry Osborn.

Take a look at the shots below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to this one. Which side of The Amazing Spider-Man fence do you sit on?

Marc Webb Tweets First Official Look At Jamie Foxx As Max Dillon In ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’

by Shawn Madden

We’ve seen actor Jamie Foxx done up in the makeup for Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and now the director has given us an official first look at Foxx as Max Dillon. The image highlights the character’s previously talked about obsession with Spider-Man and shows Foxx looking quite different than we are used to.

In The Amazing Spider-Man™ 2, for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can’t come quickly enough. Peter hasn’t forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away – but that’s a promise he just can’t keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 swings into theaters May 2nd, 2014.

Actor Jamie Foxx appeared on set today and the Daily Mail has got some snaps from the Times Square set of Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man sequel. This images reveal our first look at Foxx as Maxwell Dillon aka Electro in the film. Now, keep in mind that this is pre-VFX and definitely not the character’s final costume by any means and the character will have a “shockingly” great look when we see the final product.

Jamie Foxx Talks About His Excitement Playing Electro In ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Sequel

by Shawn Madden

Earlier today alongside the announcement that actor Dane DeHaan (Chronicle) has officially signed on to play Harry Osborn in the sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man, director Marc Webb also announced that Academy Award-winning actor Jamie Foxx has also signed on for the sequel to play the super-villain Electro in the film. While speaking with Entertainment Tonight just hours after Sony’s press release hit, Foxx commented on his excitement for the film:

“Electro is a great character! I met with the director, Mark Webb, I met with Andrew Garfield, and we talked. 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.”

While many may frown upon this casting, I believe we are in for a treat here. Foxx is a fantastic actor who I believe will blow many away with his performance. Remember people, we also said that Heather Ledger was wrong for a certain role when they cast him.

The currently untitled sequel will be hitting theaters May 2, 2014.

Shaliene Woodley In Talks To Play Mary Jane Watson In ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Sequel

by Shawn Madden

With Marc Webb back to direct the sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man sequel, Sony Pictures are preparing to start casting for the film, which is set to begin production early next year. Variety is reporting that Shailene Woodley (The Descendants) is in early talks to join the cast as Mary Jane Watson.

Watson is the most well known of Peter Parker’s love interest and Woodley is said to be the studio’s leading choice for role. Sony are also currently looking for an actor to play Harry Osborn, Parker’s best friend. Still a little surprised that this character wasn’t introduced in the first film.

Oh, and who is the current villain rumored for the sequel? Well, it’s definitely one of the ones we said a while back. Rumor is that we may see Electro. However, being that production doesn’t begin for a few more months, there’s still plenty of time for them to decide which villain will take on Spidey next on the big screen.

The currently untitled sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man is set to hit theaters May 2nd, 2014.
