While doing the rounds and promoting “White House Down” overseas, Digital Spy spoke to Jamie Foxx in which he reveals that we will feel some empathy for the villain Electro in the upcoming sequel “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.”
Here’s what Foxx tells Digital Spy about Electro and the sympathetic backstory.
“I think with all the Spider-Man villains there’s a certain empathy to them. The way we crafted Electro was..when he’s Max, you definitely feel for him because he’s been sort of shut out, no one really cares about him and it’s his birthday, even his Mom forgets his birthday. So you will feel that. So that when he does turn into Electro, it’s serious venom. He really wants to hurt everybody, and he feels like Spider-Man betray’s him, so really wants to hurt him bad”
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″ hits theaters on May 2, 2014.
