The web of Spider-Man is getting bigger as Sony bets on the webslinger’s universe of villains.

 

“We are expanding the ‘Spider-Man’ universe into ‘The Sinister Six’ and ‘Venom,’ so that we have ‘Spider-Man’ movies every year,” says Sony co-chair Amy Pascal in a new Variety story.

 

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens May 2nd. Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) takes on Electro, Rhino but Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) will transform into the Green Goblin and not to mention Harry Osborn (Chris Cooper) may or may not an off-camera nemesis. B.J. Novak has been revealed as Alistair Smythe, creator of the Spider-Slayer robots.  The trailer clearly shows some hardware from classic Spidey villains like Doc Ock and Vulture in the vaults of Oscorp.

Sony unveiled the new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Andrew Garfield returns as Peter Parker. While Spidey’s popularity grows in New York so do his list of enemies.

 

The packed game day trailer includes:

The origin of Electro (Jamie Foxx) and his obsession with Spidey.

An armored up Rhino on the attack.

The ultra creepy Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan.)

And maybe most heart-racing of all…a scene with Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) that could mirror one of the most shocking moments in comics history.

Jamie Foxx as Spawn?

 

The Oscar winner plays Spidey villain Electro in Amazing Spider-Man 2 next year but has an Image hero on his wish list.

 

“Spawn is one, yeah. And Mike Tyson. Those are two roles I would just love to do. I’m aggressively pursuing them,” Foxx told Movies.com.

 

Spawn is the creation of Todd McFarlane. Al Simmons was a soldier turned assassin who was betrayed and killed. Al became a “Hellspawn” in a deal with a demonic force order to see his wife again. Continue reading Jamie Foxx “Aggresively Pursuing” SPAWN

Amazing Spider-Man Sequel Talk

Amazing Spider-Man is out on dvd/blu ray but fans are buzzing about the sequel! Director Marc Webb, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone will return.

The biggest casting rumor is that Jamie Foxx may play Electro according to Variety.     Electro’s real name is Max Dillon. The villain gains control of electricity after being struck by lightning.

Shailene Woodley is reportedly in talks to join the cast…as Mary Jane Watson?

I still think Dr. Michael Morbius (The Living Vampire) would make an excellent villain in the darker, edgier Spideyverse Webb has created but Morbius’s story may be too similar to Curt Connors/The Lizard.

What do you think of having Jamie Foxx as Electro?
