Wonder no more, nerds – the Daily Mail has revealed pics of Jamie Foxx in full Electro makeup, and it’s pretty dag-gon’ stunning.
The actor, who confesses he is a long time Spider-Man fan, will portray Maxwell Dillon in the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man sequel (Andrew Garfield style, natch). Electro was created when Mr. Dillon was electrocuted on the job, but instead of being killed he developed the ability to produce and control electricity. Thankfully, the Powers That Be opted for a more modern, simplistic costume (hopefully, I guess these photos aren’t full blown villain yet) instead of the, erm, shocking mask that Electro of pages past sported. Foxx’s IMDB page just keeps getting more interesting; with iconic characters and critical acclaim occurring in all combinations.
I’m old a huge fan of practical makeup and effects, so it’s nice to see candid photos with such stunning work. If there are CG effects built in, hopefully they won’t destroy that beautiful makeup or cover up a great performance.
