Jamie Foxx’s Electro to return in Tom Holland's Spider-Man 3?

Jamie Foxx played the role of supervillain Electro in Andrew Garfield’s Amazing Spider-man 2. However, the movie was a failure and Jamie Foxx's over the top acting in the movie was disliked by fans and critics. After the failure of Amazing Spider-man 2, Sony shared the rights of Spider-man with Disney to give fans the MCU version of Tom Holland's Spider-man. But according to a new report by The Hollywood Reporter, Jamie Foxx is set to return as Electro for MCU's Spider-Man 3.

If a contract is signed then the actor will return as Electro as Tom Holland's Spider-Man 3. Jamie Foxx's iteration of Electro was the very first live-action version of the character. However, Amazing Spider-man 2 bombed at the box office and Andrew Garfield’s version of the web-slinger was cancelled.
