The Amazing Spider-man 2 (2014) - Jamie Foxx On Electro's Motives

He told MTV:

"You'll see that in his whole life, no one is talking to him. People have stolen his ideas at the big company. He's a nobody," Foxx told MTV News about Electro's back story in the "Spider-Man" sequel. "At a certain point, Spider-Man bumps into him and says, 'You're my guy. You're my eyes and ears on the street. And he says his name — no one has ever said [Max] Dillon's name." 

The encounter leaves Dillon reeling with Spider-Man fan fever. "He sort of starts thinking that somehow, he's Spider-Man's partner," Foxx explained. But Dillon's good fortunes take a turn for the worse when his own mother forgets his birthday, leading to a series of "tragic" and "crazy" events that turn Dillon into the electrically-enhanced nemesis comic book readers are familiar with. 

"When it turns on, he lights it up," the actor teased.

The film is scheduled to open on 02 May 2014.
