Amazing Spider-Man 2 Reveals Electro Origins

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 introduces audiences to several new villains which should be easily recognizable to comic-book fans. Paul Giamatti is playing Rhino, conveniently re-imagined as a criminal thug inside a tank-like armored suit with a horned helmet. Chris Cooper and Dane DeHaan are likewise playing  Normon Osborne and his son Harry, with one of them clearly getting on his Green Goblin Glider.

However the film’s main nemesis is clearly Jamie Foxx as Electro. Sony’s latest official trailer for the superhero sequel reveals just how Foxx’s character finds himself transformed from a meek mannered fan of Spider-Man to his most deadly lighting throwing enemy. Keep your Spidey eyes out for a few lighting fast glimpses of Goblin and Rhino in action too.

The Lego Movie Sequel Planned

The Lego Movie hasn’t even assembled itself properly in cinemas yet, but already the studio behind the much anticipated animated adventure have reportedly decided to push ahead with plans for a sequel. Written and directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the first film is expected to succeed in the box office and demonstrates the same formula of winning comedic charm that made their past efforts Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs and 21 Jump Street surprising success stories.

Unfortunately it seems that the creative duo will only produce the sequel with Michelle Morgan (Girl Most Likely) and Jared Stern (Mr Popper’s Penguins) being handed writing duties this time. Whatever the case it looks like he studio is insisting that it isn’t done playing with it’s Lego box just yet… 5 more minutes mom!
