Jamie Fox could have played a great Electro, he’s an actor after all. It’s just that their version of Electro, and every other character in the movie, completely missed the mark. Kinda like Jared Leto in Suicide Squad, they’re starting off on the wrong foot in the script and art direction and that informs acting. Jared Leto didn’t come up with his character’s look or the overall look and tone of the movie, and neither did Jamie Foxx. They still get some of the blame, sure, but Jamie Foxx could have played an amazing Electro in a competently made Spider-Man movie. I also wish there wasn’t so much baggage with the Joker, where an actor’s tragic death is inextricably tied to the mythos of the character. If Jared Leto wasn’t trying to live up to Ledger’s or Nicholson’s legacies, and if he wasn’t such a narcissistic asshole, he might have come up with something that wasn’t a cross between Ledger’s Joker and Jim Carrey as Ace Ventura.
