Spider-Man: No Way Home managed to pull off bringing all those different villains from previous movies together, resulting in arguably the greatest Marvel Comics adaptation to date. Jamie Foxx was far from a highlight in 2014's The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but the Oscar-winner clearly jumped at the chance of redemption and delivered a scene-stealing performance as the returning Max Dillon.
According to Murphy's Multiverse, "Sony is now interested in developing an Electro solo project starring Foxx." Of all the bad guys we were reintroduced to in the threequel, this one arguably makes the most sense for his own spinoff, and the consequences of could be huge.
As part of the same world as Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man, the door could be open to his take on the web-slinger showing up to guide Electro in wherever this story takes him. Foxx and Marvel Studios essentially rebooted Max in Spider-Man: No Way Home, injecting some attitude and humour into the rogue and stealing the show at times in the process.
If this Electro movie happens, then it would join an expanding slate of movies set in Sony's Spider-Man Universe. Morbius is heading our way next year, while the likes of Kraven the Hunter, Madame Web, and Spider-Woman are all in various stages of development. Ultimately, this spinoff sounds like the perfect opportunity to bring Garfield's Peter Parker back to the big screen as well, but we'll have to treat this as a rumor for the time being.
Find out what we thought of Foxx's Electro return in our review of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
