Jamie Foxx In Talks To Reprise “Electro” Role In New “Spider-Man”
It’s safe to say that nobody expected that Jamie Foxx would be reprising his role as Electro, especially after the universally panned Amazing Spider-Man 2 seemed to come and go while leaving little lasting impression. And yet, as has been confirmed in a slew of reports, it would appear that Foxx will be once more stepping into the shoes of the classic Spider-Man villain.
With final talks currently ongoing, Foxx is said to be starring alongside Tom Holland in the next Spider-Man film, which is slated for release on for Nov. 5, 2021 — albeit highly subject to change, given the ongoing COVID situation. It should be noted that the upcoming movie will be produced as a collaboration between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, with Homecoming and Far From Home director Jon Watts once again stepping up to helm the project.
It’s genuinely unclear as to how the studios plan on reintegrating Foxx’s Electro back into Spider-Man’s world, and many have already begun theorizing as to whether or not the character will be undergoing a complete overhaul. Though there’s always the possibility of multiple universes in the mix, it feels far more likely that this will be an Electro 2.0, more in line with the existing Spider-Man universe the Tom Holland films helped popularize.
Of course, Foxx wouldn’t be the first familiar face to make a return — lest we forget that J.K. Simmonds previously reprised his iconic role as J. Jonah Jameson in the climactic moments of Far From Home. Still, that character was far more beloved than Foxx’s Electro ever was — though perhaps the second time will prove to be the charm. How do you feel about this surprising bit of casting news?

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”
Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.
“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.
But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
