If you're one of the people who has always loved Jamie Foxx [1]'s underrated performance as Electro from Andrew Garfield's The Amazing Spider-Man 2, this one's for you! According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Project Power star is currently in talks to reprise the role opposite the latest Peter Parker [2], namely Marvel and Sony's Tom Holland [3].
The untitled Spider-Man 3 is slated to arrive in theatres on Nov. 15, 2021 — although that may change considering the coronavirus's impact on movie release dates [5] — and will follow the events kicked off in Spider-Man: Far From Home [6]. Jon Watts — the filmmaker behind Homecoming and Far From Home — is returning to direct the third film, as well as most of the cast from the previous movies, including Zendaya [7], Jacob Batalan, Marisa Tomei, and Tony Revolori. For those who need a refresher, Far From Home ended with Peter's secret identity being exposed to the world [8] and the reveal that Nick Fury and Maria Hill have been up in space with travel Skrulls rather than on Earth, which leaves a much bigger universe for the Marvel Cinematic Universe to explore as we go into Phase Four.
Far From Home also included the return of another Spider-Man favourite: J.K. Simmons as John Jonah Jameson, Jr. himself [9]! His return, coupled with Foxx's as Electro and Michael Keaton's Vulture skulking around in the Morbius trailer [10], are really beefing up Sony's Spider-Verse for upcoming films. Story details for the third Spider-Man are still scarce, but we have plenty of theories to ponder [11] over as we await more information!
