MOVIE NEWS: "FINALLY, A BLACK GUY IN SPIDERMAN 2 ...AND HE IS THE BAD GUY!!!"

Am I sounding racist? I hope not?! I just heard that a popular guy will be playing a villain in the sequel to the 2012 superhero movie 'The Amazing Spider-man , and it got me thinking, wait a minute...this guy is gonna be the first black guy! 
Well, I was gladdened by the news since I am a great fan of the Spider-man comic brand, and this popular black actor who is also a comedian. But I also wondered why it took them this long. You still don't know who I am taking about right? Watch the trailer 'Amazing Spider-man 2' below to find out!

Still not sure who this is? Its my homie Jamie...Jamie Foxx everybody! And he will be playing 'Electro', a baddie with the ability to control electricity along with Paul Giamatti as Aleksei Sytsevich who plays another known arch enemy of the Spider-man, 'The Rhino.'

Another popular comic actor was rumored to play one of Spider-Man’s most demented and violent villains, Cletus Kasady, better known as Carnage, and that person is no other person than funny dude, "Jim Carrey." The rumors started with a message board user on Superhero Hype, claiming that Carrey was in the film.

Seven Web Heads, known for their set videos and other Spider-espionage, posted a pair of videos to, first claiming they had word Carrey was, indeed, going to play a small role or make a cameo in the film. They speculated that he could play either Kasady or Mysterio, while others thought J. Jonah Jameson was a possibility.

They followed it up, though, with the revelation that back in March, Carrey had visited the set and a fan had tweeted a photograph of himself with the comedy icon to prove it. Given the fact that the scenes shot in March were set at Ravencroft Institute, a mental institution that’s home to many of Spidey’s nastiest villains, Seven Web Heads followed up with speculation that Carrey would indeed be playing Kasady, who was once an inmate there.

It’s a lot of speculation, but there’s a bit of meat to it and, frankly, it plays into some of the other sequel rumors that fans have already heard, so expect this to become a persistent question until the movie comes out. (Excerpt from comicbook.com; August 11, 2013)

Dane DeHaan also makes his debut as Harry Osborn, Peter Parker's best friend. Shailene Woodley had also been due to appear as Mary Jane Watson, but her role has recently been cut from the film and MJ will now make her Amazing Spider-Man debut in the third movie, due in 2016. Director Marc Webb said that the cut was "a creative decision to streamline the story and focus on Peter and Gwen and their relationship."
