Color me confused! THR is reporting that Jamie Foxx is in final talks to reprise his role as Electro in Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures’ third Spider-Man film.

So, does this mean that the other Spider-Man films are now a part of this MCU universe? As you know, Electro was the main villain of the other Spider-Man film with Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man. It was completely separate from what is happening now. At least we thought it was!

Will this next film be playing with the Spider-Man multiverse? Or will they just be rebooting the character electro for the MCU with the same actor? I have no idea what is going on, and no explanation is given.

Foxx will join Tom Holland in the film and several other members of the cast from the first two movies. Jon Watts is also back to direct the Spider-Man 3 movie, which has yet to be given a title.

We don’t have any plot details to share regarding the film but after the events of Spider-Man: Far From Home, Parker is sure to be on the run and in hiding as he tries to clear his name after being framed by Mysterio.

Fans are hoping that while he is doing this, Kraven The Hunter will come into the story to try and hunt Spider-Man down. There have been reports that Kraven the Hunter will appear in the story and head to New York City to hunt down Spider-Man. There are also reports of a Kraven standalone film.

There are a lot of different directions that this story can go in, but in a previous interview with Tom Holland, he says that the script for the film is “absolutely insane.”

What do you think Foxx coming back as Electro means for the film and the Spider-Verse?

Firefly is a show that you’re not allowed to say anything negative about it on the internet without running the risk of being crucified. Well, Screen Junkies decided to give the show the Honest Trailer treatment. I enjoy the show myself, and this video definitely hits the nail on the head. I’m a little sad that Serenity wasn’t even mentioned. What are some of your honest opinions about Firefly? Mine is that it was ended too soon, but shouldn’t be brought back.

Jamie Foxx returning as Electro for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 3

Though the film he was a part of may have received generally mixed reviews and led to the cancellation of its series, Sony is in final talks to bring back Jamie Foxx as iconic Spider-Man villain Electro for the forthcoming third installment in the Tom Holland-starring franchise, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

While most of the original series cast are set to return for the threequel, Foxx’s casting further blurs the lines across Sony’s three webslinging franchises, with the previous installment bringing back J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson from Sam Raimi’s trilogy and the studio’s Sony Universe of Marvel Characters led by Venom expected to crossover into the Marvel Cinematic Universe series soon.

Foxx previously portrayed the role in 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 helmed by Marc Webb and starring Andrew Garfield in the titular role, but after it underperformed at the box office with $708.9 million worldwide on its estimated $200 million budget and received mixed reviews from critics and fans, Sony cancelled future plans including a third Garfield-led film and Sinister Six and Venom spin-offs.

Originally scheduled for a July 16, 2021 release, the film was first pushed back to November 5 and will now bow on December 17. The untitled third installment’s previous release date was recently given to Uncharted, with Holland revealing in an Instagram video that production on the webslinging title should begin around February 2021 after the conclusion of the filming for Nathan Drake’s long-awaited big-screen debut.

The news comes the same day as competitor studios Disney, Paramount and Warner Bros. all announced the delays of a number of their major releases including Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, the live-action adaptation of Mulan, John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place Part II, the long-awaited Tom Cruise sequel Top Gun: Maverick and James Cameron’s four Avatar sequels.

Tom Holland will return for the film as the titular wall-crawler, and it remains to be seen what villains he’ll go up against in the trilogy caper. Given the ending of Far From Home however, any number of his rogues gallery are likely eager for a fight. The third installment to the MCU’s Spider-Man films will also feature the return of Zendaya (Euphoria, Dune) as MJ. Holland’s Spider-Man is also set to appear in another Marvel Studios film per the new agreement.

Sony’s upcoming Spidey slate includes the Venom sequel, starring Tom Hardy and directed by Andy Serkis, as well as Jared Leto’s in-the-can Morbius, a Kraven the Hunter film, and a spinoff featuring Silver Sable and Black Cat. Should these films interact with the MCU and Tom Holland, it remains to be seen, but the door seems open.

Idris Elba is set to star in a new thriller that is based on an original idea created by Jaime Primak-Sullivan. The movie is set up at Universal Pictures, Baltasar Kormakur will direct the film, and Rampage scribe Ryan Engle wrote the script.

We don’t have any detailed plot deals to share, but it’s explained that the story is in the vein of The Shallows, but instead of facing off with a  shark, the main character, who is played by Elba, will face off with a Lion.

Of course, Idris Elba is going to take on a Lion! Hell yeah! I’ll watch a movie that features Elba fighting a Lion! Elba will totally kick its ass!

Will Packer and James Lopez are set to produce with Primak-Sullivan. This marks the second reteam of this producing team after working together on the 2018 thriller Breaking In.

J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot are set to produce an animated film adaptation of based on the Dr. Seuss book Oh, the Places You’ll Go! for Warner Bros. This will mark the first animated film project for Bad Robot.

Here’s the description of the book:

From soaring to high heights and seeing great sights to being left in a Lurch on a prickle-ly perch, Dr. Seuss addresses life’s ups and downs with his trademark humorous verse and illustrations, while encouraging readers to find the success that lies within. In a starred review, Booklist notes, “Seuss’s message is simple but never sappy: life may be a ‘Great Balancing Act,’ but through it all ‘There’s fun to be done.’” A perennial favorite and a perfect gift for anyone starting a new phase in their life!

WB head of motion pictures Hannah Minghella said in a statement, “Dr Seuss’ Oh, The Places You’ll Go! is full of the inspiration, imagination, wonder and hope that has encouraged and entertained readers of all ages for generations. It’s hard to imagine a more iconic or beloved book to bring to life as Bad Robot’s first animated feature for WB.”

Allison Abbate, EVP of Warner Animation Group added, “We are so thrilled to expand our creative partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises and are even more excited about the expansion of this slate of films. Our The Cat in the Hat is off to a terrific start with the incredible Erica Rivinoja and Art Hernandez at the helm. Oh, The Places You’ll Go! is one of Seuss’ most enduring masterpieces and its profound and poignant message resonates with fans of all ages. We are thrilled to be working with Hannah and J.J. at Bad Robot to bring this cultural touchstone to life on the big screen. And what could be more fun than to create an original story for Thing One and Thing Two? These two delightfully enigmatic characters will help us explore the magical world that Ted Geisel created with The Cat in the Hat and we can’t wait to jump in.”

Said Dr. Seuss Enterprises president Susan Brandt then said: “Warner Animation Group truly understands the timelessness of Dr. Seuss, the incredible impact of the characters and stories, and how to translate the magical appeal to truly come to life on screen.  With the amazing talent they are bringing to these projects, we are looking forward to bringing Oh, The Places You’ll Go! and Thing One and Thing Two to fans in a way that will delight them, capture their imaginations, and inspire them to read and re-read the stories.  We are also looking forward to collaborating with the incredibly talented Erica Rivinoja and Art Hernandez who we know will make magic with Cat in the Hat.”

WB is currently developing other Seuss projects including a new The Cat in the Hat animated film with directors Erica Rivinoja and Art Hernandez. There’s also a stand-alone feature film in the works based on Thing One and Thing Two, the characters that originated in Seuss’ seminal 1957 book Cat in the Hat. Those films won’t be coming for a long time, though.
