Spider-Man: Homecoming
Jamie Foxx is returning to the role of Electro for the MCU’sSpider - military personnel 3 , and that should think viewers have seen the last of one of the villain left over fromSpider - Man : Homecoming- Shocker . Having played the villain for the first and only clock time in the much - malignedThe Amazing Spider - Man 2 , it had long seemed as though Foxx ’s incumbency as Electro was well and truly over . But with the MCU opening up the multiverse and the lines between Sony and Marvel ’s franchises increasingly blur , Foxx has been devote a second chance .
It remains to be seen exactlyhow Electro ’s return worksor what contrive Sony and Marvel have for him , though the most likely consequence is that this correspond with a resurgence of the former ’s plans for the Sinister Six to team - up , something the MCUSpider - Manmovies have already started loosely coiffe up . Several potential member already exist from bothSpider - Man : HomecomingandSpider - Man : Far From Home , admit the likes of Vulture ( Michael Keaton ) , Scorpion ( Michael Mando ) , and Mysterio ( Jake Gyllenhaal ) , but the inclusion of Electro inSpider - Man : Homecoming 3is bad news for one MCU baddie .

Among the raiment of villains inSpider - Man : Homecomingwas Shocker , who serves as part of Adrian Toomes ' crew . The original Shocker , Jackson Brice ( Logan Marshall - Green ) was pour down off by Vulture , with his gantlet then lapse on to Herman Schultz ( Bokeem Woodbine ) , who usurp the mantle of Shocker . Last seen being defeated by Spider - Man and after cop , the fact the case was left alive certainly meant the room access was undetermined for a counter . With Vulture himself set to come back in the hereafter ( at least inMorbius , but presumptively futureSpider - Maninstallments as well ) , and theSinister Sixon the mesa , then Shocker , a frequent Spider - Man baddie in the comics , might ’ve been well - placed to seem again . But with Electro , that now feels far less likely .
Although the two villain are n’t just the same , deliver Electro inSpider - Man 3does rather turn in Shocker as moot . After all , while Shocker has to bank on his gauntlet to provide him with the ability to use electric shock charges , that is n’t the case of Electro , who is a superpowered being and possess a much keen array of abilities . AlthoughSpider - Man 3could perhaps make a joke of it , there ’s little need to have to electricity - centric villains in the same movie , not least when one is so much stiff - and thus a far greater scourge - than the other .
This specially makes sense if , as suspected , the MCU and Sony ’s Marvel pic are laying the groundwork for the Sinister Six to appear . While Shocker has been imply with the squad in various Marvel Comics storylines , Electro is far more synonymous with them and is among their founding members , and so is a much unspoiled option to include in a freehanded projection screen version . It also work up more hype forSpider - human 3 ’s releasetoo , with the homecoming of Electro a bounteous sell than the return of Shocker . While the baddie serve a purpose inSpider - Man : Homecomingand Woodbine did a in effect job in the role , it would seem as though the plug has been deplume on any chances of him give .
