The interwebs were set ablaze yesterday when it was reported that Jamie Foxx was set to return as Electro in Marvel Studios' still-untitled Spider-Man sequel, and now, the Academy Award-winning actor has finally confirmed his involvment with an Instagram post that strongly hints at the Marvel multiverse.

He says, "Tell Spidey let’s run it back!... super excited to part of the new marvel Spider-Man new installment... can t wait for y’all to check the new one. And I won’t be blue in this one!! But a thousand percent badass!!! #swipeleft"

If you do actually swipe left, you'll see a number of photos and fan art that depicts him squaring off with Tom Holland's titular webslinger, including one very interesting piece he chose to share where three Spideys are facing an electrical field with his face superimposed.

While it's likely just a fun piece that Foxx found amusing, he has now added a considerable amount of fuel to the ever-growing fire for fans who believe that Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures may secretly be planning a massive Spider-Verse event film that would also see both Tobey Maguire from the Raimi trilogy and Andrew Garfield from the Amazing duology return.

Foxx also stresses that he won't be blue in the upcoming threequel, which seemingly suggests that this will indeed be a different version of the classic Spidey villain and not the same character he played in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

As for whether he'll put on Electro's classic green suit with the matching headgear, that remains to be seen.

And Tobey Maguire is back (for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness).

@Amuro - thats crazy. And I love it

TheWalkingCuban - 10/2/2020, 2:19 PM

@Amuro - see, yesterday was panic, just had to wsit a whole is all

TheWalkingCuban - 10/2/2020, 2:17 PM

I don’t think he knows he close that was

MovieMonster - 10/2/2020, 2:18 PM

So that confirms that ASM2 Electro is not in Spider-Man 3 but rather a new take on the same character played by the same actor. This is [frick]ing weird but I'm excited to see what they do with it. Apparently Feige pushed for this, not Sony.

Manmarvel - 10/2/2020, 2:40 PM

@MovieMonster - not really, there are several reasons for him to not be blue anymore, better control of his powers, a new suit that hides it, he could be a new color ect.

Amuro - 10/2/2020, 2:46 PM

@Manmarvel - Or it's a new version and they try to separate it from the previous one. Like bald Jonah.

JonC - 10/4/2020, 5:21 PM

@Manmarvel - Or simply being represented as a black man instead of a blue man. I mean you cast someone black and then paint him blue... yikes in this culture

JustAChillFan - 10/2/2020, 2:20 PM

Thank [frick] lmao.

Darkknight2149 - 10/2/2020, 3:22 PM

@JustAChillFan -
His appearance in TASM2 honestly wasn't that far off from the comics. Unless you were expecting a sunflower mask...

@Darkknight2149 - it will be great when Electro supercharges Spidey's new suit via Stark

tmp3 - 10/2/2020, 2:21 PM

So it's a Reynolds-as-Deadpool ('16) and Simmons-as-Jameson ('19) type deal? I can dig it. He's got the chops, cool that he's getting redemption at a role that was, quite frankly, embarrassing the first time around

Mrcool210 - 10/2/2020, 2:21 PM

So wait....if he's not blue he's not the same electro from TASM 2. Yet he posts pics that seem to confirm multiverse. I'm so confused

heyy1 - 10/2/2020, 2:28 PM

@Mrcool210 - probably a doubleganger, electro from a different universe.
Makes sense for them to make him look different.

Spidey91 - 10/2/2020, 2:30 PM

@Mrcool210 - it's mostly fanarts and, well, the blue version of him is the only version we've known and seen.

Amuro - 10/2/2020, 2:31 PM

@heyy1 - As long as he's not defeated because of Black Cat exposing her breasts to lure him (what Sam Raimi had in store for him), I'm fine with it.

heyy1 - 10/2/2020, 3:34 PM

@Amuro - what!?

Amuro - 10/2/2020, 4:56 PM

@heyy1 - That was the way Electro was supposed to be defeated in one of Spider-man 4's story treatments.

@Amuro - wow, how was that approved?

Amuro - 10/3/2020, 7:53 AM

@heyy1 - It wasn't. Sam Raimi wasn't able to conceive a story that worked (this treatment is awful) so he gave up on making the movie.

TheRationalNerd - 10/2/2020, 2:22 PM

This is awesome. So glad to hear that Foxx will get another shot.

So far that's..

Vulture
Mysterio
Electro
Scorpion
Kraven

bkmeijer2 - 10/2/2020, 2:25 PM

@TheRationalNerd - and Shocker is also around too, but if we're going for a Sinister Six I want Doc Ock
