While we already know that Jamie Foxx’s Electro will be joining the MCU in the upcoming Spider-Man 3, Foxx has seemingly just revealed that this new version of Electro he will be playing won’t be blue this time around.
As reported by ComicBook.com, a now-deleted Instagram post by Foxx detailed his excitement and teased “can’t wait for y’all to check this new one. And I won’t be blue in this one. But a thousand percent badass!!! #swipeleft.”
Originally appearing in 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Foxx played a blue version of Electro, who wore a green and yellow outfit in Marvel’s comics. It’s yet unclear which version Foxx will be playing in the upcoming film, or if he will even be the same version of Max Dillon that he played in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Foxx isn’t the only non-MCU Spider-Man character confirmed to make an appearance in future Marvel films as, during the post-credits scene from Spider-Man: Far From Home, we saw the return of another one who may imply a possible multiverse between the various movies.

What’s even more interesting is that with the addition of Electro, we now have five of the six members of the Sinister Six appearing in the MCU alongside Vulture, Mysterio, Scorpion, and Shocker. Could this be setting up an inevitable MCU Sinister Six movie for the future?
Spider-Man 3 is set to begin filming in Atlanta this Fall after a delay that pushed back the planned release date to December 17, 2021.
