We were pleasantly surprised when it was revealed that Jamie Foxx would be playing Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. After four movies spent dealing with Goblins, Lizards, and an Octopus, the Web Head was in desperate need of a change from his normal roster of villains.

The only thing we were concerned about was how Electro would look, because in the original comics, the character always wore a pair of gaudy green and yellow tights that just wouldn’t cut it on the big screen. Thankfully, in a recent interview with Black Film, Foxx talked about how the look of the character is getting a necessary update.

From the sound of it, director Marc Webb is going for a more realistic suit for Electro. The liquid rubber obviously makes sense for a character that can control electricity, and the lack of bright green and yellow should go a long way towards making him not look like a joke on screen. Also, we wouldn’t mind them getting rid of that goofy lightning bolt mask either.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will hit theaters on May 2, 2014.
