Spider-Man has the coolest rogue’s gallery. One of the many colourful, crazy adversaries he’s faced is Aleksei Mikhailovich Sytsevich aka The Rhino, a baddie who gets his powers from a hide-like exo-suit, which makes him super-strong and impervious to injury and most forms of conventional artillery attack. This Russian is also a huge fella toContinue Reading

I wonder, when Jamie Foxx signed up to play baddie Electro in “The Amazing Spider-man 2″ did he know upfront which version of the character it would be?

Last week, Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx tweeted that he was dressing up as Electro for Halloween. Naturally, the internet nearly imploded. Looks like it wasn’t just a tease. He really will be playing the villain in the sequel to “The Amazing Spider-Man”. Yesterday, returning director Marc Webb officially confirmed the speculation while promoting the firstContinue Reading

Frankly, this barely even qualifies as news, but what the heck. Since “The Amazing Spider-Man” made a mountain of money (over US$750 million worldwide), a sequel was a foregone conclusion. Nevermind the fact that the movie was a mediocre mess (read Electroshadow’s review here), all that matters to the studio is that it successfully relaunchedContinue Reading
