Jamie Foxx is almost unrecognizable in his newest movie role. Yesterday, pictures were posted online showing Foxx as Electro in “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” The pictures are the first unofficial look at Foxx in the movie, and were taken while he was shooting a scene in Times Square on Monday.

“Electro is a great character,” Foxx told Entertainment Tonight last year. “He’s a … genius electrician-type person, and he gets the short end of the stick from the whole world, and the next thing you know he turns it on.”

Set for release on May 2nd 2012, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 stars Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, joined by Emma Stone, Dane DeHaan, Chris Cooper, Paul Giamatti and Felicity Jones.
