Despite the multiverse mayhem’s thrills inSpider-Man: No Way Home, audiences were left with mixed feelings about Jamie Foxx’s Electro design. Fans were looking for a more comic book-accurate portrayal of the electrifying villain when Max Dillon returned to the series as himself seven years after first squaring off against Andrew Garfield’s web-slinger inThe Amazing Spider-Man 2.
However, the final option fell short of expectations in conveying the legendary Electro from the pages of Marvel Comics, although the film included seven outstanding unused concepts that would have pleased fans.
#1 The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s Lingering Blue
Jamie Foxx’s Electro has a spectacular yet polarizing design inThe Amazing Spider-Man 2. Fans were divided about Electro’s new blue and electric look since it differed from his previous comic book incarnations.
The release ofSpider-Man: No Way Homewas eagerly anticipated by fans, who thought the film would finally address this visual mismatch.
#2 Embracing the Yellow Trim
One of the beautiful but abandoned designs recently surfaced is particularly remarkable in its understated elegance. Jamie Foxx’s Electro had a more natural complexion in the concept drawing, but the bright yellow accents on his costume stood out.
This style seems to hit the sweet spot between the traditional comic book appearance and the contemporary movie appeal, working wonderfully with the character’s electrical abilities.

#3 Intensifying the Yellow
Another piece of concept art expanded on the same idea and made it even more exciting. This version of Electro was presented even more colorful and stunningly by emphasizing the yellow parts of the costume.
The brilliant aura of the heightened yellow highlights bolstered the character’s menacing demeanor. It was a fan-favorite design that regrettably didn’t cut it so perfectly encapsulated Electro’s strength and energy.
#4 Sleek Black and Yellow Ensemble
The sleeker aesthetic of this idea harmoniously blended Electro’s signature colors with the classic MCU suit design, marking a shift from the chaotic, modular chest design ofThe Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Adding the yellow plate to the black costume gave Electro a striking look that was faithful to his comic book roots and updated for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
#5 Battle-Scarred and Protected
One piece of concept art revealed a more rough and battle-worn version of Electro, satisfying fans’ desire for a more in-depth look at the villain. This design gave Max Dillon a terrible past and made him appear like a deadly opponent for the web-slinger by giving him a scarred face and a protective-looking combat outfit. It would have given the film a more compelling plot and the protagonist greater depth of character.
#6 Embracing the Comics-Inspired Mask
One design, in particular, jumped out as a clear nod to Electro’s classic comic book look. This concept image strikes a balance between old and modern, providing a recognizable but renewed perspective on the electrifying opponent by adding a mask based on the character’s classic appearance from the comics and blending it with parts ofThe Amazing Spider-Man 2style.

#7 The Pinnacle of Comic-Book Accuracy
One of the scrapped concepts was the most faithful to the comic book norm. In this piece of concept art, the traditional green and yellow color scheme is combined with Electro’s recognizable yellow face form.
Fans’ dreams of seeing their favorite villain realized with such meticulous attention to detail were finally realized.
Jamie Foxx’s Redemption inNo Way Home
Jamie Foxxwas convinced to joinSpider-Man: No Way Homeafter being assured that his role as Electro would expand beyond the “blue” version seen inThe Amazing Spider-Man 2. Instead, he’d get to play a character who’s cooler and more complex.
Jamie Foxx’s return to the part of Electro allowed him to perform it again, this time among the complexity of the multiverse, in a new and exciting manner. Electro’s first appearance in the film included his signature blue all-energy outfit.

The new design was inspired by the character’s natural development and sought to bridge the gap between his origins and his future in the MCU. The adversaries inSpider-Man: No Way Homecame from various sources, but Electro’s story might develop further in future Marvel Cinematic Universe films.
Fans’ interest in Electro’s potential realization in future Spider-Man films or possibly spin-offs has been revived by the concept art inSpider-Man: No Way Home – The Art of the Movieartbook. Fans are hoping that the MCU would use the opportunity to give the electrifying villain a new spin while remaining faithful to his comic book roots in the near future.
