It was tough avoiding leaked images of Foxx’s Electro, but the image above shows how Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige paid homage to the original iteration of Electro.
Ditching the blue from Andrew Garfield’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), Jaime Foxx is representing Electro in his natural yellow form — even donning the iconic star on his face (a physical trait of the iconic character from the comics).

The cherry on top was hearing so much of Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin speaking to Peter Parker, obviously persuading the young superhero/Avenger to release him, Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus, and the rest of the iconic characters from Doctor Strange’s (Benedict Cumberbatch) mystic prison.

More about Spider-Man: No Way Home
The Marvel Universe is becoming much more than Marvel Characters/Earth’s Mightiest Heroes like Star-Lord/Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), and Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers (Brie Larson).
Tom Holland is leading the way for Marvel Cinematic Universe newcomers Ms. Marvel/Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), Moon Knight (Oscar Isaac), Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn), She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany), Thena (Angelina Jolie), and more.
Entering into a whole new universe (thanks to the Multiverse spawned by Loki), three Peter Parkers (Maguire, Garfield, and Tom Holland) are defending Marvel’s New York against the Sinister Six, led by Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man 2 (2002) and Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin.
In No Way Home, Tom Holland (Peter Parker/Spider-Man) and Zendaya (MJ) are joined by Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Stephen Strange), Jon Favreau (Happy Hogan), Marisa Tomei (Aunt May), Jacob Batalon (Ned Leeds), and villain with great power Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus in the film.
