But for people my daughter’s age, who’s 20, or my other daughter, who’s 5, when they see President Obama, they don’t know there’s a race situation. For people like my age and up-I’m 46-it’s always about race.
You know what? Here’s what’s interesting: When the doors start being knocked down-Denzel wins an Oscar, Halle wins an Oscar, Sidney Poitier-eventually the way of thinking about all race changes. When I grew up, they were all pretty whitewashed. It’s great that we’re seeing more people of color in superhero films. Well, I know Electro is part of the Sinister Six and electricity doesn’t go anywhere, it just dissipates, so I’ll put my bid in. It opens up a whole new fan base, so it’s strategic as well.Īre you going to be in the upcoming Sinister Six film? I’m out in Beijing, Tokyo, Malaysia promoting this with my daughter, and a lot of these kids will see me for the first time in Spider-Man. And you look at all these actors in these films-Robert Downey Jr., Christian Bale, Heath Ledger-what it does is it opens up your fan base. If you look at the Ultimate Series of Spider-Man, Electro always gets shorted-out and then comes back. Well, Electro is part of the Sinister Six, and this movie is really a setup movie. You haven’t done a superhero flick before, so why Electro and why The Amazing Spider-Man 2? You know how people shoot against green screen? My whole body was like a blue screen. You know, it’s crazy! Nobody can see my shit, man! I was in makeup for four-and-a-half hours and now people say, “Oh, that’s just CGI, that’s not even really him.” Imagine a big vat of candle wax, and they just dipped me in that for four-and-a-half hours, and then I emerged with silicone from head-to-toe. What sort of suit did they put you in for Electro?
