A few years ago, Raimi’s Spider-Man fell of favor. Suddenly, he’s cool again. Why?

While plenty of fans hold Sam Raimi‘s Spider-Man film close to their hearts, it’s probably fair to say that the costume for Willem Dafoe‘s Green Goblin hasn’t aged particularly well. Given the dynamic costumes for the current generation of Marvel villains - including Frank Grillo‘s Crossbones, Cate Blanchett‘s Hera, and plenty more - Dafoe’s Green Goblin seems a little bulky and a lot campy, not unlike a Power Rangers villain that wandered out of his franchise and somehow ended up in the Marvel universe. It certainly gets the job done by the standards of the day, but rewatching scenes from that film suggest that the studio had a missed opportunity to do something a little more memorable with the character.

To celebrate this weekend's big 'Comic Con' in San Diego, the producers of the soon to be released 'Spider Man 2' have unveiled their latest trailer, giving us all for the first time, a close up look at Spidey's latest nemesis, Electro, played by Oscar winner Jamie Foxx.
