    Idris Elba as Heimdall. It might not have been a massive role, but he played it brilliantly and really made an impression. Plus I just really like him as actor.

    I really dig like Jamie Foxx as Electro. They could have done anyway with Black Edward Nigma at the begining but i liked everything else about him.

    Man, it's not like Michael Clarke Duncan was even the first black guy to play the Kingpin.

    Roscoe Lee Browne - IMDb

    And THAT was a great portrayal.

    Perry had more of a presence than Heimdall. Plus, you could actually see the actor without a cockamamie outfit and contact lenses.

    No mention of Will Smith playing James West in Wild Wild West?
